Cool place for breakfast, brunch, lunch or just a coffee break. Busy place, much appreciated by families but also as a workplace during the week. Livaï works there as a waiter! :)

One of the world's best bars according to The Guardian. Definitely Brussels' smallest one. You can often stumble upon the singer Arno.

A little further (10-15 min. walk), but very wide range of Belgian beers, and competent waiters to help you make choices.

Sightseeing
Place du béguinage is a quiet and charming place where it's nice to just walk by or sit in front of the church to read a book. Stromae's video clip "La pluie" was mad there.

We like Brussels' Palais de Justice. It's more impressive than actually beautiful, but from there you have a nice view over Brussels, and then you can take the elevator down to the Marolles neighborhood.

The flea market is open every day until 2 PM, and is at the end of the Marolles neighborhood which is especially nice if you like second hand and antiques shops (often only open during the weekend).

Museums
馬格里特博物館
1 Pl. RoyaleIf there's only one artist you remember from Belgium, we hope it will be him.
Even if you're not interested in music, it's worth passing by this museum just for its architecture. The restaurant on the roof offers a great view over Brussels (and is a great excuse to see the building from the inside).
