Brussels, Belgium + Add a trip

Turkish restaurant METIN chausse de Haecht (metro Botanique)

At the end of the Galeries Royales, either Arcadi (Belgian and North African cuisine) or Hemispheres (North African and Indian-inspired cuisine).

At the side of La Monnaie opera house, Intermezzo (Italian).

On Boulevard Anspach, near Place Annessens, Rugantino (Italian)

My favorite: brasserie 'L'Union' on the 'Parvis de St. Gilles', a nice no nonsense hang out for everybody, young folks, old folks, blues men and electro-people. They serve heavy spaghetti's and lasagna's, both vegetarian and with meat. Aks for the soup of the day. A full blown meal with a beer will set you back around 10 euro's. And you've seen a real authentic part of life in Brussels. Don't miss it! It's on tramstop 'Parvis St.Gilles', and you'll find it where the square corners 'Rue de Moscou'
