(Brussels, Brussels-Capital Region, Belgium, BE)



Dining out has long been a major pastime in Brussels and the city contains a serious number of quality eateries and restaurants. Whilst there are plenty of restaurants all around Brussels, many tourists tend to stick to the largest and most obvious, which line the cobblestone alleys around the Grand Place and can also be found along the gastronomic Rue des Bouchers, the Rue du Midi, the Passage du Nord and the Galeries St. Hubert.

Brussels is also home to a plethora of charming cafes and coffee shops, which often feature surprisingly extensive menus and certainly much more than just cakes. Being such a cosmopolitan city, those dining out here can expect a wealth of international restaurants, such as Greek, Italian, Japanese, Spanish and also Turkish, along with many traditional Belgian eateries.
