Belgium: Brussels
Areas in the city:
In a nutshell...
Known as the capital of comic strips, Brussels is also unique for its mix of modern buildings and Art Nouveau style homes.
An animated and festive city, it is not rare to witness a fanfare or a parade in the Grand Place nor is it uncommon to see the Mannekenpis being adomed in a new costume; Brussels is a city for walking.
The city is spread out, with 19 districts depicting many different faces of the capital. Ixelles is famous for its nightlife, where Saint-Gilles, particularly the Maison Horta, is popular with those who are interested in Art Nouveau.
Truly European in character, Brussels offers all the Belgian specialities, from beer to waffles, but Italian and French dishes are also popular. This is a city where everyone can find something of interest.
Brussels : Bars
MOKAFE
Mokafé can be found in The Saint Hubert galleries and is a place to stop and refresh oneself at all times of the day. Tavern, bar, and tea room, the establishment also serves food and snacks. The retro decor adds a little something to the bar as does the patio set up under the protection of the gallery's glass ceiling.
For lunch, Mokafé offers house salad with ham and cheese (5.95€), avocado with vinagrette (4.90€), a ham, cheese, and tomato omelette (4.20€) and for hot dishes, baked garbanzos with cheese and potatoes (6.80€) or chicken and rice (6.70€). Snack time cravings can be satisfied with ice cream and spéculoos (5.80€) or an apple crepe. Hot drinks are served all the time and happy hour is especially nice with the Belgian favorite Pim's (4.80€).
