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.

ULTIME ATOME
Between the "Matongé" district, where Zairian immigrants live, and the Chaussée d'Ixelles shopping district the Ultime Atome brasserie, open since 1987, has become a neighborhood hangout. It offers breakfasts, lunches and dinners as well as snacks and drinks at all times of the day.
Here customers are a lively mix of neighborhood shop keepers, Zairians, and artists who live nearby. The menu offers a good selection of Belgian beers in bottles and glasses of wine. Appetizers include the classics: the 1001 vegetable tourte and a salad of honey roasted goat cheese with Corinthian grapes. Main dishes include all the flavors of the local markets.
