My favourite Brussels store of the moment, beautiful good quality clothing and amazingly friendly…read morestaff. The store is a wonderful addition to the H&M family, very minimalist design yet really stylish. The Cafe is wonderful and is a great place to stop for tea in the middle of a shopping spree, where again you will be welcomed by the really polite staff.

I often come here to have a coffee or lunch. They have really good coffees and their baristas know…read moretheir job. Prices are very reasonable and I like the atmosphere. In summer you can also sit outside. They have free WiFi. Their lunch options are middle eastern / Mediterranean, while their cookie and cake section is more Scandinavian. Their salads and wraps are fresh and the staff as always been extremely nice!

This shop is niether a hardware nor an electronics store. It is a kitchen supply store, from pots…read moreand pans, to tea kettles and French presses. I think some things were a little overpriced for example a Bodum French press for 30 Euros, but then again the tea kettle seemed reasonable. They do have some pretty interesting gadgets too.

So my sister moves to Brussels and I get to spend 6 months of her first year there helping her…read moreadjust to life. And a big part of that was nesting and getting her home situated. It's a little frustrating that a few of the things that we selected weren't in stock and wouldn't be in stock for quite some time. As multicultural as Brussels is, it's really hard to get a staff member that speaks anything but French....soooooo good luck! We ended up (after several visits) getting her some mirrors, a shoe rack, her little kitchen table and chairs, a rug, and a side table for the guest room. So, after a bit of coming back and checking on stock....we got what we were looking for....but it's dreadful when more often than not, what you're looking for won't be in stock.

I can appreciate Brussels is a very ephemerous city, it should however be the dream of IKEA. In…read moreAnderlecht, it can turn into a nightmare..

(No, this was not required in Portugal ;-) )
