A sunny day, and a new place to discover. That's how we ended up here. An old "tricoterie"-…read moreknitwear factory, the building was abandoned until a cooperative of passionate people took it over and transformed into a "Fabrique de liens" - factory of connections. Lots of events, cultural offer, social meetings and of course: BRUNCH. The system is simple, you can order a big or small brunch, and choose between coffee/tea, bread and sweet pastries. Or you can order something on the lunch menu (we had a fantastic burger, that came with all sort of side vegetables). Then you get buttons to receive what you ordered. It's all self service, no table service. If you like the place so much, you can even become a "tricoteur", a member of the cooperative: you pay 50€ per year and get a free entry to a concert/event, a free juice every time you order brunch and other discounts. We liked the light, the relaxed atmosphere, the spacious place and the yummi food. All the products are fresh, bio and organic!

I think I'll go back there for other events than brunch.

What makes this place extra cool is the fact you can eat here and have some drinks before going to a gig a few metres away. Staff are fine and service is fairly fast (unless you are unlucky and the support band and roadies order en masse just before you!). Wine selection is also surprisingly good! A little tricky to eat here at night if you aren't going to a gig - definitely book in advance.

A no non-sense corner café with a view of the square and passerby. Beer on tap is limited to 10 but…read morewith great selection and pretty much all at an unbeatable 3 euros. If you're not situated on the outdoor terrace to watch the world pass on by, then they have plenty of cozy seating inside in the form of bench tops. A couple of TV's scattered about which are guaranteed to be showing a football or rugby match. Food is limited and consists of cheese, bread, and sausages (snacks). Somehow glad that we were corralled into this cafe by the riot police after the clashes between Moroccan and Belgium fans following the World Cup match. It was a pleasant respite away from the chaos ensuing outside.

A cozy little cafe on quiet Place Rouppe next to the renowned Michelin two-starred Comme Chez Soi…read more Cafe Bebo has ten beers on tap (think Westmalle Dubbel, Malheur 10, etc.) and another 70+ to suit all tastes in the bottle (including gluten-free Brunehaut Amber), all at very reasonable prices; 3.50 Euro for almost all drafts and bottles! Even the Trappists like Rochefort 8 are only 3.80! Food is limited to quiche, sausage, and cheese, and be forewarned, they only take cash (a common phenomena in Brussels). A nice jazzy sound-track, and newspapers hanging in holders by the bar add to the appeal. But the best thing about Cafe Bebo? The large outdoor area facing Place Roupe; perfect for a sunny, or (this being Belgium after all) a non-rainy day.

The chalk boards at the far end play host to a good selection of trappist beers, which are mostly bottled. Prices in keeping with everywhere else, service was friendly and efficient. A good little spot if you want to relax and talk over some good beer.

This is one awesome bar in Brussels. Highly recommended if you're looking for a chill local spot…read morewithout a lot of tourists to enjoy some delicious trappist variety beers. The bartenders are extremely friendly, speak English and knowledgable about the types of beers they serve. They only start serving beer at 5 PM the sign said, but we walked in at 4:00 pm and there were plenty of folks already enjoying some beers. The seating is intimate and the lighting is low sometimes especially in the night but it's the perfect place to relax with some delicious beers on tap or in the bottle. They serve Archel and Orval here as well as Westmalle for trappist beers as well as a huge variety of other Belgium delights. Apparently in Europe, people don't tip!

I stayed at the hotel where the restaurant is located and decided to order dessert to take back to…read moremy room. When I went downstairs to finalize my order, I was surprised that my desserts were placed on real plates, and my hot cocoa was served in a regular coffee mug, all arranged on a large tray--despite the order being clearly for takeaway. I immediately told the staff that I could not safely carry a large tray, hot drink, and desserts while also reaching for my room key and operating the elevator. One staff member helped me part of the way, but once I reached my floor, the tray was simply too big and my room door too heavy to manage alone. As a result, I ended up spilling hot chocolate over my desserts while trying to enter my room. I've honestly never experienced a restaurant--especially inside a hotel--that doesn't offer proper takeaway boxes or a coffee cup with a lid for room orders. This could have been easily avoided with basic takeaway packaging. Very disappointing experience for something that should be standard in a hotel setting.
