A very pleasant discovery, in the busy area of the Sablon area: a tiny delicatessen shop, with…read moreseveral prepared dishes and food. Not everything is home made, but everything is fresh, of good quality.There is also outside 3 small tables with a seating capacity of 2 each, so limited seats but nicely set-up. This is great to make a quick lunch stop or with an hungry stomach anytime during the week (except monday) and on saturday. The place is open until 7 pm. A full and well-garnished dish with several salads, risotto, cooked mushroom and vegetables cost me around 15 € (without any drink).

Inside it is clean with very helpful service and pretty well stocked with Scandinavian, English and Irish foods. My happiness was complete when I discovered that not only did they stock Irish Soda bread, but the upstairs has English books! It was a little expensive price wise but I guess to be expected because of the location and also because the goods are imported. I purchased some herring, veg hash and a green frosted princess cake to try. My other purchases were Irish cheese and pork sausages and the bill was €32. All the produce at this shop had respectable end dates (I have been to some shops that still have foods with expired dates sitting on their shelves, which I then purchased not realizing, only to come home and throw the food away, so always check now). Will definitely be back for the soda bread and delighted to find a place that stocks it in Brussels!

Was happy to return 3 more times during our stay.
