If you are grabbing quick bites, I recommend non-Carrefour brand prepped cold sandwiches if are not looking for just the cheapest thing there. Their hot food, I would pass.

It's now going to be my favorite place to go when I go to Belgium. The cheap prices really helped out to even my travel expenditures. Be sure to bring your own baggie! They charge .5 cents for a plastic grocery bag. Cheers!

Queue might seem long, but goes pretty fast - don't get dispirited :)

My "local" grocery store while staying around the corner of Place Jourdain. It's pretty standard,…read moremuch bigger than it looks from the outside, standard pricing. Lots of organic, gluten and grain free options, but at a fraction of the price of the organic/bio street across the way. Do I love it here? No. It's crowded, always busy, lineups (although they do open more tills regularly). Let much every time I've been in here though, the lineups expend down the aisles and you can't get from point A to B. Claustrophobic? Don't come here. The staff rarely say two words to me, even when one of my cards didn't work. I replied in French, but, they pretended not to understand me. I'm aware she understood, she just didn't like that I was holding up the line. That's cool. Just know you don't need to speak French here, even though few of the staff seem to speak English. Do I love it here? No. It's pretty chaotic, empty shelves often, things will be in two, sometimes three different places (like pickles). But they've got great hours, they're relatively inexpensive for Brussels, and they carry more than enough to get a meal going. Plus, they're clean... Unlike one of the big box grocery stores nearby that I walked into and promptly walked out of.

They have a variety of other items and it seemed like a lot of people were ordering the sandwiches. They'll also warm it up for you, if you ask. We randomly found this spot on our last day of Brussels but if we knew about it earlier, we for sure would have gone here for breakfast a few times.

This location is at the center of a lot of the major tourist attractions and is therefore great if you're looking for a quick, on-the-go breakfast or lunch without having to sit down (though that is still an option). Panos is a chain bakery/sandwich shop and was recommended by one of the aunties. Stuff you can find here includes sandwiches, wraps, soups, sweet and savory pastries, individual loaves and rolls, salads, coffee, and hot chocolate. Super basic, but high-quality stuff compared to a lot of other chain bakery places we saw as we traveled through Europe. Some of those sweet pastries were just really fancy looking for what's supposed to apparently be a very basic place, while even the basic stuff tasted really delicious. Their croissants were also super delicious, and I thought the raspberry croissant was particularly interesting. This particular location is on the street branching just off Grote Markt (Grand Place) and just across from the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert's southern entrance. It was near where we were supposed to meet up with our tour group, so we dropped by very quickly to grab some breakfast. My chief memory of that morning was that their waffle honestly made me feel better about the first half of the day.
