An absolute must on any visit to Brussels. My son recently teased me about an Easter basket and I…read moreneeded to remind him, I literally flew to Belgium to secure Easter chocolates from at least 7 different Belgium chocolatiers to prep his Easter gifts this year. If that doesn't keep me out of a nursing home, I don't know what will! Bestie and I finished our morning waffles and the chocolate shopping began. We went in every single shop and others around town. Thank goodness for cool temps because we had so many treats! This is a beautiful area to spend some time. We left with an extremely robust selection. A couple of my Easter bunny's from Mary's broke in transit back to the states but most everything else remained in tack. I loved admiring all of the store fronts decorated for Easter.

It's so gorgeous inside that it's definitely worth a stop! It's even more beautiful than the…read morepictures. It's pretty large and there's three shopping arcades with a good variety of shops. I didn't end up buying anything since I was leaving Brussels that day and didn't want to lug more around but still enjoyed looking around and walking through it.

A great selection of vintage coats, bags, pins, & toys, but I felt so unwelcome and the man even slammed the door on my way out. Not sure if the word "browsing" was lost in translation (I was preparing to spend a bit of $ on Xmas gifts for my daughter and daughter in law) or maybe my skin was not the right colour?...Very disappointing!

Some nice finds in this shop but I would never chose to support it due to it's owner. Incredibly…read morerude man for absolutely not reason. Pure attitude. It's a vintage shop not the louvre - lighten up and be nicer to people. Worth to note, during our visit the entire shop smelled rather sour. Would be wise to check goods before purchase as it could be mold affecting the old clothes.

I do like this place. The ambience is great, very…read moreimaginative decor and quite a nice playlist On the café side, I must say I am a bit disappointed. The menu is quite plain, and I still haven't figured out how to order in the appropriate place. Seating is challenging... not the first time I walk in, take a seat and turns out the table is reserved (and no sign of said reservation in plain sight... must be a code...). Service is often disappointing in Brussels... For those like me that come for some good food, a bit of peace and quiet under good music, it's a nice place.

Extra points because there's cava on the menu :-)…read more I cannot tell anything about the food yet, but the drinks are fine. I love the interior - luckily, as it's an interior shop as well - and the public is mixed. Old people, young people, hipsters, not so hipsters (us) and families. A nice discovery.

Love the variety of shops but the American in me really really really despises the fact that I have…read moreto pay for parking to shop!! And it's not like the parking is cheap either!!! I am super grateful there is a Pierre Marcolini shop located here because I adore his chocolates but it does slightly hit the wallet. There's also a good cheese shop and I hit up Di for girly stuff at the same time. I haven't had much luck with the bread shop so tend to avoid it. There's also a C&A (similar to Macy's or JC Penney) which has great bargains from time to time. The one store I hate to shop at here is Proximus - don't get me wrong, am very glad it's here but the lines are so long, they either need to staff up, or expand store footage or have more seating. The people at the help desk (located in the middle of the mall) are always very friendly and there's always some sort of goodies available. Also suggest that you go thru mall magazine (also found at the help desk) because sometimes there are great coupons and deals to be found!

Mall is pretty new and very warm. There are so many stores and some of them has pretty good deals…read more Since we are in Brussels I thought so many people would know English but I was particularly wrong. Before go to shopping just study little bit of french and you will be fine. Parking is a hassle but it's not that bad Be ready to pay for the restroom. I know its weird but it's it what it is :/

Not sure the facination with the Agora Gallery but we were told to check it out while in Brussels…read more I can only explain this area as an indoor flea market. As you walk through the hallways you will be confronted by many men trying to sell you their clothing or jewelry. They are not aggressive although they do not enjoy the answer NO. Toward the rear of the gallery, you will smell the strong odor of apoxy. At this point, you will know that you have entered the China market section, full of nail salons with women approaching my wife for manni - pedis. It was an experience, but not sure if the clothing or jewelry are well made, but the nail salons seem legit.

I was walking around with my significant other and I discovered this quirky place…read more We walked inside and there was a lot to see. We walked around to see what caught our attention. Our first stop was Beauty nails. I got a Manucure for 10€. It was a Manicure. I also got a Pédicure esthétique Homme for 25€. It was an Esthetic pedicure. I was guided to the chair for the Pédicure first. Unfortunately, I was soaking in the water for quite some time before being served. The Pédicure ended up being pretty bad. I was seated for the Manucure right after. It was sloppy throughout the service and ended up being worse than the Pédicure. Our next and last stop was a shop called GIFT STORE BRUSSELS. We walked inside. There was a variety of items. I got a keychain. It was 1€3. I also got a sweatshirt. It was 27.00€. I was happy with my items. The service throughout my time here was efficient and friendly. I didn't have any issues. Overall, I had a decent time here and it was worth the stop. Date of visit: 05/04/2025

I usually never write reviews, but as to what happened to methis week in this store, I have no…read morechoice but to write this. I've shopped a lot in Hunting and Collecting before. They aren't the most friendly staff, but they always had good pieces from my favorite brands and especially Yeezys which you can only buy here around Brussels. So two days ago I went in to help find my sister-in-law a sweater for my brother as Christmas gift. I was looking around and found two pieces that he would really love so I took pictures to send to her for approval. Well while I was taking them, the sales associate (the girl with dark hair) kept looking at me with this attitude and 'what are you doing' face. I was like ok, nevermind I'll probably buy them so I didn't see the problem. While they at least should recognize me because I go in quite often and mostly also BUY! Then I looked at her and she stared at me doing this weird eye-contest of who has the best 'bitch look'. I asked her 'does it disturb you if I take a picture for my brother, he'd like it!' And she answered: 'well, you better ask first' with a horrible attitude. Is she delusional thinking that I would still buy something there after being threated like this? I immediately left. They just lost a loyal customer and I'll spread the word about how bad my last experience was. What you should realize: if you want your physical retail store to survive e-commerce, then make it a fun and positive experience for your customers so that they'd love to come back over online shopping. Well, I ordered the sweaters online and they are under the Christmas tree now! I got what I needed, but they lost a sale of €500. Too bad

Very curated and artsy fartsy store. Selection is good but odd - a mix between designer brands and…read moretopshop items. There are things for both men, women and kids. It's kind of in the range between high street and boutique, and the prices are 100+ euros. Basically, don't go in here unless you got money to burn.

Home of a wonderful antique market on Saturdays where you can find anything from an ornate liquor box to plain postcards. It's well worth a stroll through & a browse. It is also home to permanent antique shops where you may need to be lubed up, in order to fit through the aisles crammed with antiques. Passion Chocolates also has a store here with one of the sweetest salesgirls I've ever met. A short walk from both Louise & the Grande Place. It's a must place to visit for both tourists & locals.
