Grocery store NEXT to the hotel! What a convenience. If you're staying at the Van der Valk hotel,…read moreright next door (and depending on your room, right outside with it's powerful lights shining through your window) is the store! It has everything you'll need and expect in a grocery store. Highlights include some LOCAL chocolate, wine & beer, plenty of snacks, and of course water for your excursions. Friendly staff, but I didn't find any English speakers so be ready to find your own way. Reminder: Like a lot of places in Belgium, they do not provide bags for anything your purchase. So bring your own, buy one there, or be prepared to hand carry your purchases to the car.

Ice cream is delicious and made in house, chocolate pralines made in house, waffles or crepes made in house. The owner is very friendly and inviting. He speaks English well as does much of his staff. There is a courtyard/garden for outside eating on nice summer days. They sell ice cream by the half liter as well. Great to stop in for tea and coffee with friends. I highly recommend. Not many places as good as this. Price for ice cream is fair. Crepes, waffles, and chocolate are much higher.

It's a very "bio" place and of course bio usually means that they will charge you more than if it was non-bio. But for those who have a conscious about destroying the planet and causing tsunamis and earthquakes because of spraying pesticides on crops, well this is the place to go! I do like the place though and it ain't half bad! I remember going to this one last year when meeting a friend there. I ordered a large coffee and it was so large that it was served in what looked more like a cereal bowl than it did a cup. I looked at the menu when there yesterday and that big cuppa set me back 3.60 Euros. But that isn't a bad price. Also on the menu were lots of desserts, which is the places main business since it has "bread" in the name of the cafe. You can get a tartelette of lemon, caramel or strawberry for just under 5 Euro. I ordered a beer, a bio pils for 2.60. It was a local beer, from the town of Silly and the bottle held 25cl. This really isn't too much more than a decent Belgian lager/pils. To eat, I got a "poulet fume" with a bunch of dressing and zuccini on it. It was basically a couple of open faced sandwiches but oh so good. There is virgin olive oil and Atlantic salt and (not sure where from) pepper on the table to douce your food. My girlfriend had a cappuccino and a beef sandwich, pretty similar to the style of mine. The beef was raw mince meat. I know that filet americain is raw beef but this was a new one on me. Before we left, we took a couple pastries to go (and eat in the cinema across the grand place). The total bill came to something like 35 Euro. It sounds pretty expensive for a couple sandwiches, pastries and drinks but I think it was worth it. The place is very clean, cozy and for the ladies, my girlfriend said that they're probably the cleanest toilets that she has found in Belgium!

We stopped in Brussels on a hot day and this was #4 of our chocolate places.
