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.

Brussels is an expensive city for the budget traveler. Besides getting fries and waffle,…read moreeverything else would cost a pretty penny. Don't despair, Carrefour is in town. This is a great market to pick up your water, beer, sauces, chocolate. I was staying nearby at the Dominican and picked up water, chips and several different of Belgian beer for my room. Chimay. Duvel, Westmalle, Rochefort Brewery etc. This is a two story market with narrow aisles. Get lost in the aisles and discover some great Belgium finds.

This store is simply always dirty and half empty. The best thing about the store is that they open…read morepretty much 365 days a year. That's it, other than that it's way under the usual delhaize quality and it lacks a lot of products. Frozen products are sometimes nearly unfrozen as the freezers are realy old and don't seem to work the way they should. If you can, walk 500 more meters, there's another Proxy Delhaize a bit further.

You can find in this supermarket a good choice of beers (eg Chimay) and chocolate (eg Galler) or biscuits (the nice Delacre boxes as in the picture).

Fantastic grocery store in Brussels. I love the ready made food selections, organic yogurts, baked…read moregoods and fresh fruits. They have great deals on items that a jet setter on a budget needs. 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!

TOURIST BEER LOVERS: Go there! They have a large selection of Belgian beers that would cost you…read moretwice as much in a beer shop :) E.g. beers from the Bruxels Beer Project, Delirium and St Bernardus 8 are all between €1.50 and €1.75€ per bottle, vs. a good €3-€3.50 at Beer Planet or De Bier Tempel!! Queue might seem long, but goes pretty fast - don't get dispirited :)

We popped in for a quick bite before grabbing our train out of MIDI. We ordered two sandwiches and…read morealso grabbed a pack of crackers for snacks later. I absolutely cannot believe how in expensive prices are here, our sandwiches were only €2.20 and €2.70 and the crackers only just over €1! It's no wonder the place is busy with a line long enough you need to grab a ticket for service. Our sandwiches were fantastic and filling (I'd say it's just slightly smaller than a Subway "Footlong," if you're coming from the States). We didn't branch out much but if you're looking for special meats or cheeses, you're sure to find what you want with the massive selection they have available. I wish we had found this place before our last day in Brussels!

Oh man, where do I start. Rosario is an institution in Anderlecht. They have been here for as long…read moreas I can remember (which is 6 years). This is a family run business that is best described as an Italian deli, and then some! Every day at lunch their is a queue that goes on forever and you need to pick a number to get served. People oder in their sandwiches days in advance or have a standing order for every day. Yes, it's that kind of place, it's just so good. I tend to avoid the busy lunch period and I visit on my way home from work. They also do Lasagna, tiramisu, pizze, fresh Italian mozzarella, an array of cheeses and charcuterie and also pasta, both fresh and to cook at home. I love this place more than any deli anywhere in the world. Must visit!
