Essentials

It's quite rare in Brussels to have a supermarket opened late in the evening or in the weekend. This one is more than decent and is open Mo-Fri 10-21 Sat-Sun 10-20

Sightseeing

It's free to climb to the terrace of the Arcades du Cinquantenaire for breathtaking views of Brussels (on sunny days) and great photo ops. The Parc is also great for jogging.

Drinks & Nightlife

The liveliest place in the neighbourhood, with stores, pubs and restaurants catering mostly to expats and tourists. Great farmer's market on Sundays!

Have a beer and have a batter look at the entrance to the European Parliament. Don't go around 5-7pm on a work day as the place gets (way too) crowded with EU officials.

Food Scene

My fav restaurant in Place Jourdan. It looks and feels rather unremarkable (it took me a while to try it) but everything I ate there (incl. deserts) was incredibly well cooked. Highly recommend it.
