A tiny, timeworn stamcafé a step from the Bourse — old counter, worn benches, wooden everything — that feels more village bar than big-city pub. Come as you are for a quiet pint or to fall into conversation with strangers, over a well-chosen list of Belgian beers on tap and in bottle, with cheese snacks to match. Prices are refreshingly gentle for the centre of Brussels. An unpretentious local classic.
While you’re in the city, pair it with a Brussels chocolate, beer & waffle tour.
