Title: Brussels (Not the sprouts)
Post by: Welling Rover on November 12, 2014, 03:45:16 pm: Off to Brussels for a couple of nights in three weeks time.
Anyone recommend a good bar and a restaurant that's not too far from the Grand Place.
Thanks

Allways slice a slight X into the the top or Bottom of each
One before you put them onto boil.

Take my Word they will taste a lot better

My tip don't bother checking out the Mannekin Pis - its tiny and not worth wasting valuable drinking time to see !

4 of us followed the signs to eventually find it and almost in unison we all said "is that IT"

Post by: idler on November 15, 2014, 04:37:14 am: Went for Brunch in the Belgian cafe in Dubai yesterday.
Leffe brun & blonde, Hoegardens and Kriek cherry beer all on draught plus Duvel. Chimay etc in bottles.
It was spot on but too warm to sit outside for too long.
:blink:
