Another very typical, no frills pub with a big terrace, lovely place to sit and watch the passersby. Sometimes there’s a little stand on the terrace with a guy who makes very good shrimp croquettes or fish soup.

The coolest bar in all of Belgium, this classic near the Bourse has to be seen to be believed. Art deco interior with high ceilings, half-moon balcony, pillars to the roof, a piano in the middle and tiny corner bar.
Famous for jazz sessions too, the owner might tell you about the times Miles Davis used to come in and jam.
