    Thirsty? Make sure to stop at Le Cirio, have an half-en-half (half wine, half sparkling wine) and admire the beautiful art nouveau interior. Even the toilets are worth checking out! A BXL classic!

    Great and authentic place for a drink and some Belgian specialities; irregular service and waiters with an attitude. Terrace "m'as-tu vu", larger in summer when the sun shows up!

    Try Carbonade (Flemish stew), it is one of the best meals I've ever had. You won't regret. Plus, ask for the special half cava-half sparkling wine drink.

    Great spot for a drink in the centre of Brussels (adjacent to the Bourse). This place is full of history. Try the house specialty: half & half. Open late.

    Very stylish.....more like a museum 😂 but 'half and half' puts you in the mood 😜😂

    The "Belgian Specialty" dish Waterzooi (chicken stew) is absolutely delicious, especially on a cold day!

    It is a very old and traditional cafe close to the centre. The food menu for tourists can be limited but drinking options were immense.

    Nice sitting-outside-and-having-a-drink spot. You even get a nice little bowl of crunchies. But no bar service.

    Nice location for quick lunch stop during sightseeing. Nice interior in old style. The service was anyway slow and inattentive.

    Wonderful Art Nouveau decoration in this authentic and smokefree pub. But beware: you have to buy 1 drink per hour.

    A mille lieues des attrape-touristes de l'Îlot Sacré, une authentique brasserie bruxelloise au charme préservé. Les toilettes à elles seules valent le détour! Service impeccable.

    Nog steeds mijn favoriete koffie-plek in het centrum van Brussel, maar kennis van het Nederlands is ook nog steeds deplorabel.

    Commandez un Half 'n Half! Passez egalement aux toilettes des hommes: les faiences des urinoires valent le detour.
