La Canne en Ville
La Canne en Ville is a small restaurant located in an old butcher’s. The menu is limited but lists a couple of great dishes (who needs a menu that reads like a book anyway). I made my reservations via mytable.com
Sounds Jazz Club
Located just off Place Fernand Cocq, Sounds Jazz Club is the place to be in the area if you’re after live music. The small stage has been the scene for some great jazz performers since it opened in 1986. But wether there’s a big name lined up or not, the vibe is always right.
Supra Bailli
A no-nonsense bar on Rue du Bailli, with a nice terrace, cheap drinks and always a good vibe. Crowded on Wednesdays, when the Chatelain market is on.
Stephan Wagner
After years of trusting my hair in the hands of Wakko, I made an appointment with the nearest hairdresser a couple of weeks ago. Bad idea. I left the salon with a colour I didn’t like at all. To get things back to normal, a friend suggested her hairdresser, Stephan Wagner. Now, that was a [...]
Peinture Fraîche

Village Verve
Multi-brand store Village Verve opened a new shop uptown! Think MM6, Kenzo, Sass & Bide, Surface to Air, Dagmar and much more (women’s wear only). You’ll find the shop on Rue du Bailli.

God save the cream
Aha! And then I discovered an English eatery with a little grocery store selling all the best British treats: scones, lemon curd, pies, cider, relish and much more. Oh, and they have bubble and squeak on the menu!
Workshop Café
While Avenue Louise is paved with shops, there aren’t that many spots to grab a bite to eat, drink a decent coffee or chill with some free wifi. Workshop Café is just what the area needed: a very big breakfast, lunch and coffee place.
