Have you ever wondered where the best place to live in Brussels is? Today, the team shares their favourite neighbourhoods, along with some great places to discover!

The Châtelain neighbourhood – according to Marie.

The Châtelain neighbourhood has become one of the trendiest in Brussels. Located between Chaussée de Waterloo, Chaussée de Charleroi, Chaussée de Vleurgat and Avenue Louise, this neighbourhood is home to many places that we will share with you throughout this article. When it comes to restaurants, why not try Ötap and its unique Thursday evening menu, tried and enthusiastically approved by Marie! For drinks and a bite to eat in a friendly atmosphere, head to Djo; if you enjoy wine, make your way to la Trinquette for its wine of the month and mixed sharing platters. To finish on an indulgent Portuguese note, head to Forcado, whose Pasteis de Nata are sure to win you over. Enjoy them in the beautiful Forest and Duden parks. Looking for a gift? Marie recommends the shop Hopono.

Flagey – according to Estelle.

The Flagey neighbourhood is attracting more and more people and has become a must for young people. A truly vibrant place to live, Place Flagey boasts numerous restaurants and bars; Estelle recommends Le Belga, a very popular café on the square. For food, you can try Cocina for pasta. If you are a fan of good pizza, head to MiTo and enjoy a refreshing Aperol with your meal. When the weather is fine, opt for an impromptu picnic beside the Ixelles Ponds.

Chant d’Oiseau – according to John.

The Chant d’Oiseau neighbourhood is a little slice of paradise for families with children who are looking for peace and quiet. Close to numerous shops, good schools, parks and the Sonian Forest, this neighbourhood is very well served by public transport and major roads. If John had one place to recommend, it would undoubtedly be the butcher’s and delicatessen Peter en Sabine. According to him, the dishes are delicious, as is the filet américain. You can also find excellent Wignac !

Dansaert – according to Antoine.

Just a stone’s throw from Place Sainte-Catherine and behind the Bourse district, Dansaert is Brussels’ artistic neighbourhood par excellence. Located right in the city centre, Antoine recommends several places to try, including Le Monk for its delicious spaghetti bolognese. For something more unusual, head to the Ethiopian restaurant le Toukoul. For drinks on a terrace, we suggest le Walvis beside the canal. Finally, for the partygoers among you, head to Madame Moustache for what promises to be a great night out!

Merode – according to Alexandre.

Very close to Cinquantenaire Park and within easy reach of public transport, Merode is a vibrant neighbourhood with many excellent places to discover. If you are looking for somewhere to eat, Alexandre invites you to try Jardin de Nicolas and le Coach where you can enjoy a wide variety of delicious fast food. For a drink, we recommend the Corner Bar or the Shaker Bar.
