Grim Reaper mimes

by Vincent May 9, 2008
written by Vincent

I’ve be happy to spot for the first time today two new Grim Reaper mimes right next to the Manneken Pis statue located at 1 Rue du Chêne. Always nice to see a new act in town especially since these artists are in short number in Brussels.

The Poechenellekelder

by Vincent April 20, 2008
written by Vincent

Just a stone’s throw from the Manneken piss on the corner is where you will find the Poechenellekelder café, or just nicknamed “Poech” for the regulars. This typical Brussels pub with its phenomenal interior decor is one of the most lively in the center during the day and has varied clientele where the locals don’t hesitate to share with the tourists for a chat.

A look from the 1st room near the entrance

You get a feel of rich decor and special atmosphere as soon you enter

Approaching the main room near the bar section

Probably the best spot to enjoy the densely packed interior decoration with its puppets, trumpets, crossbows, beer crates hanging from everywhere.

written by Vincent

The Tintin and Captain Haddock mural located at 37 rue de l’Étuve. The Adventures of Tintin written by Hergé is most certainly the most popular series of comic books that have ever came out of Belgium. The 23 albums written between 1929 and 1983 have sold over 200 million copies worldwide and been published in 50+ languages making it one of the most read of the 20th Century. The comic books feature the adventures of the Globetrotter reporter Tintin and his dog Snowy.

The Adventures of Tintin mural above is located on the street going from the Grand place to the Manneken pis statue.

written by Vincent

La Rose Blanche is a bar restaurant located inside a lovely 17th Century Flemish style building right on the famous Grand Place of Brussels. Hungry for a Duck à la Chouffe, Lamb Filet à la Grimbergen, Salmon à la Faro, Rabbit à la Kriek,…

If the prospects of a good meal with served with a Belgian Accent tempts you, with a view of the worlds most beautiful plaza, just sit right down and choose from a multitude of dishes each more enticing than the other.
