Get just far away enough from the tourist hordes surrounding Grand Place...take a healthy 1km walk over to the charming and local Sainte Catherine area of Brussels...there you'll find the bars, restaurants, and shops where the locals frequent, including ViaVia.
My friends and I were the only ones speaking English while enjoying Belgium's delicious craft beers in the spacious, industrious, clean and modern environment. The staff speaks English decently, and are friendly enough...just don't be a beer snob asking a dozen questions in English, and the lovely Belgianettes will serve with a smile. The bar itself has a nice variety of beers on draft, and a seemingly infinite menu of bottled beers...priced between €3-8 for a draft, or €20+ for one of the rare bottles...enjoy! read more
