Boulangerie Charli

Sometimes while traveling, if you're lucky, you'll find a hidden gem like Tonton Garby…read more My husband and I were heading to Bruges for a day trip, and we wanted to grab something to eat in Brussels before hitting the road. After walking around the main square, we went down a quaint little side street and stumbled upon this unassuming sandwich shop. The owner greeted us out front and told us he wanted to make us the best sandwich we've ever tasted. He said if we didn't like the sandwich, it would be free. We decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad we did. Not only is the owner one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, but his sandwiches are absolutely delicious! I can't even tell you what was in them, but they were incredible. Now every time we're in Brussels, we'll be stopping by Tonton Garby for a friendly visit, and a delicious sandwich.

Took about 30-45 minutes to get my sandwich and there were about only 4 people in front of me. My…read morebrother told me to come try this place out. I can see why it takes so long. The owner is so passionate and friendly and tries to strike up a conversation with every single customer, no matter where they're from. I thought the customer service was next level. As for the sandwich, I want to preface that I don't eat regular sandwiches. I'm super picky and usually just get meat and cheese. NOTHING else. So his sandwiches weren't really my style. They looked very good but I know I wouldn't enjoy it if I just ordered off the menu. He puts a ton of fruits and cheeses into your sandwich and asks a bunch of questions of what you like before putting it together. I went for a blue cheddar cheese and since I wasn't getting anything else, he cut a gigantic chunk for my sandwich. The only downside is I think the only meat he uses is small salami slices. He put in triple the amount he usually puts but the cheese still took over the whole sandwich (I ended up buying more meat from the grocery store to fill it up). Every sandwich he makes is the same price and comes with a drink. I wanna say that his normal sandwiches are probably amazing. Mine was okay after I added all the meat into it. I also didn't eat it right away. But I think the customer service itself should receive 5 stars.

Ah cheese... so delicious…read more On the suggestion of our guidebook, my husband and I stopped here on a sightseeing walk of Brussels to grab lunch. We opted to go with a few slices of cheese and a baguette, and it was so delicious. There is an overwhelming selection of cheese, and we really had no idea where to start selecting cheese to buy. The woman behind the counter picked two cheeses for us, a cow's milk and a sheep's milk cheese. Both were great and we finished them while walking around Brussels. Our lunch was a little pricey, but totally worth it, along with experience of buying local cheese in a lovely setting.

We had grabbed a baguette from Charli and he even let us borrow a knife to cut and spread our cheese while we sat out in the square. We went back again later in the week to try their sandwiches (the sell out so get there early in the lunch hours) and they were great as well. They take credit card so no concerns there either.

The coffee and chocolate croissant were delicious, but my favorite item I tried was their smoked salmon sandwich, with a special cream-cheese spread and sprouts. It was super filling, under 4€, and the perfect lunch to order to-go ("takeaway" as they say) and eat during my train ride. I wish I had known they close early and on weekends just because I would have liked to order another sandwich before leaving! Can't beat the prices, quality, and taste. I just wish they opened later than 3pm!They also have wifi which they will be happy to give you if you ask!

This location is at the center of a lot of the major tourist attractions and is therefore great if you're looking for a quick, on-the-go breakfast or lunch without having to sit down (though that is still an option). Panos is a chain bakery/sandwich shop and was recommended by one of the aunties. Stuff you can find here includes sandwiches, wraps, soups, sweet and savory pastries, individual loaves and rolls, salads, coffee, and hot chocolate. Super basic, but high-quality stuff compared to a lot of other chain bakery places we saw as we traveled through Europe. Some of those sweet pastries were just really fancy looking for what's supposed to apparently be a very basic place, while even the basic stuff tasted really delicious. Their croissants were also super delicious, and I thought the raspberry croissant was particularly interesting. This particular location is on the street branching just off Grote Markt (Grand Place) and just across from the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert's southern entrance. It was near where we were supposed to meet up with our tour group, so we dropped by very quickly to grab some breakfast. My chief memory of that morning was that their waffle honestly made me feel better about the first half of the day.

The thing is that I probably should eat the waffles, but seeing them piled high with delicious cream and a multitude of fruits, they are hard to resist. So, I decided to get one from here. They were too pricey, but the experience wasn't all that great.

So which is it Break Point? When visited the place the first time, I was looking for a place where I could eat pasta: which is incredibly hard in the city center. I ordered the salmon pasta to the kind waitress. My order arrived shortly. I enjoyed it although I had to adjust the spices a bit *I haven't found a restaurant who just gets it right with the spices, why is everyone so afraid of salt?* The interior is very nice, very open with a comfy nook in the back. There's also the possibility to eat outside but it wasn't appealing to me. There's oil on the table (excellent for the pasta). I used the restroom which was modern and very clean; like they all should be, right? Their position is also ideal, it's in one of the side streets of Anspach. I recommend the place if you're looking for a quick bite to fill a hungry stomach.

There's an option to pick a box or tin and fill it the cookies of your choice. The waffles themselves are something I can make at home and save the €15. I ordered the basic powdered sugar waffle, liege style. My husband ordered the Belgian style waffle which was topped with macerated strawberries and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Again, the waffle and strawberries weren't warm so it was like eating a dry stale cold waffle with cold strawberries and a scoop of ice cream. Disappointing to say the least. I'd pass on this place and stick with the street vendors where you can watch them make it in front of your eyes and served warm.
