Why does this place have low stars? I popped in not expecting it to be great because it's on the…read morecorner of a tourist hub. I was surprised that 1) the mussels and fries was only 15€, 2) the interior was super fancy and nice and 3) the service was so good. I really wanted this well known Belgian dish and for 15 euro felt like that was pretty low, the serving was massive. I was pretty full halfway through the amount of mussels on my plate. They were seasoned lightly with onion, celery and I believe leek, the taste of the mussel really shined. The fries were a bit bland but they were fluffy on the inside, a touch of salt and pepper went on a long way. Service was top notch, super attentive without being overbearing and just pleasant. The only downside is that I received my change...in all .10 coins.

Heard Miles horn breaking in and out of this place, looked in window to see instruments then folks siting in red cloaked chairs with matching walls and drapes. We were greeted with "yes we have live music tonight. You can catch the last set." A very cute staff member took our cover and seated us in the way back. Great perspective on the entire place and a decent view of the stage. On tonight, Kim Versteynen and her group Kim in the middle debuting their new release. Another cute waitress took our drink order and we settled in. Very classy upscale place. Any place supporting live jazz has a warm spot in my heart. Intimate, dimly lite with a huge bar opposite the stage. Kim a Belgium native shocked the both of us with her warm earthy soulful voice. We appreciated her entertaining us for an hour and a half with encore. Not sure what's coming next but considering this is literally a block from the square, I'll be back!

Ridiculous- made a reservation and got there 30 min before they opened to outside and got a…read moreTERRIBLE blocked from stage table and at 8:15 they started seating people in front of us. We even asked if we could pay additional to sit closer to stage at all these empty tables and they said No - they were reserved. Not sure how this is supposed to work but so far we're VERY disappointed in this venue. At least the beer is cheap but look at this view! At least musicians were good but people behind me talked the whole show. Not sure it's worth the hassle of bad seats. We'll pick elsewhere next time.

The various sculptures and fountains had me in awe. I noticed there was a strong affiliattion for koi fish at each one. After some sleuthing it was apparent that artists in Belgium also saw koi fish as a sign of good luck. We accessed Botanique by strolling the adjacent park close to our hotel and it made for a wonderful morning. There are plenty of benches and of course you can hang out on the steps of the Botanique. I felt like I was on an international episode of Gossip Girl tbh #IYKYK.

It's basically a big garden with a greenhouse and fountain at the end. It's a bit far from the city centre so if you're a tourist just looking for things to do, you can probably skip it. I have a feeling it's more for locals to get away from the noise of the city.

There are shops in the day time which seem to sell art or jewellery and in the evening the place transforms into a cool bar with a dj, funky beats and a beautiful crowd. It's very central so make sure you pay a visit if you are in the area!
