Anyway back to the food which I have to say was a delight after all the tourist joints in and around the Grand Place, Brussels. The bread is superb and not only does it look good but I'm pleased to report that it tastes good. Seating is cramped sit in the outside if tables available. The staff are helpful and the menu is straight forward and available in several languages. A mix of salads and quiche main courses with simple but delicious desserts which are on display in the shop window. Even though it was packed you didn't feel that you had to give up your table as soon as the last gulp of espresso went down. Well worth a visit!

I struggle to define Au Pain Quotidien (very roughly translated as The Daily Bread), because it's a…read morebakery chain-cum-cafe-cum-coffee-shop. It's the sort of place everybody loves to have around the corner on a Sunday, so you can throw some clothes on, mosey up, buy a newspaper, sit down and order some food and a fruit juice, then buy bread and some cakes to take away to eat later at home. It's a large chain of Belgian cafes with one key feature - the scrubbed pine tables. There are usually some small individual tables, but if you're on your own and fancy sharing elbow space with others, pull up a stool to the big scrubbed pine table. There's no absolute guarantee someone will talk to you, but it does give the place a very friendly and companionable feel. And the food is wonderful, and inexpensive - big hunks of quiche, the best bread you've ever tasted and elaborate little chocolate and gold cakes can all be yours for under EUR15. And thank heaven there are some branches creeping into London, else I'd be properly homesick for Brussels!

Great burger place! The vegetarian burgers are very good!…read moreThe nut burger (You must be nuts) is delicious! I also tried the chickpea burger (Way to veggy) homemade. Very tasty. Nice terrasse next to the cathedral. The staff is not very friendly though! Prices are fair. Nice selection of local beers like Maneblusser, Carolus, Steenbrugge, etc. Homemade lemonade abd ice tea. The fries were not great. Side salad is ok.

Unfortunately, the place was gone so we started looking for a lunch place and came across De Kolvenier. It was a nice surprise since the disappointment of the fries place not being around, we didn't expect much. We had their grilled cheese sandwich and a tuna salad baguette. Both were tasty! The nicer surprise was the pannenkoek special starting at 2pm during the week. You get two pannenkoeken with a coffee or tea for 5€. You can't beat that and it was lekker!
