I love Brewdog beers, and they are hard to find in the US, so while visiting the beer capital of…read morethe world (Brussels) I nevertheless decided to try beer from Scotland. The place is located right where all the tourist activities start on the outskirts of the old town. Restaurant is large, with variety of tables and booth spread out all over the place. I was in the mood for the dark beer, so first I had Cake Cartel Porter which was amazing, and next I had Alice Porter which was excellent but a lot more dry than the first one, so it would be better to drink them in the reverse order. Before I talk about food I need to talk about service. This is where Brewdog instantly loses all the points. I got my first beer quickly, but then nobody was coming to get the next beer or order food. Waitstaff doesn't wear any specific uniforms so it is impossible to even wave at someone. Finally I got someone to stop by and orders second beer and the burger. Whomever took my order didn't even care to explain that the burger would come without any fries or any side. The burger was tasty, but the overall experience was definitely subpar thanks to the dismal service. This place is still recommended (good beers), but maybe just sit at the bar...

This is one awesome bar in Brussels. Highly recommended if you're looking for a chill local spot…read morewithout a lot of tourists to enjoy some delicious trappist variety beers. The bartenders are extremely friendly, speak English and knowledgable about the types of beers they serve. They only start serving beer at 5 PM the sign said, but we walked in at 4:00 pm and there were plenty of folks already enjoying some beers. The seating is intimate and the lighting is low sometimes especially in the night but it's the perfect place to relax with some delicious beers on tap or in the bottle. They serve Archel and Orval here as well as Westmalle for trappist beers as well as a huge variety of other Belgium delights. Apparently in Europe, people don't tip!

For example, you could spend maybe 2-3 more euros on a beer here than one of comparable type at another, but they have an impressive beer menu. It's also not as obvious as other bars/pubs in the center, which is kinda cool. They also serve food here, which we did not try. I thought it was a fun spot, but if you're on a budget (or a student like me), it might be better to get your Belgian beer fix elsewhere.

La Brocante is a traditional Brussels cafe with a jazz soundtrack that opens super early (around…read more5am!) to serve the vendors and customers of the neighboring 7-day a week flea market. But cafe's in Brussels are a dime a dozen. What sets La Brocante apart (aside from having some of the best people watching in town), is one of the best selections of Gueuze and lambic beers in town; some 30 by my last count with the likes of Cantillon, Hansens, 3 Fonteinen and Tilquin. If lambics aren't your thing, they have another 70 or so Belgian bottled beers, including running the gamut from pilsner to imperial stout. If that was not enough to make you want to stop by, they also have a great outdoor seating area next to a fountain that serves as a venue for impromptu weekend concerts as well as some of the best people watching in town. Food is your typical Belgian cafe stuff: pasta, omelettes, sandwiches, and carbonade, but well prepared and in large portions. On the downside, because of the early opening hours, they close rather early, usually between 6 and 7pm, depending on the whims of the staff, And note: it's cash only.

If you're not situated on the outdoor terrace to watch the world pass on by, then they have plenty of cozy seating inside in the form of bench tops. A couple of TV's scattered about which are guaranteed to be showing a football or rugby match. Food is limited and consists of cheese, bread, and sausages (snacks). Somehow glad that we were corralled into this cafe by the riot police after the clashes between Moroccan and Belgium fans following the World Cup match. It was a pleasant respite away from the chaos ensuing outside.

Even the Trappists like Rochefort 8 are only 3.80! Food is limited to quiche, sausage, and cheese, and be forewarned, they only take cash (a common phenomena in Brussels). A nice jazzy sound-track, and newspapers hanging in holders by the bar add to the appeal. But the best thing about Cafe Bebo? The large outdoor area facing Place Roupe; perfect for a sunny, or (this being Belgium after all) a non-rainy day.

We took a seat at a high top in their super cute courtyard and waited for our server. He stopped by and collected our order....sort of. Since the kitchen was closed, we opted for their burrata salad and an order of hummus. We also got a delicious gin and tonic and a Ginette beer (first time!). I asked for their WiFi password to which I was told 'sorry' since their bandwidth was slow and they needed it to run credit cards. Whomp whomp. After the salad, we were still waiting for the hummus, which never came, but overall the food was delsih. Overall, I'd say this place is more of an experience of old Brussels rather than a foodie destination. If you need to rest your feet and have a beer, this place is just fine.
