If you're new to Brussels and are looking for a great if not THE best florist in town, you can't go…read morewrong with Catleya. I have been going there for 15 or so years since living in the neighborhood and it is by far the best florist shop I know of...anywhere. The decor is great, the staff is very helpful and my favorite thing is that as a guy you can go in knowing you're going to get an amazing bouquet regardless of the price. Just tell them your budget, color preference and they do the rest for you. An absolute must if you care about giving someone an amazing bouquet of flowers.

Wandering around the plaza, admiring all these beautiful Gothic buildings, my eyes got fixed into…read morethis beautiful Plant & Fruit stall with a showcase of fascinating array of blooming flowers in all brilliant colors right in the center of the Grand Place. Right next to it is an Art & Paintings Stall..featuring most of the buildings in the Square...... The common Red poppy is the national flower of Belgium and we had passed a whole field of it driving through. It is very attractive as an ornamental plant but also is believed to be a source of both drugs & food, like Poppy Seed for baking. They also have the Perewinkle, Pink with deep purple edges, Lilly of the Valley, Hyacinth, Belgian Mums and the Wild Strawberry. We have almost all of the fruits they have, I think we have more selections here in the US. I don't see them having the Lychees & Dragon Fruit and the Persimmons but their Apricots are sweeter & the color is like deep orange. The Lady Pink apple was also sweet and their champagne Grapes are so delicious. I couldn't help but buy some to munch later in the hotel. Also passed a lot of vineyards along the way. All of the establishment, houses, restaurants, hotels around have a variety of colorful flowering potted plants boxed hanging on all their windows and in their entrances. I take it as a sort of or symbol to welcome people in....probably....at least that was how I interpret it...and the feeling is good...

I am a huge fan of brunch and Oma does brunch fantastically…read more I stayed in an Airbnb just outside of Brussels and the owner of the apartment recommended Oma for weekend brunch and I am so glad that he did. We woke up a little later than planned and hoped that by the time we walked over the place wouldn't be completely full. Thankfully we arrived just in time and were seated right away. The layout of the restaurant is adorable! The wallpapers, lights, tables, and everything else gave the restaurant a laid-back and comfortable vibe. We opted to get the €17 per person brunch buffet. There were cold cuts, cheese platters, yogurt, waffles with butter and jam, salads, pastas, eggs, sausages, soup, desserts, fruits, and much more. The buffet came with your choice of a hot drink (tea, coffee). I thought that everything tasted amazing and it was just a very happy meal. I highly recommend it for brunch in Brussels! The only negative aspect is that it was still hard to justify the price, but it was still worth it!

Had Sunday brunch there today: we were a group of 4. The place itself is lovely and the staff are…read morevery friendly! The food was varied: on the one hand there was the traditional stuff for breakfast (eggs, ham, cheese, bread) and in addition there was a mix of salads/pasta.. These were nice but nothing special (some of them felt like they came out of a tin and were mixed with some herbs/spices) . thats not to say it was a bad culinary experience- no, overall it was fan, but I have eaten better quality food in Brussels. However price- food ratio you really can't complain.
