I’ve always loved strolling through the Sablon. Its beautiful Brussels townhouses, appealing shop windows, high-quality products, art galleries and antique dealers, and the charming hidden alleyways… all of this gives the neighbourhood its undeniable allure. Here are a few suggestions of shops to visit during your next escape to the Sablon.
The Sablon has long been a landmark in Europe for art and history lovers. The district is home to more than fifty high-quality art galleries and antique dealers showcasing modern and contemporary art as well as precious antiques. It’s no coincidence that the Brussels Art Square has taken place here for the past 20 years, an annual event that attracts art and history enthusiasts to Brussels.
Discover a selection here — but the best way remains to wander through the district, soak up the atmosphere and uncover these authentic treasures for yourself.
The Sablon is also a true haven for gourmets of all kinds. From traditional restaurants to cosy neighbourhood eateries and world cuisine on Rue de Rollebeek, you’ll discover new culinary gems with every visit.
Don’t forget the delicious speciality shops: chocolatiers, biscuits, ice cream… Perfect to take home or offer as a gift.
The Sablon is also the ideal place to treat yourself to beautiful wardrobe pieces. Quality clothing, accessories that elevate your outfit, and for special occasions, high-end jewellery.
The district wouldn’t be truly authentic without a festive side. Every Thursday, the Sablon Square hosts an afterwork gathering — and if you want to keep the night going, you’ll find several great places nearby.
