Planning a visit to the Art & History Museum? Good idea. With its impressive collections, objects from all over the world and majestic architecture, the museum already feels like an invitation to travel… without ever leaving Brussels.
But a great cultural day out is also about what happens before or after the visit. A coffee to start the day, lunch between exhibitions, a comforting afternoon treat, an aperitif to keep the outing going or dinner to chat about everything you’ve just discovered after travelling through the centuries: around Cinquantenaire, there are plenty of opportunities to sit down, raise a glass or simply take your time.
Whether you’re the type to follow a morning museum visit with a good meal, enjoy a tasty break with friends or stop for an impromptu drink at the end of the day, we’ve selected a whole range of places worth discovering in the neighbourhood.
