Gay Friendly Restaurants
- Belgian cuisine is world famous and brussels gastronomy. It has a long history with deep-rooted traditions, quality produce and bold flavours. You can experience so many different tastes in an afternoon. Enjoy delicious street food, shop ‘til you drop for chocolate or sip an afternoon beer in one of the many famous squares across the city.
- For lunch, head to Place Sainte-Catherine, the city’s former fish market, packed with excellent seafood eateries.
- For something lighter, Como Como serves tapas from a conveyor belt, sushi-style.
- Bia Mara has transformed the simple Fish and Chips to new levels by using the freshest fish available and coating it in different flavors.
- Los Churros is the place to go for a Belgian waffle, or a gaufre as they’re locally known!
- Maison Antoine is home to the “French Fry”, a Belgian invention. They have some of the best.
- In the 17th century, “moules” were still known as “mouscles”, hence the name of the classic dish “mouclade”. Try them at Chez Léon.
- Push the boat out at dinner at the luxe Belga Queen.
A Chocoholic’s Paradise.
- One of Belgium’s most sought-after chocolatiers is an Australian. Paul Stevenson, who grew up in Queensland, is the two-time Belgian Chocolate Master. Sample his wares by dropping into his place of work – the Le Saint-Aulaye patisserie.
- Chocolate is undoubtedly the best-known and most-exported gourmet product. Neatly arranged in ballotin boxes, pralines (invented in Brussels) are true jewels. World-renowned chocolatiers like Frédéric Blondeel, Godiva, Laurent Gerbaud, Mary, Neuhaus, Pierre Marcolini and Wittamer have stores in the Galeries de la Reine, around the Sablon and elsewhere.
- Several places, such as Belgian Chocolate Village and Choco-Story Brussels, are devoted to the discovery of chocolate.
Belgian Beer
Beer is the favourite beverage of Brussels citizens and its visitors. From casks or bottles, it flows by the gallon. It may be natural or perfumed, simple or sophisticated.
Today, several well-known brewers continue to produce in the region: Brasserie Cantillon is known all over the world. Brasserie de la Senne, the Brussels Beer Project and En Stoemelings are all worth sampling.
Every year, during Beer Weekend, the Grand-Place and its surrounding area are the scene of tastings of the best of Belgian beer.
Belgian Fries
Frites stalls, also called friteries, or fritkots in Brussels parlance, fill street corners, squares and fairs with their delicious smell. There are some stand-out stalls such as the friteries on the Place Jourdan, the Place Flagey and the Place de la Chapelle.
Noordzee/Mer Du Nord is a kind of street food stall, almost-deli, somewhat al-fresco restaurant that specialises in small plates of seafood. Dishes are cooked to order, served with fresh bread, side salad and simple glasses of wine.
Customers descend upon two counters surrounding the fish shop for hot and cold plates of exceptionally cooked seafood. The restaurant is always busy, but highly recommended by both locals and visitors.
Exploring Further
Rue Dansaert is a top destination for shoppers that are looking for boutiques hosted by Belgian designers and top level retail shops.
Just a stone’s throw away from the gay district, head for Rue Dansaert and its adjacent alleyways. A focal point for fashion and design, the Dansaert neighbourhood is a must-see destination, an inspiring tour of the many facets of Belgium’s rich and original artistic talent.
Uptown Brussels and its heeled-up streets and alleyways makes you feel equally welcome. Avenue Louise and Place du Châtelain spoil you with the very best Brussels has to offer: upmarket, prestige and luxury brands galore.
In the prestigious setting of the Etangs d’Ixelles, the rather bohemian bourgeois Flagey neighbourhood is a hotbed of diversity that resonates with the tempo of a location brimming with life. Trendy restaurants and bars offer relaxation, bonhomie and global gourmet cuisine, all within a remarkable architectural setting.
A short distance away, in the European district, Place du Luxembourg, a favourite after-hours haunt for young expats, is calling. Thursday night sees the square rammed with a cosmopolitan and cheerful crowd.
What to See and Do in Gay Brussels?
Follow in the footsteps of perennial comic book twink Tintin of feast on Art Nouveau architecture of Victor Horta. Brussels is a treasure trove of things to do!
Take a rapid ride at the quasi-futuristic Atomium.
Brussels grandest display of this optimism is the city’s towering Atomium, looming large over parts of the skyline.
The Atomium is a shiny, aluminum, sci-fi wet dream come to life. Composed of nine spheres connected by shafts and held up by girders, it’s the atomic shape of an iron crystal blown up 165 billion times.
The display was built for the 1958 World’s Fair in the spirit of a peaceful atomic age. It was to represent an “optimistic vision of the future of a modern, new, super-technological world for a better life for mankind.”
Expected to be torn down at the end of the exposition, people liked it so much, it remained. It has become a favourite of locals and tourists alike. At the top of the building is a restaurant with a 360-degree view of the city.
Comic Book Central
Brussels is the comic-book capital of the world. There are comic-book shops seemingly around every turn, and it’s hard not to put a queer spin on Belgium’s comic-strip exports, from preppy boy Tintin to ginger hero Spirou,to the Smurfs’ fraternal (and perpetually shirtless) mushroom village, with drag queen Smurfette!
Comic murals and giant statues are dotted across the city. Don’t miss the Comic Strip Center, both for the content and the beautifully restored Horta building, housing a collection of artwork and life-sized statues. And, if you’re a Tintin fan, the Hergé Museum is a short train ride from Brussels.
Dining on a Tram
The city has transformed one of its trams into a gourmet delight. The Tram Experience was a hit of Brusselicious, and now it’s back with Michelin-starred chefs from across the city. The jerkiness of the tram takes a bit of getting used to, but this eases off by the first course.
Statues Everywhere
The city’s most iconic statues are a playful reflection of the people’s irreverent spirit. The centuries-old Manneken Pis (literally “little man pee”) draws huge crowds of tourists to the corner of Rue de l’Étuve and Rue du Chêne (a couple minutes’ walk from the Grand Place).
There are also two lesser-known peeing statues. One is of a little girl, Jeanneke Pis, erected in 1987 at the dead end of Impasse de la Fidelité,. The other is the peeing dog, Zinneke Pis, erected in the late 1990s. It is a must-visit for dog lovers!
Architectural Gems
Don’t forget to look around and take in the stunning architecture of the city. Numerous examples of Art Deco and Art Nouveau architecture are open to the public all over town today, including the Maison Autrique, the Fine Arts Museum (Palais des Beaux Arts), the David and Alice Van Buuren Museum and Gardens, and the Villa Empain. Take the hop on, hop off tour bus to see all the sights.
Shopping in Gay Brussels
Combine luxury shopping and dining by searching for the best food to bring home! Chocolate anyone?
- The Dansaert district is the size of a pocket handkerchief, but it is brimming over with creativity, originality and unusual places. In the rue des Chartreux, you must stop for a snack at the A.M. Sweet tea shop or a gourmet break at the Café Greenwich, a magnificent Art Nouveau brasserie where René Magritte was once a regular.
- For contemporary menswear with a twist, head straight for Rue des Chartreux, where there are three great options: Hunting and Collecting, Blender 01 and Bellerose. Nearby Rue Antoine Dansaert is another bastion of cool, with boutiques such as Stijl showcasing Belgian greats like Raf Simons and Dries Van Noten.
- In Marolles, the oldest working-class district in Brussels, you will find a thousand and one treasures. In the heart of the neighbourhood, on the unmissable Place du Jeu de Balle, there is a flea market every day of the week from 6 am to 2 pm. You can stroll among the many stalls in a cosmopolitan, convivial atmosphere.
The upper part of the city, once a bourgeois stronghold, has almost naturally become a classy shopping area. Paris has its Champs Elysées, New York has its Fifth Avenue, and Brussels has its Avenue Louise and Boulevard de Waterloo. Avenue Louise and Galerie Louise, Boulevard de Waterloo, Rue de Namour, Avenue de la Toision d’Or and the neighbouring streets are a veritable kaleidoscope of shopping
When to Visit?
Brussels gets more than its fair share of rain (on average around 200 days a year) and is generally damp, making winter visits feel somewhat chilly. Seasonal events such as the Christmas Market Summer are festive! To experience Brussels at its gayest, come for Pride week in mid May. For circuit party lovers, time your visit around one of the big La Demence parties. You sure won’t be worried about what the weather outside is when you’re partying.
