If you&#8217;re staying with us, we highly recommend starting your day with a visit to Brød Brussels, our partner café conveniently located in the same building. Brød is a modern, casual urban sandwich shop that has quickly become a local favorite. Whether you&#8217;re in the mood for a leisurely breakfast, a gourmet snack, or a satisfying midday meal, Brød has something to delight every palate. Enjoy your meal on their spacious terrace, perfect for soaking up the city atmosphere. It&#8217;s the ideal spot to fuel up before exploring Brussels.

Frank Brussels is a trendy, sustainable café and restaurant right next door to us, with direct access from our lobby. Serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, they focus on fresh dishes, all made from scratch, containing loads of vegetables. Whether you’re in the mood for a casual coffee, breakfast, or a full meal paired with natural wines, Frank offers a welcoming and laid-back dining experience. Their delicious menu and relaxed vibe make it a perfect spot for guests looking for quality flavors.

We are always in the mood for some Ramen. At Umamido you get a homecooked meal with maximum flavor, no matter what you order. This Japanese cuisine is located just a ten minutes walk from the hotel, with a cozy, rustic interior. On sunny days you get even enjoy your meal outside!

Paul is a cozy little French cafe located right next to the hotel. Here you can enjoy fresh pastries and delicious high quality coffee. Their history goes back all the way to 1889, so you know that they know their bread. 



Go there for breakfast or brunch. In the summer they are summer salads and the most delicious Frappé. Needless to say &#8211; we recommend you order it when you go there.

If you&#8217;re looking for a place to eat, but not to far a walk from the hotel, Le Rendez-Vous Brasserie Restaurant is the perfect choice. It has a cozy atmosphere (with the possibility to sit outside), friendly staff and delicious food. 



The menu is big, and you have a lot of meals to choose from. We recommend the linguine with lobster or the mussels with garlic cream. You won&#8217;t be disappointed. And if you&#8217;re really hungry &#8211; go for the Tomahawk steak. Delicious!

Stone-baked pizzas with fresh, quality ingredients. Do we need to say more?



Gusti Pizzeria is only a 4 minute walk from the hotel. That means that you are never far away from a fresh pizza. Whether you are in the mood for a classic Margherita or want to try something a little more exciting like their Honey Goat Cheese, you are guaranteed to leave the restaurant happy and full! 



PS: They even have take-away if you would rather enjoy the meal in your Citybox bed.

Make it a night to remember! Arion is a real Brasserie that combines the arts of brewer and true gourmet. Here you can savor the classics of Belgian cuisine that everyone loves, but also taste creative dishes from their amazing chef. 



Arion serves lunch and dinner, and they have a wide menu where we can almost guarantee that you will find something you love. It&#8217;s hard to pick a favorite to recommend here, so go with your gut! 



The best part? The restaurant is only a 1-minute walk from the hotel.

Arion

From art on the walls to delicious pasta on your plate, Bavet is a must to visit if you are craving some pasta! All their dishes are hilariously named, so if you have our kind of humor you&#8217;ll have a difficult time in choosing one. In the end it doesn&#8217;t matter &#8211; they are all delicious!

Bavet

Just a few minutes walk from the hotel you will find Lloyd Coffee Eatery. A cozy café that serves a large range of coffee, lunch/brunch, buns, pancakes &#8211; you name it! They have it all. 



If you are aiming for a big breakfast we recommend the Salmon gravlax (we are Norwegians after all). They also have some delicious salad bowls if you are trying to stay healthy! 



If you are travelling with your family, Lloyd has a kids corner where they can play while you relax. 



PS: There are a few tables outside, so enjoy your coffee and meal outside on sunny days!

Ramen is always a good idea! Takumi is a chain that you can find in several places in Antwerp and Brussels. They serve traditional dishes that are freshly prepared by the kitchen. Their noodles are actually imported from Japan in order to maintain an authentic taste experience. We recommend the Chicken Shio Ramen, with dumplings and edamame beans on the side! Also, when in Belgium, add a beer to your order as well.

Takumi, Brussels

This one is for the meat-lovers. Colonel is located in the heart of Brussels and offers warmth and authenticity in a setting that is both modern and classy. From the butcher counter you can choose exceptional meat dishes, and of course the side dishes are just as good. 



We recommend asking the very helpful staff for help when ordering, they really know their menu! And when in doubt, try the Wagyu Blackmore. It&#8217;s really, really good.

Colonel

You simply can&#8217;t visit Brussels without having some fries. Although you can pretty much get them everywhere, we really recommend Frites Atelier in Brussels! The fries are soft, creamy and beautifully crispy &#8211; all the same time. We already have water in our mouths writing this. Just go there!

Frites Atelier, Brussels

The best cocktails in Brussels! At least in our opinion. Just stone&#8217;s throw from the Grand-Place, you will find this vibrant bar. They specialize in cocktails and have over 40 different types. If you&#8217;re lucky you&#8217;ll get it in a one-of-a-kind glass or cup!



This is the perfect place to go with your friends or a loved one. Whether you like them sour, sweet or bitter &#8211; The Green Man Bar has got you covered.

The Green Man Bar

Do you like beer? Cause Delirium has like 2.000 of them. Definitely a place to visit to enjoy a beer (or ten) with friends. They actually hold the Guinness World Record for the number of beers available for tasting! It&#8217;s difficult to make a recommendation, since the selection is so wide. But don&#8217;t worry! Ask the very dedicated staff for advice and they will not disappoint you.



PS: Don&#8217;t ask them for wine. They don&#8217;t like that.

Delirium Café 

Sometimes you just want to find a green spot in the city, and at Parc de Bruxelles you can do just that. The opportunities are (almost) endless. You can enjoy a slow walk and a coffee, take a jog (good for you!) or even rent a bike to explore the peacefull scenery. The park is filled with classical statues, trees and fountains. As its on the edge of Brussels city center, you can easily get there by public transport as well. 



Enjoy!

Parc de Bruxelles

If there’s one place you have to check out while you’re in Brussels, it’s the Grand Place. Sure, it’s about 30 minutes on foot from the hotel (or 24 minutes by public transport), but trust us—it’s worth it. You really can’t say you’ve been to Brussels without seeing it.



This iconic square is the heart of the city, surrounded by grand guildhalls and the stunning Town Hall. It’s one of those places that actually looks better in real life than in the pictures—especially when it lights up in the evening.



Whether you go for a quick visit, a slow wander, or just to sit and take it all in over a cup of coffee, the Grand Place delivers. So carve out some time, bring your camera (or don’t—it’s unforgettable either way), and let this Brussels classic win you over.

Grand-Place of Brussels

Brussels might be known for chocolate and waffles, but did you know it&#8217;s also the comic book capital of Europe? The Comic Strip Trail is a fun and colorful way to explore the city- featuring over 60 murals of famous characters like Tintin, Lucky Luke, and the Smurfs painted on buildings throughout town. 



It’s part sightseeing, part treasure hunt, and a great excuse to wander through different neighborhoods. Whether you’re a comic book fan or just into street art and city strolls, this trail adds a playful twist to your visit.



You’ll find some murals close by, while others might take you a bit off the usual path. But that’s part of the fun! Just keep your eyes up and your camera ready.

You really can’t miss the Atomium. Literally. This giant, futuristic structure is one of Brussels’ most iconic sights, and it’s just 30–35 minutes from the hotel by public transport. Originally built for the 1958 World’s Fair, it’s now a must-see for first-time visitors (and yes, it’s as cool in person as it looks in the photos).



A ticket gets you access inside the Atomium, where you can explore several of the giant spheres. There are exhibitions on design, science, and the history of the building itself, plus a panorama deck at the top with sweeping views of Brussels. There’s even a light installation in the escalators that makes the journey between spheres part of the experience.



Tickets are €16 for adults and €8.50 for children. Bonus: your ticket also includes entry to Design Museum Brussels, located just next door.



If you&#8217;re up for a little adventure, you can also pair your visit with Mini-Europe, which is right around the corner. Easy, fun, and very Brussels.

The Atomium

If you’re into creativity, design, or just want to see something a bit different, the Design Museum Brussels is a great stop. Located in the Heysel district, it’s about 30–35 minutes from the hotel by public transport &#8211; but well worth the trip if you’ve got a few hours to spare.



The museum is best known for its Plastic Design Collection, a colorful and surprisingly fun celebration of plastic furniture and objects from the mid-20th century to today. There are also changing exhibitions that cover everything from graphic design and architecture to everyday objects that make you look twice.



It’s modern, thoughtful, and just the right size &#8211; not too big, not too small. Perfect for an easy-going afternoon with a creative twist.

The Design Museum in Brussels

Looking for one of the best views in Brussels? Head to Mount of the Arts. Just a 20-minute walk from the hotel, this elegant urban terrace sits between the upper and lower parts of the city. And trust us, it’s as photogenic as it gets.



From the top, you get a picture-perfect view over the formal gardens, rooftops, and church spires, with the tower of the Town Hall rising in the distance. It’s a favorite for sunset (and Instagram), but beautiful any time of day.



The area is also packed with culture. Some of the city’s top museums are right here. That includes the Magritte Museum, the Royal Museums of Fine Arts, and Bozar. So whether you&#8217;re into art or just want a scenic break, Mount of the Arts is an easy and rewarding stop.

Tucked just beside Mont des Arts, the Royal Library of Belgium (also known as KBR) is a great place to slow down and discover something unexpected. It might not be the most famous stop in Brussels, but it&#8217;s definitely one of the most peaceful and interesting.



Inside, you’ll find exhibitions that explore everything from medieval manuscripts to modern Belgian culture. The real highlight? The KBR Museum, which showcases the stunning illuminated manuscripts from the Library of the Dukes of Burgundy—true treasures of European history.



The building itself is worth a visit too, with quiet reading rooms, creative exhibits, and even a rooftop café with a view over the city. It’s perfect if you want a dose of culture without the crowds.

Brussels isn’t just Belgium’s capital. It’s kind of the capital of Europe too. The European Quarter is where it all happens, home to major institutions like the European Parliament, the European Commission, and other EU buildings. It’s a different vibe from the historic city center, but just as interesting in its own way.



The area is about 25 minutes by public transport from the hotel. It&#8217;s a great pick if you&#8217;re curious about modern Brussels, politics, or just want to see something different. The architecture is sleek and impressive, and there’s plenty of green space too. You could for example take a look at the lovely Parc Leopold and the bigger Parc du Cinquantenaire nearby.



Our best tip is to explore at the European Parliament hemicycle (yes, that round room you see on the news). You can visit for free with an audio guide and get a behind-the-scenes look at where some of Europe’s biggest decisions are made. It’s surprisingly engaging &#8211; even if politics isn’t usually your thing.
