Eating out and dancing in the capital of Belgium

Amelia is a complete chocoholic and the capital of Belgium wasn’t selected by chance, when I decided we should go on a holiday. Stores for candy of different dimensions were existing on almost every road in the downtown zone and very close to our Brussels apartment, so if she wanted some candy, the only thing I should do is to go down and buy some. Amelia’s favorite candy stores were Leonidas which are very well liked with the locals, Marcolini which is considered the finest store for top-quality Belgian chocolates. Then we found out that more affordable are the candy in Chocopolis and Maison Renardy stores.

Our evenings in Brussels were spend in some great dining places and good pubs, where we tried the local beer that we discovered might be sour or sweet – based on cherries. An additional cocktail that the local people love is a specific blend of sparkling wine and white wine. Amelia loved most the Brasserie De l’Union nightclub with its wooden bar, but I appreciated most the Bier Circus because of the vast selection of beers. The pub closest to our own holiday accommodation in Brussels was Delirium Café which was also very close to the Grand Place as well.

On one of the nights we went for some dancing and we first visited the Dirty Dancing night clubs where they played house music, after which we went to Recyclart club for some drum and bass. On the next night after we’d a great dinner, we visited a jazz club that was recommended, named Sounds Jazz Club where we stayed until the morning hours.

Amelia was satisfied that we got a lot of fun outside at the pubs and clubs, to go sightseeing and to be able to relax a lot in our serviced Brussels accommodation. We truly appreciated our stay, got engaged and decided to return.
