Maria, our Dining Traveler contributor <\/a>\u00a0and Belgium expert is at it again, this time sharing all about one of my favorite communes in Brussels: Ixelles. \u00a0She shares her Brussels local food tips and I cannot agree with her more on her picks! \u00a0Truly made me nostalgic to my time in Brussels. \u00a0Her story:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"Brussels<\/a>
Place Brugmann, Ixelles, Brussels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I am beyond excited to share a bit of Brussels with The Dining Traveler readers. This beautiful\u00a0and underestimated city has been my home since 2002 and every day I fall more in love it (even\u00a0if I now live in the \u201csuburbs\u201d). \u00a0Brussels is diverse, international, sometimes chaotic but utterly charming. It has the great\u00a0advantages of big capitals without the pollution or costs of other major European capitals. \u00a0Brussels has an indescribable effect on people, the more you stay, the less you want to leave but\u00a0no one understands why.<\/p>\n

One of my favorite weekend routines, especially during spring time is to walk around Ixelles\u00a0Lake, go to the Saturday Flagey market, and people watch while I sip a fresh mint tea from Caf\u00e9\u00a0Belga. \u00a0I am obsessed with markets as they are the best portraits of a city. \u00a0Flagey market is very \u00a0popular among students and expats: it showcases a variety of fruit and veggie stands and small eats\u00a0on Saturdays and Sundays. \u00a0The Champagne & Oyster bar on the market is a popular stop when\u00a0the sun is out and an ultimate favorite to meet friends for a chat and quick catch up.<\/p>\n

Indulge in Brussels Local Food:<\/p>\n

\"Brussels<\/a>
Desert at Rouge Tomate
Photo by Rouge Tomate Facebook Page<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Belgian & Edgy (splurge!):<\/strong><\/em> Rouge Tomate<\/a>. Rouge Tomate has \u00a0wonderful and creative\u00a0Belgian fusion dishes. \u00a0The interior is very beautiful and service is top notch, a total\u00a0package culinary destination. One of my favorite restaurants\u00a0to splurge! \u00a0Sentimental note: this was the first fine restaurant Jessica aka Dining Traveler ate at when she moved to Brussels in 2006!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Brussels<\/a>
Burger at Manhattn’s<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Comfort & Budget (cheap eats):<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0The fab burgers at Manhattn\u2019s<\/a> (Avenue Louise 164, 1050 Ixelles). It’s my new favorite burger place in the city but what I love the most is the fun, relaxed and helpful service. \u00a0A must after a busy day of shopping!<\/p>\n

\"Brussels<\/a>
Brussels Local Food Sushi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Yummy Japanese (ethnic):<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0Izakaya (Chauss\u00e9e de Vleurgat 123, 1000 Brussels) I used to live next door to this\u00a0authentic Japanese restaurant and it never disappointed. Their sushi is the freshest in the city and\u00a0their teppan dishes and yakitoris are worth the (sometimes long) wait.<\/p>\n

\"Brussels<\/a>
Fabien making cocktails at Sofitel Le Louise<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Drink:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

High-End:<\/em><\/strong> \u00a0Ideal for after- work drinks is the amazing bar at the Crystal Lounge of the Sofitel\u00a0Brussels Le Louise. The decoration is modern, sophisticated and dreamy, the service\u00a0super friendly. \u00a0I had the honor of trying The Angers-lima, a cocktail created by the\u00a0very talented bartender Fabian van Roy. \u00a0The Angerslima has pisco, minth liquor, amaretto, cranberry juice, egg white and lime! Fabian made it to the prestigious Belgian\u00a0Giffard West Cup Preselection\u00a0with this cocktail and now is his signature drink at the bar.\u00a0Being a cocktail lover I went to cocktail heaven with this!<\/p>\n

\"Brussels<\/a>
Jessica aka The Dining Traveler at Cafe Belga<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Casual:<\/strong><\/em> Have a cold Leffe or a fruity Lindemans Kriek (cherry beer) at Caf\u00e9 Belga, absolutely fun atmosphere\u00a0day or night, sunshine or rain! \u00a0Cafe Belga brings together local bohemians, students, and expats in suits. \u00a0The ample indoor space welcomes DJ’s and live music from time to time on the weekends and the outdoor terrace is prime people watching real estate. \u00a0Sentimental note: Jessica aka The Dining Traveler went there on her first date with the Dutchman!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

See:<\/strong> <\/em>\u00a0There is so much to see and experience in Brussels, this is just a little glimpse of Ixelles (I had to start with my favorite part of the city) but I am looking forward \u00a0to share the fun and delicious places of all other Brussels neighborhoods. \u00a0For more tips, check out The Dining Traveler Weekend Trip Guide to Brussels<\/a>. \u00a0Have you been to Ixelles? \u00a0What’s your favorite part of the commune?
