You
can’t miss the Galeries St. Hubert
– located one block from the Grand Place, the
glass vaulted archway roof is sure to draw your attention.
You’ll find several of Belgians gourmet chocolate
shops, delicious French Bistros/restaurants, fashion,
books, and electronic shops.
We suggest you stop by the Nauhaus Chocolate shop
– known to have the best Belgian Chocolate
(and all of Belgian Chocolate is famous!) it displays
praline filled tastes of chocolate – hazelnut,
etc – smooth chocolate of the highest quality.
The prices generally run about €19 Euros for
a small hand-picked box and on up, the bigger box
you request. Absolutely delicious –
friends will appreciate this gift – just make
sure if you buy chocolates in the summer you head
straight back to your hotel to put them in the fridge.
There’s also a fabulous delicious French
Restaurant (named Café?) – for
the life of me I cannot remember the name –
but you will recognize it – once you enter the
Galeries St. Hubert archway and enter the part with
a solid ceiling (no longer glass) make the 1st or
second turn left (which runs into the street again)
and it will be located last on the left side
- look inside and you’ll see a wonderful display
of French wines, a huge slab of butter (for the delicious
French crusty bread served with meals here) and bustling
waiters in and white outfits with aprons. Make a reservation
for later if you like.
Another restaurant I recommend which
do remember the name of is Vert de Gris – absolutely
delicious gourmet quality food – fantastic!
The waiters and waitresses are few so don’t
expect always prompt service, but the food is so delicious
from the mouth-watering appetizers to the
main course, it is worth waiting for. I suggest
a Chate du Pape wine if you are ordering the Wild
Mushroom Pasta dish. It is located a little walk from
the Grand Place at Rue des Alexiens 63 – 1000
Bruxelles. (www.resto.be/vertdegris).
