Belgium’s administrative Capital and prime seductress, Brussels is a permutation of thorough contrasts. It is trendy, eccentric, intriguing, passionate and bohemian but it’s also closely guarded, discreet, conventional and deeply West European in nature. Apart from a throbbing food culture evident in its street side cafes and fine dining restaurants, the city features a series of art-deco jazz bars, stylish pubs and chic nightclubs. Surreal art comes alive in the imposing images housed inside art galleries in Jette and extraordinary architectural marvels can be witnessed at the city’s Art Nouveau structures and palatial monuments. If that doesn’t impress you much Brussels has a flurry of high-end boutiques, chocolate shops and plush hotels. The European tourist hotspot revels in its chaos and ribs anyone who tries to pick out singular traits from its confusing multi-dimensional identity.

Brussels gave me the opportunity to review some mediocre restaurants like the La Chaloupe d’Or and the Ristorante Bocconi along with the highly-ranked, but extremely disappointing Comme chez Soi. Check out my review of Hotel Amigo, a first-rate, Grand Place located accommodation option that offers excellent service in a lovely atmosphere.
