ZOEY Loves Brussels

Historic yet hip, bureaucratic yet bizarre, self-confident yet unshowy, Brussels is multicultural to its roots! The cityscape swings from majestic to quirky to rundown and back again. Art deco facades face off against 1960s concrete developments, and regal 19th-century mansions contrast with the shimmering glass of the EU building.

Sweet Daphne and Pascale from John Ooms Agency in Belgium has ageed to let us in on their go to places in Brussels - I must admit, I can’t wait to go!

Where would you spend an evening out?

”Le FUSE is one of the city’s techno temples, and the biggest names in the field (without exception) play DJ sets there: le Fuse is a must for any decent, self-respecting clubber. The unique atmosphere attracts those in the know, and they come from far and wide. The end-of-the-night crescendos, as things approach hysteria, are legendary. Due to Covid19 restrictions le Fuse is doing Plein Air (open air) by Fuse. DJ scored liveliness and a relaxing kick-back-with-cocktails atmosphere in the lovely surroundings of Tour & Taxis. Sip some drinks and have a bubble dance!”

Where do you like to eat?

”A mixology and veggie dinner at Hortense & Humus. In early 2017, gastronomical wunderkinds Nicolas Decloedt and Matthieu Chaumont joined forces to open the doors of Hortense & Humus, an upscale-feeling yet reasonably priced restaurant that seems poised to become a Brussels showpiece. While Decloedt busies himself in the kitchen by making light veggie dishes that could turn a brown bear vegetarian, French mixologist Chaumont whips up original cocktails and mocktails infused with homemade syrups. The food-cocktail couplings are well thought out, and lending even greater harmony to the experience is the setting: a pastel-colored former teahouse with a Sistine Chapel-esque ceiling, luxurious but never gaudy.”

Where would you go shopping?

”The Dansaert neighbourhood is a top destination for shoppers that are looking for boutiques hosted by Belgian designers and top level retail shops. Located in the centre of Brussels, this focal point for fashion and design has not only beautiful shops, but a wide variety of restaurants and bars as well. This place is good for a walk, shopping, or just to relax somewhere for a bit.”

Where do you recommend staying?

”The NHow Brussels Bloom, is a place where globetrotters, business travelers and locals get together to eat, sleep, drink and create. Throughout the years, the hotel has evolved from the most exclusive hotel in Brussels to an art hotel that celebrates creativity. Today, the hotel is decorated in a contemporary and stylish fashion. Plus, it’s packed with high-end furnishings, services and facilities. During your stay, you can workout with a view of the Brussels skyline on the eighth floor, grab breakfast at the Instagram-friendly Waffle Bar or explore the art installations that bring this wonderful building to life.”
