Food Scene

Great food, a nice fusion of Japense and Korean food. Always crowded. Get their early or reserve a table. The sushi is lovely, a bit pricey, but you will leave happy. Only 5 minutes by foot.

This place is always full, it is best to reserve in advance. Authentic Bolongnese kitchen, and super friendly Italian staff. A great way to learn about Bolognese food. I highly recommend the wine, they have an extensive list.

This is a popular spot, a bit touristic but always active. If you do not know what to do or where to go, this place will always be a good resolution. Music, sometimes live music, and right next door the flagey jazz venue. The perfect spot for any night. It is just a nice stroll up the hill 9 minutes by foot.

This is a cosy bar, more touristic now but still worth seeing. Be warned it is mainly a beer bar. I love it becasue you can play games, read, lounge, its like a bar meets your own living room. They have many board games and a large variety of Belgian beers.

Arts & Culture

Because it is around the corner and a must see sight.

A very small spot, worth it if you are into culture, politics, and Lumumba. If you do not know Lumumba this spot will probably hold no real meaning for you. If you know him, then this spot will bring a moment of emotional appreciation.

Parks & Nature

It is one of the largest parks, a bit far but if you have time to see it, do. Somethings pop in terms of bars.

Cute little city park, right across from Flagey. It is a nice place to sit or go for a short run. I love this spot, and it is next to many bars, and the jazz venue.

Essentials

Cute organic shop, sometimes a bit over priced but it is nice and around the corner. Has a lot of nice things and seems to be following the seasonal food production. Come early sometimes at night it can feel scare with produce.
