This portal will be dedicated to the Grand Place of Brussels in Belgium, probably one of the most famous Grand Place’s in the world.
I have come to Brussels 7 years ago now and Grand Place was one of the first things I’ve seen in Brussels, at first I did not see the various chocolate shops or the beer selling restaurants spared all over. I just saw the marvelous architecture surrounding the tourists, the flashes the filming the people banging their head together looking up….

Where I come from we have as well such beauties but we are less interested in taking care of what’s precious. The Grand Place in Brussels is one of the most well capped architectural venues. The Belgian take good care of their Grand Place, every big event is well thought and presented in great detail here; concerts; Christmases and Flower Expos are often hosted here. I remember entering the Grand Place of Brussels and filling up with joy, my eyes were everywhere and I could not stop saying Waw Waw Waw and Waw again.

But the chocolate and the beer selling restaurants are there contouring the Grand Place from one side to the other Godiva and Leonidas and the 700 or who knows how many types of beer are present, not extraordinarily expensive and not extraordinarily pretentious, but just enough to make you go Waw one more time. And I am stressing on not expensive and not pretentious as Grand Place of Brussels is one of top sites in Europe and normally prices are just off the record book but NO, not here, I remember when I first thought of setting up a company I have looked around to rent an office, and what do you know; I have found an office, clean, really small (14sq meters) 30 seconds from the Grand Place (not the one I am in now) for 185 euros a month about the 210 with charges included. Imagine that, an office in the heart of Brussels for 210 euro a month that is another reason to say Waw.

But Grand Place is not all sugar and honey of course, in the evening you can always see tourists annoyed by dunked human like pedestrians, people throwing bottles around and very loud monologs told by the same humanoids. All that might sound a bit out of place but the truth is I love Grand Place and I would not change it one bit.

If you are superstitious you can go to the woman in bronze and touch her body for good luck – some say. I am so I went along with the gag. Maneken Pis – the little boy that was punished by his father to pipi in the street half necked! Is not far from the Grand Place, in fact there is a street exiting the Grand Place directly to the little toddler.

Another street exiting the Grand Place is called “Rue du Pita” and it’s an excellent snack option – it’s mostly Greek and Turk, I personally like GREEK food, it’s the ultimate food for me, any ladies out there if you want me around, read about greek food I’ll fall like leaves in autumn ?.
“Rue du Pita” is the place where we always go if we feel like eating quality, reasonable priced food, plus the guys serving here seem to know all the languages in the world – respect!

But Grand Place of Brussels is a treasure hunt as well, all the good beer bars are not in the middle just waiting to be filled up, in fact the ones that are seen with the naked eye are mostly empty. There are small roads, shadowy, leading to the great bars of Brussels everywhere, exiting the Grand Place 10 meters; than you take a left; and a right and you go down the stares and Waw, good people, fun, 20 million beers, music. That is the Grand Place of Brussels, and this is why Grand Place will never be decorated with the same old decorations we’ve used last year like Amsterdam for example…Grand Place is different, Grand Place is GRAND (BIG)
