Guidebook for Schaarbeek
Food Scene
Very decently priced French/Belgian AND Greek cuisine from Kreta (where the owners originate from).
Local hang-out for the politicians and civil servants of the town hall opposite in the daytime. In the evening, very diverse audience of young families, people of diverse ages meeting up, .... Uncomplicated and cosy. Always a selection of very, decent wines in the offering. Also ask after the special Greek ones that are not on the menu.

Old-fashioned Belgian cuisine opened by a young entrepreneur a few years ago. It is small so reservations are compulsory!

The place to have mussels in Brussels ;) Only place we know in our area where you can get decent mussels, in many, many preparations and they have lots of spaces, also for groups, but reservations are recommended. Also a warmed terrace at the back.

Best snack around! Does a decent falafel for vegetarians, their white (garlic) sauce is home-made and excellent. Very neat and tidy, always fast and friendly service and the meat, chips and vegetables are of excellent quality.

In winter (from October) it holds a weekly bar on Friday evenings in the old horse stables of the tram depot (when trams were pulled by horses). In summer the bar moves to the bandstand of the Josaphat Park.

Entertainment & Activities
Pristine, white, cinema where you feel to be in the film a Clockwork Orange, more precisely in the Milk Bar. Very quiet cinema, newly started so does not attract too many people but leather seats AND you can take your glass of wine, beer, soft with you, in the glass!!! Lovely beer selection. Very trendy but needs to be discovered by more people!
