Wee have traveled to Brussels every year on thanks giving. The food is is Awesome. Mussels Fish Chicken Beef Hare Beverages all kinds of beer. and of course the Italiano!and The Rue Du Bucher where you will see restaurants with there menus live. One \che Leon is the best buy.

The Hotel Metropole is like stepping into the 1920's with there iron gate lifts. Perhaps Peter lorre or Sydney Greenstreet wood be sitting in the Lobby and the Concierge Msr Dadi offers Impeccable service. Ah the old world Brussels!

4.Love Brussels

I am a USA citizen living in Belgium for 4+ yrs. I love Brussels beautiful city with tons of culture. To the person who called Europeans rude: you need to learn about different cultures and understand them. Europeans as a whole are NOT rude at all. You get what you give--did you try speaking French or Flemish while you were here? A simple 'bonjour'? Try learning a bit about the history of Belgium and why they seem 'stand-offish'.

I am a USA citizen living in Belgium for 4+ yrs. I love Brussels beautiful city with tons of culture. To the person who called Europeans rude: you need to learn about different cultures and understand them. Europeans as a whole are NOT rude at all. You get what you give--did you try speaking French or Flemish while you were here? A simple 'bonjour'? Try learning a bit about the history of Belgium and why they seem 'stand-offish'. The Grand Place is beautiful at Christmas-time; every other year they have the 'carpet of flowers' in the Grand Place which is awesome' in September there is a Belgian Beer tasting festival in the GP--over 400 different beers in Belgium and each one has to be served in it's own glass! So much to do and see in the beautiful city--check out the surrounding area too. Be careful buying 'real' Belgian lace in Brussels...most lace there is made in China. Belgian chocolate is to die for; buy some Belgian cocoa in a grocery store--you'll never cook with Hersheys again! Walk up to the Grand Sablon and have a hot chocolate at one of the chocolatiers-YUM! Travel to Brugges--\Venice of the North\. Eat at a restaurant outside of Brussels...and enjoy the 2+ hr long meal..very relaxing. Good site for restaurants: www.resto.be ; can be read in English. Since Jan '07 no smoking in restaurants. Also Brussels is a good central city to travel out of easy access to London and Paris. Also a European 5* hotel is NOT the same as a 5* hotel in the USA; air conditioning is not like it is in the US either. Bon vacance!
