Becinbrussels: Le Petit Forcado
http://becinbrussels.blogspot.com/2013/01/le-petit-forcado_22.html
City wanderings - and a pilgrimage to some of the best eating and drinking spots in Brussels. Or maybe not eating or drinking - ah, oh well. Tuesday, January 22, 2013. I have already written about cake. I have sampled muffins, cupcakes and lemon cake galore. All the evidence is on this blog and cannot be denied. But what of the Portuguese pastry? This is the tale of my encounter with Joaquim's Pas. Belem, in case you missed it the first time round. Recipes do not always work out, however. And then there ...

Becinbrussels: July 2012
http://becinbrussels.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
City wanderings - and a pilgrimage to some of the best eating and drinking spots in Brussels. Or maybe not eating or drinking - ah, oh well. Sunday, July 22, 2012. A good time to come to Tavernier is on a warm, lazy afternoon, for your taste of a fresh Nicolay Juice. Perhaps it will bring you success! We're a bit thin on the ground, but it's better than being crammed in. We're listening to a Cuban 8 person band called Sonac de las Tunas. There's my favourite, the waistcoated trumpeter, face contorting as...

Becinbrussels: Friterie Tabora
http://becinbrussels.blogspot.com/2012/05/friterie-tabora.html
City wanderings - and a pilgrimage to some of the best eating and drinking spots in Brussels. Or maybe not eating or drinking - ah, oh well. Saturday, May 19, 2012. Back with my parents for a few days, I catch my Dad with bemused eyes taking in my waistline. He asks, all innocent-like, if I have been doing much café reviewing lately. These were NOT mine. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you this wonderful carb-tastic Belgian creation: the mitraillette (sub-machine gun)! Fried burger (or some form of me...

Becinbrussels: January 2014
http://becinbrussels.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
City wanderings - and a pilgrimage to some of the best eating and drinking spots in Brussels. Or maybe not eating or drinking - ah, oh well. Thursday, January 30, 2014. Théâtre Royal de Toone. First ensure you’ve had a couple of kwak beers in their proper glass, then head upstairs to Toone’s theatre with its puppets dangling from the eaves, take your place on the bench – and be prepared to not understand very much. Fear not though, this is normal. There’s a sp uu. In this play, you know, and a snotneus.

Becinbrussels: August 2012
http://becinbrussels.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
City wanderings - and a pilgrimage to some of the best eating and drinking spots in Brussels. Or maybe not eating or drinking - ah, oh well. Thursday, August 9, 2012. Why did I decide to go away? Why not February, my most hated month? Oh, and while I'm gone, would anyone like to write a guest article for the blog? Too many places to write about. Can't keep up. Need help! Parking is not too much of a headache down here and I'd recommend the area because there are plenty of places to eat and drink, as well...

Becinbrussels: April 2012
http://becinbrussels.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
City wanderings - and a pilgrimage to some of the best eating and drinking spots in Brussels. Or maybe not eating or drinking - ah, oh well. Sunday, April 15, 2012. To be honest, at the start of my training, I was only at Arpaije. To pass the time; but gradually my supervisors inspired me to work in this profession, and now I'm completely immersed in it and will never want to leave". (Diaby, trainee). Without the benefit of a famous face and all that publicity. A princely 12 euros 50 for a three course m...

Becinbrussels: Western Shop
http://becinbrussels.blogspot.com/2014/01/western-shop.html
City wanderings - and a pilgrimage to some of the best eating and drinking spots in Brussels. Or maybe not eating or drinking - ah, oh well. Tuesday, January 21, 2014. I was looking for authentic cowboy boots; I didn’t expect to find so many of them quite so close to home. But then I hadn’t counted on finding a Western Man in Brussels, either. Ois Chladiuk’s Western Shop grew out of a life’s passion for the Wild West. One day, while looking at a postcard, he realised he had a match. And there it was!

Becinbrussels: Le Coq d'Or
http://becinbrussels.blogspot.com/2011/03/le-coq-dor.html
City wanderings - and a pilgrimage to some of the best eating and drinking spots in Brussels. Or maybe not eating or drinking - ah, oh well. Saturday, March 26, 2011. Do you have a grosse faim? I mean a really, really grosse faim? If you do then I suggest you come here, to find out how hungry you really are! The first time I was invited to Le Coq d'Or. I thought I had arrived at the wrong place. Wandering through a smoky bar I found myself in the kitchen, but it turned out that this was the friterie.
