A croissant, an orange, a coffee and off you go for a good day! Breakfast, considered by some to be the most important meal of the day, can be enjoyed at home, in a restaurant or on the run to work. What are the best places in Brussels to have a good breakfast? Here are our recommendations.
1. Chicago Café: the English breakfast version
Croissants, sourdough bread with butter and jam, peanut butter brownie, cheesecake, carrot cake, eggs, charcuterie, avocado toast, Latte coffees of every possible kind and invigorating fresh fruit juices… there’s no shortage of praise for the breakfast at Chicago Café, located right in the heart of the city.
📍Rue de Flandre 45
2. Crème: breakfast with pancakes
Classic pancake with maple syrup, Belgian pancake with chocolate and speculoos, pancake with cream and seasonal fruit, peanut butter pancake, caramel cookie pancake, Oreo pancake, salmon pancake or bacon-egg pancake – we’re crazy about the choice and the flavors! We love pancake breakfasts!
📍Rue de Rollebeek 30
3. Kafei: Japanese-style breakfast
Four addresses to remember: Kafei Louise, Dansaert, Korner or their Atelier. Here, you can prepare for a day full of culinary discoveries with delicious Japanese fluffy pancakes. These pancakes from Japan are puffed and delicious: they can be eaten with chocolate, tiramisu, matcha… Yum!
