Godjo Mercato: café, bookshop and small market with African flavors in Ixelles
The café
Opened exactly one year ago, the Godjo Merkato has everything to enchant us. After all, what could be better than drinking a good cup of coffee, or any other delicious beverage, reading a book and leaving with some excellent organic produce to boot? All in one place! Take advantage of a stroll through Ixelles to stop off and enjoy a relaxing moment full of surprises. In the café area, opt simply for a matcha and a cookie, or try their tapas, like the oh-so-summery tomato and peach salad! Looking for something more exotic? Try Godjo’s specialty, pateks, served with African baobab juice. A culinary voyage guaranteed to tantalize your taste buds!
A market with African flavours
The Godja Mercato grocery store offers a wide range of organic and fair-trade products. Fruit, vegetables, bread, wine, beer, coffee, plantain chips, not to mention sauces! You’ll be absolutely charmed not only by the diversity of products, but also by their freshness and quality. Take the opportunity to stock up or buy an original gift for a loved one.
A bookshop area
The Godjo Mercato bookshop invites visitors to explore the literary riches of the cultures that inspire the flavours of space. Visitors can accompany their gourmet discoveries with captivating readings! Book launches and literary encounters are also organized, as are creative writing workshops.
One thing’s for sure: you’ll have an unforgettable time in this new Brussels space. Enjoy your visit!
