When temperatures rise in Brussels, certain terraces instantly become the spots where everyone wants to be. This year, the Jardin du Lily’s is banking on a Tulum-inspired vibe to transform its summer evenings into a true escape. And honestly, it’s hard not to be tempted…
A summer oasis at the foot of the IT Tower
Just a few minutes from Avenue Louise, the Jardin du Lily’s has just reopened with a brand-new summer vibe. This is no ordinary urban terrace! Here, the atmosphere is more reminiscent of long Mexican evenings than traditional Brussels after-work gatherings. Dim lighting, icy cocktails, sunny playlists, and lively tables set the scene. The venue is open Thursday through Saturday starting at 7 p.m. and seems tailor-made for extending those late-night evenings. It’s the perfect spot for everything from a spontaneous after-work drink to a full evening with friends.
Cocktails that smell like vacation
The real strength of the Jardin du Lily’s is its menu, designed as a mini summer getaway. The signature cocktails play the freshness card with fruity and herbal combinations that are particularly refreshing , when Brussels finally hits 20 degrees. Special mention goes to the Lily’s Candy, a blend of vodka, strawberry, verbena, and yuzu, and the Brisa Verde, a more herbal mix spiced with ginger, basil, and cucumber. Fans of frozen drinks will also find something to their liking with several frozen cocktails, including a mango-mezcalita that’s likely to become the star of the season. For purists, the classics—Aperol, Campari, and Hugo Spritz—are, of course, still on the menu.
Tapas to share and long summer evenings
On the culinary front, Lily’s stays true to the convivial spirit of large summer gatherings. The menu features small plates designed for sharing: sea bass ceviche, fried calamari, grilled peppers, burrata, and a modern take on hummus —all served in portions perfect for nibbling on all evening. The venue also offers private events for groups and after-work gatherings, with packages tailored for corporate parties or summer birthdays. But the real luxury here is above all that sense of escape right in the city center. For a few hours, Brussels swaps its urban rhythm for seaside vibes . And frankly, we’re not going to complain!
