Brussels is one of those capitals that can turn a simple outing into a mini-getaway. This summer, it’s a stopover in Italy without leaving the city! Indeed, in a quiet corner of Etterbeek, a pop-up dedicated to Spritz has set up shop and is completely redefining the concept of a summer after-work gathering.
The Spritz as the central theme of a Brussels summer
Behind this sunny escape is La Spritzeria (located at the restaurant La Fattoria del Chianti), which reimagines the art of the aperitivo in a pop-up setting that’s decidedly welcoming. Here, no fuss! People come to unwind over a drink, in an atmosphere that evokes both Italian terraces and leisurely evenings. The concept is based on a simple yet incredibly effective idea: making the Spritz the undisputed star of the evening. Classic, reimagined, or totally unexpected, the orange cocktail comes in all its forms.
A menu that plays the surprise card
What sets this pop-up apart from traditional terraces is clearly its creativity. Far from limiting itself to familiar recipes, the menu explores bolder combinations: citrus, fresh herbs, spicy notes… The Spritz becomes a playground. To accompany the drinks, the spirit remains that of the Italian aperitivo. Platters to share, simple yet satisfying bites, and above all, an atmosphere designed to last.
The new weekend ritual in Brussels
Open only two days a week, on Thursdays and Fridays, this pop-up creates a real sense of anticipation. Between 5:00 PM and 9:30 PM, the spot becomes a gathering place for extended after-work drinks, conversations that go on and on, and evenings that start off gently. With its happy hour and deliberately laid-back vibe, the place is already establishing itself as a future classic of the Brussels summer!
📍Address: 19 Rue Froissart, 1040 Etterbeek
