Brussels has a new spot not to be missed on Sunday mornings. Since last Sunday, a weekly market has been set up on the Quai des Péniches. It offers the perfect mix of gourmet produce, waterside strolls and relaxed atmosphere. Read on to find out all about this ideal rendez-vous for filling up on local flavors while enjoying the unique setting of the canal.
A market like no other
Forget traditional markets set up in a square or busy street. Here, the setting is atypical! Colorful stalls line up under the Suzan Daniel bridge, facing the barges and the lively canal. A mix of local produce and a relaxed atmosphere, this new market offers a wide selection of seasonal fruit and vegetables, mature cheeses, artisan breads, olives, organic wines and even handmade soaps. There’s plenty of good stuff to go around!
Designed by and for local residents, the market aims to energize this rapidly changing area. The new residents of Quai des Péniches and the surrounding area have been the first to applaud this initiative, which contributes to creating social links while promoting more responsible consumption. The merchants are committed to a zero-waste approach, with reduced packaging and a charter of respect for the site.
A gourmet stroll along the river
Beyond the shopping, the Quai des Péniches market is an invitation to stroll. After filling your basket, let yourself be carried away by the atmosphere of the canal, watch the boats come and go and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the neighborhood. A market, a stroll and a moment out of time: a great way to start your Sunday in Brussels!
