When the warm weather returns, it’s hard to resist the urge to extend the day a little after work. And while there’s no shortage of outdoor terraces in Brussels, certain spots offer a slightly different setting for enjoying a drink with colleagues or friends.
This is certainly true of the Jardin Suspendu at the Louise Hotel Brussels – MGallery Collection. Hidden behind the façade of this hotel on Avenue de la Toison d’Or, this 400 m² garden terrace offers a true oasis of greenery in the heart of the capital. It’s a place where people come as much for its atmosphere as for the pleasure of slowing down for a few hours.
A hidden garden terrace just a stone’s throw from Avenue Louise
Just a few minutes from the Louise metro station, the Jardin Suspendu offers a setting you wouldn’t necessarily expect to find right in the city center. Here, the greenery, shaded areas, and the gentle sound of the fountain create a particularly soothing atmosphere.
The space was designed as a place where people can take the time to get together, chat, and enjoy the sunny days. Whether for a break during the day or a drink in the late afternoon, the atmosphere naturally invites you to linger.
As you stroll through the garden, you’ll also come across a bench adorned with a depiction of Audrey Hepburn as a child. This tribute to the Brussels-born actress serves as a reminder of the venue’s connection to the city’s history and iconic figures. It’s a subtle detail that adds even more charm to this hidden gem.
The must-try after-work spot this summer
If you’re always on the lookout for a new spot to meet up with colleagues or friends after work, here’s a good reason to make a note of this address.
Through the end of summer, Le Jardin Suspendu is offering a happy hour designed to turn the end of the day into a true moment of relaxation. Monday through Friday, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., enjoy a €30 special that includes a Belgian-style platter to share and two draft beers of your choice from Stella, Kwak, or Tripel Karmeliet.
The concept is simple: settle into the shade of the trees, enjoy the coolness of the garden, and share a few drinks in a setting far more peaceful than the crowded terraces of downtown. It’s the perfect way to extend your day without having to leave Brussels.
With its lush setting, fountain, nod to Audrey Hepburn, and summer after-work offerings, this spot has everything to appeal to those looking for a new place to meet up after work. Our advice? Be sure to make a reservation, especially during peak hours. One thing is certain: you’ll likely want to come back long before summer ends.
