With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, we thought it was time to take stock of the most original gift ideas and outings to share this February 14 in Brussels. And since we thought that giving a bouquet of flowers or a box of chocolates was totally out of fashion, we’ve come up with a LOT better.
Fondue with a view and cocktails at Rooftop Perché
Now’s your chance to get cheesy . Imagine yourself perched at the top of one of the city’s trendiest rooftops, with a breathtaking view of Brussels’ most beautiful monuments under a mountain of melted cheese with your better half. No, it’s not a dream, it’s simply the capital’s new Rooftop Perché special for discerning foodie couples. Head to the heart of the city, on the 7th floor, to enjoy a tasty, dizzying cheese fondue accompanied by a mixed board of cheese (you can never have enough), charcuterie, a bottle of wine (with an optional glass of champagne), and a cocktail. Take him/her up to the 7th floor!
📍Chaussée de Charleroi, 132, Saint-Gilles, 1060
Pamper yourself in the new Désir & Moi love-shop
It’s brand new, and just in time to spice up your Valentine’s evening… A new kind of love-shop (and much classier than those we’re used to seeing) has opened on Rue Saint-Jean. At Désir & Moi, in addition to an elegant window display and a luminous space enhanced by a pretty chandelier, you’ll find everything you need to please your partner or simply yourself. And it’s a gift: for the launch, we’re offering you a 10% discount in store or onwww.desiretmoi.beavec the code BS10. No need to thank us…

Admire the sunset from Place Poelaert
