La Fleur En Papier Doré - Brussels

Wonderful and super cousy. Beers are also very tasty. Now they only serve food and snacks but it is still an amazing historical bar to be in Brussels.

It doesn't do food anymore but I'll give it a five anyway as it was nice when we ate there in 2019. One of the classic Brussels bars with ties to Magritte and several other artists, it suffered because of Covid (like so many places) and has only recently reopened as just a bar (but you can buy sandwiches next door and take them in). Well worth a visit.

Not huge choice of beers but place looks awesome. Good to visit

This used to be an authentic Brussels café; unfortunately the new owners don’t understand what Brussels really means, like zwanzen or not taking yourself too seriously. A new generation of cancel culture has done damage to what used to be my playground and with me so many native people born in Brussels. If you like overpriced drinks in a cancelled and all-but-authentic Brussels atmosphere, then this is the place for you. If you’re looking for authentic Brussels “estaminet”, move on. It’s not here anymore. This is Disney for wokers. Dommage.

We didn't do that many bars but this was recommend. I would also recommend it as the bext bar we went to.
