Our second day in Brussels we had nice weather, a little overcast, but warm. Because it was Monday, most of the museums were closed, so we set out on an adventure to find the best food in the city (according to a guidebook I have). For the best waffles, we headed to the city center. You can find waffles all over the city, but this place also had a different kind, called “Brussels Waffles. They were very light and crispy... and of course topped with whip cream.
Next, we set out to find the best french fries. We walked a few kilometers to the spot and couldn't find the place… but all was not lost. There was a park close by, so we stayed there for a while checking out the sights and sounds.
We were getting hungry and decided to go back to the city center for steak and fries again! (took the metro back, instead of walking). We decided to go to a different restaurant this time (La Terrasse), what a mistake that was. The steak was covered in some kind of pepper sauce, not very tasty. Meghan's wine and my beer were not very good either, that's when you know a place is no good. It was a in a more touristy area, possibly the reason why.
The guidebook also mentioned a good place to see the city (and it was free). We walked into a parking garage and took the elevator to the top floor... at the top, you could see much of the city. There were a few other people up there looking around, they must have heard about this place too...
Then Meghan decided it was nap and laundry time. Later that night, we went to find some more food, we found a döner restaurant and got a shwarma (similar to a döner, but Lebanese instead of Turkish). It was very good. Then we went to Delirium to get some drinks. Meghan had a very tasty Peach Beer and I had a Delirium Tremens (elected best beer in the world according to the signs around the bar). After hanging out there for a while, we decided to call it a night.
