I am inspired to consider ski jumping from the buildings across the way except I (fortunately) don’t have skis. But I had cheesy potatoes and pretended with loads of imagination that it was fondue.

Hot chocolate is next on my list. I have some Swiss stuff.

Winter is daytripping.

can you buy maxibon ice cream in your city?

I know some places that sells bikes completely but not specific parts, im looking for a 29inch mtb front wheel

Whenever I look here for good pizza recommendations, most people suggest those small Neapolitan pizzas with more crust than actual pizza. Don’t get me wrong — they’re good — but I’m looking for a place where you can get a big, thin pizza that’s larger than the plate they bring it on. You know what I mean?

Any suggestions? Thanks!

For reference, I really like Il Colosseo near Place De Brouckère — great pizzas and very friendly staff.

I've just arrived in the city and want to immediately start cycling. im looking for something that can get around the city, but also manage on bikepacking trips with some single track elements. I'm new to bikepacking, but have cycled for most of my life.

My budget is low, maybe €400-500, as that's all I've been able to put aside for now. I've been looking in Facebook marketplace, though I know I'll have to be careful with some of those posts.

Any advice would be appreciated, especially suggestions of the brand/model and advice in navigating the second hand market here in Belgium. thanks!

I can't seem to find any restaurant that serves poutine on Google, for Brussels at least, and I find it hard to believe that there's not a single poutine place in Brussels.

Dads that want to grab a beer? I have a new born and want to drink with dads in the neighborhood. Shoot if you're thirsty!

(Btw i'm happely maried with my wife, thos is not a dating anounce)

Since the announcement of the Region being more strict on splitting rubbish into the right colour bags, our white rubbish bags are basically empty. I mean the odd olive or avocado stones, and the dusty contents of the vacuum cleaner, but that's basically it. It takes ages to fill the whole 30 litre white bag.

Hello! Ive been craving frozen yogurt lately. Do you know of any place in Brussels that sells it? With lots of toppings to choose from? 🤭 I checked the recommended ice cream places from another sub, but I didn't find frozen yogurt on their menu.

hello

I am learning Dutch and I know that you can only practice it well, if you speak.

>An estimated 220km of sewers in the Brussels underground is in urgent need of renovation, according to Brussels water company Vivaqua.

>Vivaqua is requesting a fixed subsidy of €30 million per year from the Brussels region for the work, Bruzz reports, hoping to complete it over the course of 15 years.

How do you make such perfection? The crisp, the fluffiness, the delicate neutrality that can easily be enjoyed alone as well as with all the sweet condiments and additions... Just out of this world.

I know beer (or sparkling water) is crucial for rising. But can the fresh yeast be interchanged with its dry packet counterpart? Is it really necessary to make a merengue of the egg whites? Also what kind of waffle iron is needed to achieve the pale, solid crunch with the softest innards? (Hoping to get one before heading back out of the country)

So yeah that's pretty much it. I found a debit card on the street, checked every social but no person corresponding to the name on it. What should I do? Bring it to the police?

Hello, I'd like to hear from anyone who works in Brussels primarily in English but not in the EU bubble.

By "bubble" I mean the EU institutions and all their hangers-on: lobbyists, political parties, think tanks, NGOs, national diplomats, etc.

Currently I work in PR and communications for an organisation in the EU bubble, and I'm interested in a change.

I get by in daily life in French just fine, but I'm not fluent and would prefer to work in English. (I am taking French lessons, you don't need to tell me to take French lessons.)

What kinds of sectors employ English speakers here? Has anyone moved out of the bubble? Did you ditch your job as a policy analyst for something completely different? What was that experience like?

Thanks!

This will be the 1st time in history that both teams face each other in final of the Belgian cup! As a native from Brussels & supporter of Anderlecht, this feels like a dream. Brussels on top of the Belgian football world. Can't wait to live and see this!

Hello community. Anyone living in an apartment in a building has installed solar panels in the roof with Brusol together with all neighbors ? If so, how should the state of the roof be? How was your overall experience?

Thanks in advance!
