We’d been following Luca on instagram for a while, and dreaming about the day he’d get to have his own space to go wild and free. We already knew Ben back when he was running the service at Nénu, and when he decided to open his very first restaurant, Luca was the one he wanted in his kitchen. Drinks wise, he partnered with The Cocktails Club to make sure nothing was left to chance. Let’s just say this, you won’t come across many places like Tatar.

When the Dillens team decided to open a new venue, it wasn’t long till we were sitting at one of their tables. We each went separately, Chloé in spring, and myself during the Summer.
That night, I had no idea where I was going, my friends had taken me out on a surprise dinner. As we were driving through different neighborhoods, I was mentally browsing through our whole website in my head, trying to pinpoint the one place they were taking me to, but no luck. As we arrived in Uccle, we finally stopped in front of a washed-green building, where I was finally able to read the word Ivresse with a smile – Chloé had told them where to take me.

Last week, we passed the door of the Radisson Collection, super excited by the idea of discovering a new dim sum place in Brussels. Truth is, apart from Dam Sum – which, far from what some people may think, do make some of the best xiao long baos I’ve ever eaten in my life -, we’re not the luckiest dim sum-wise. But at Shanghai Kitchen, it’s not only about the dim sums. But first, you’ll actually have to go.

The rain and the cold came without knocking, taking over the city by surprise. Thankfully, Brussels is a city just as beautiful on the inside, and the places we love rushing in when the rain comes pouring just keep on opening. At least it’s the case for Jackie, which we only discovered recently, as Autumn was already settling in. Watching the rain on the window by the little counter, we couldn’t take our eyes off the shelf filled with the greatest selection of magazines. We recognized a few – Monocle, Kinfolk, Les Others – and discovered many more. Kiliane, the owner, told us about Delayed Gratification, the magazine who claims loudly to be the last to talk about the news, taking a step back and giving a brilliant analysis like no other. She then told us about Drift, the magazine for all coffee lovers, for which each tome is dedicated to a city and its coffee culture, through amazing photos and interviews. The we got lost in Apartamento, browsing through some of the most inspiring apartments you’d dream living in.
