Dansaert
Because, fashionista, this is your paradise.
You’ll love this...
Rummage around Brussels Vintage market – find hidden gems. It’s on the last Sunday of each month.
But you won’t love this...
Hip + Happening = Hollow? If you seek serenity, seek elsewhere.
Will I like living here?...
Once a rough industrial district, gentrification has served its purpose. Today Dansaert is the epicentre of the Brussels' fashion scene.
Think hyper-trendy with constant creation at every corner. Love high-end, vintage or innovative fashion? Welcome to Dansaert.
And hey, what’s better than eating out?
Instagramming it.
If that sounds like you, try local hide-out Chicago Cafe – they even do vegan brunches on the weekend.
And if you’re bored...
Roskam: A quaint bar with live music and Dj sets. Perfect for spending a Sunday evening listening to jazz.
Google rating: 4.5/5
And this Google review nails it:
“The ratio of males to females was 100 to 1. Usually this would be thrilling but I wish I got more attention. Was there a dog in there??? Good selection of Strong dark beer and waitress gave us some good recommendations.”
What does this even mean??? What happened with the dog? Why leave us on a cliffhanger?
Anything else?
Dansaert has shaken off those old rough edges – and the dodgy reputation. Today it’s all about expats and young adults mixing it up.
So get into it. Buy that outrageous outfit, put it on, and find the party. It lasts all night.
And did you know?…
Have you heard about the trio of urinating statues hidden around Brussels? Well now you have. So go – join the hunt. The third statue, Zinneke Pis (a urinating dog), is somewhere here in Dansaert...
Although this is the only one not actually doing any peeing. (A peeing dog that isn’t? How metaphysical.)
