Informal cocktail drinks
A la Mort Subite* (near Grand Place)
Tel: + 32 (0) 2 5131318
*In The Sudden Death is a strange name for a delightful 19th
century cafe, but Mort Subite is a famous Brussels beer (now
owned by Scottish & Newcastle Breweries) and also the name
of a 19th century dice game played by local employees during
their lunch break. The interior has more or less remained unchanged
and, so it seems, have the staff. Long wooden benches, high
ceilings and an array of mirrors are part of the cafe's charm.
The clientele is mixed, basic snacks are served, and the prices
are friendly. http://www.ebru.be/Cafes/CafMortSubite.html
