On Place Brugmann at the end of Avenue Louis Lepoutre the atmosphere feels more Parisien than Bruxellois. Kevin and I love heading down to Brugmann on a weekend to soak in the European atmosphere. There's great shopping, a wine bar and plenty of choices to sit for a cappucino and croissant. My favorite café hands down is Gaudron. Open for breakfast, lunch and teatime, it's part traiteur, part bakery and part greengrocer. They offer a wide variety of gourmet goods from around Europe and often are sampling their products. The service is excellent with an army of wait staff to satisfy your every whim. On a lovely summer day, Kevin and I went there for afternoon coffee and I ordered the blueberry tartlet which was the best tarte I'd ever tasted. If you're pressed for what to have for dinner, you can order at the counter for take-away until 8pm.http://www.gaudron.be/
