I have lived in Brussels for only 4 months. I live 5 minutes away from Place du Chatelain by foot, and it is one of my favorite places because it is lively and very fun. Go on a Wednesday and it is a guaranteed good time...lots of people watching, food merchants, people to meet! More

Place Chatelain is a busy place with a very nice ambience. On the streets around Chatelaine you will find plenty of bars and places very you can just have a snack or it a gourmet meal. Foods from Libanon, Italy, Asia etc. Wednesday's afternoons there is a food market, but also many people come to have a drink and meet... More

This square has nothing in particular. Some average restaurants sit around it. Nevertheless, when it is market day, this square becomes very vivid with plenty of people around. Better take public transportation to get there as parking your car in the surroundings is almost impossible. More

The bars and restaurants in Chatelain are not the best or the most charming of places, but people migrate towards the area because they want to have fun. The atmosphere is young professional, there is a great charm to the market on Wednesday as people make their way holding groceries, flowers and their glass of wine. Many of the eateries... More

Would highly recommend to go to Place du Chatelain for the Wednesday market. It starts in the afternoon and finishes around 7:30pm depending on the weather. You'll find lots of food, cheeses, wine, flowers, dim sum, meats, clothes, candy, nuts, fruit and vegetables. During the summer, 100's of people in their 20's-40's gather outside the bar Le Chatelain on Wednesday's... More
