Start from the last floor to discover the original Manneken-Pis. This museum has more than 7.000 pieces to discover the history of Brussels.
As Brussels resident, I loved it. It’s nice to see paintings of the old Brussels.
For tourists, I recommend to visit this museum only if you have spare time. The visit takes around 1h30/2h. The entrance is 10 euros for adults and 4 euros for students and kids.
Brussels has an incredible story but I don’t think this exposition helps the discovery in an easy and user friendly way. A lot to improve in the journey of the visit to the museum. I recommend to start from the last floor where you learn about the history of the city. Then, go down to ground floor where there are the less interesting pottery and the statues from the old city.

I had the best vol au vent in my life. In a residential area, I found this restaurant and pub that serves Belgian and Thai food. I guess the mix comes from the couple that runs the restaurant. I had fondue (cheese croquette), vol au vent and a trio of sorbets. Portions were perfect and food was tasty. The vol au vent, typical Belgian dish, was truly spectacular. The meat of the chicken was tender and you could taste it was high quality. The dish comes with Belgian fries which were also good. They have a nice terrace and I’m sure in summer this is quite a nice spot to sit at the sun. You will spend around 40/50 euros for a meal with a starter, main dish, one glass of wine and dessert. Recommended.
