Bar Choc
Hidden away in the Zilverpand shopping courtyard, this streamlined, contemporary café is chocoholic heaven, serving chocolate fondue, chocolate pancakes, rabbit in beer-and-chocolate sauce, as well as 44 different kinds of hot and cold chocolate drinks (made from real chocolate, of course). The ginger hot choc – with bobbing pieces of handmade gingerbread – is wonderfully warming in winter.

Le Pain Quotidien/Het Dagelijks Brood
Now a successful multinational chain, this is the original flagship of baker Alain Coumont, who launched his cafés here in 1990. Like its offspring, it revolves around a central wooden communal table, where local fashion designers, media types and post-clubbers rub shoulders over freshly baked bread and pastries, pies, salads and sandwiches, as well as sinful chocolate cakes.

Brasserie La Clef d'Or
Unassuming café that's been serving soupe de la maison (house soup) and a good croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) to flea-market vendors for years. It's as unpretentious as they come. The unusual opening hours reflect the needs of the clientele.

Waka Moon
This funky corner cafe in a converted bookshop serves up African cooking to locals who congregate at the outside tables when the weather permits. There's plenty of chicken on the menu (try the chicken yassa) and the eclectic interior's zebra-striped chairs are happy-snap worthy.

L’Ultime Atome
The lively dining strip of Rue St-Boniface typifies ‘new Brussels’ with its multilingual clientele and diverse cuisines (traditional Belgian to Thai and more). For a good entrée to the scene here, start at the brasserie L’Ultime Atome.
