Lonely Planet review

The most interesting of the Upper Town arcades is the tiny Galerie d'Ixelles. Although not far from Ave Louise, this gallery and its continuation, Galerie de la Porte de Namur, are culturally a world away, located in the Matonge quarter, home to Brussels' Congolese community. Mainstays here include pint-sized shops selling African cloth, Kinshasa's latest CD imports and hairdressing salons with names like 'Dream Hair' or 'The New Image of Black Men'.
