Lonely Planet review

The newly revamped Tour & Taxis complex is the first stage of a massive transformation of Brussels' unloved canal quarter. These old warehouses and customs depots, now prime examples of the city's industrial heritage, were built at the start of last century by the Tour et Taxis family, founders of Belgium's postal service. Abandoned in the 1980s, the complex is now being developed into a new waterfront neighbourhood.

Exhibition centres, shops, restaurants and modern apartments are either on the drawing board, near completion or newly opened. Have a meal in the first restaurant to have opened here, Tasso, to see what's going on.
