Theater Cafés Bruxelles - Brussel

Housed in a 17th century baroque chapel, this contemporary art centre presents an eclectic programme in which dance, theatre and visual arts play the leading roles. The place has an irregular program, but it allows to have an idea of the new trends. The bar is open from 6pm onwards on the evenings of the shows and it is possible to eat (dish of the day or assortment of cheeses, cold cuts or vegans), preferably with a reservation. Not to be confused with the eponymous restaurant Les Brigittines, which has been open for years, just a few steps away.

Le Basilic is a café-theater located in Brussels. It serves Belgian, European and French cuisine. Customer reviews are mixed, with some appreciating the delicious food and warm welcome from the staff, while others criticize the show and the food. Value for money is considered good. The restaurant is located beneath the basilica, in a unique and beautiful setting. Some customers recommend it for its originality and warm atmosphere. However, others have been disappointed by the quality of the food and service. Advance reservations are recommended, as some dates may be fully booked.

The former covered market Sainte-Marie, dating from the 19th century, has become an invitation to the interdisciplinarity of the arts, a commitment to a dialogue on the contemporary world, proposing an intergenerational exchange. Les Halles de Schaerbeek thus embodies the reallocation of an industrial site into a cultural structure. Located in a mixed neighbourhood, Les Halles wants to be an actor and co-author of a better social cohesion, that of their neighbourhood. Dance, circus, theatre, literature... the arts respond to each other, all with a view to the world.

Originally a Flemish theatre, the Beurs has gradually diversified its activities in a spirit of multicultural openness. It has become a key venue for contemporary creation in Brussels. Concerts, often by emerging artists, exhibitions and other artistic activities are often organised here. Music is omnipresent in the bar, with regular DJ sets and cutting-edge concerts. In the summer, the rooftop offers a nice alternative to the bar on the ground floor. The public is rather artistic and intellectual.

A zany little place where there's never a dull moment. The list of events includes some thirty events. In addition, collaborations with other structures continue, including Kunstenfestivaldesarts and KVS. If you've never danced with death, listened to an entire album in the dark, discussed science over cocktails or attended a podcast festival - all on the 2023-2024 program - now might be a good time to discover Atelier 210, which continues to amaze even the most discerning of audiences.

Since 1960... it's as much a place of history as a cabaret. Its programming is highly varied, and the cellar is transformed into a dance hall (retro "Let's Dance" evenings, burlesque evenings "Parisian cabaret version" every quarter, all genres, swing...), a concert hall (mention "Mad Jam" Thursdays once a month), a theater (renowned and unknown comedians, improvisation, theatrical creations...), and a games room (music and cinema quizzes). You might have guessed that we also eat at Os à Moelle!

The Kings of Comedy Club is a cafe-theater with a New York club atmosphere and a style that is unusual in Belgium. Shows feature well-known and amateur artists with a common theme: humor. The very democratic entrance fee allows everyone to make their own (re)discoveries. Everything is set up so that you can grab a bite to eat or a drink close to the artists, making for a cosy atmosphereand a lively show! No distant stage or dressing rooms, just the same living space. Reservations essential and second address in Saint-Gilles.
