Mirano Brussels
The “Ciné Mirano” cinema opened its doors in 1934, closed down in 1978 to then be transformed into a nightclub in 1981. In 2017, it closed its doors again for 2 years for a major makeover and re-opened in 2019 under new management.
From the gold/black colour codes to the choice of materials such as limestone or wooden panelling and the (re)introduction of neon lights, everything possible has been done to return the place to its former glory.
Now open every weekend.
Fridays, expect techno and house music with Moskow Diskow.
Saturdays, expect Hip-Hop and Dancehall with MORE+.

Le Jardin de ma Soeur
The desire to present theater amongst people; as if a performance is nothing but a conversation, in a place somewhere in between the large halls and the streets, half living room, half pub, in a warm ambiance where one can sip a glass while watching a performance. That's cafe-theater "Le Jardin de ma Soeur", at the edge of the ancient "Grand Béguinage de Bruxelles", alongside one of the quays of the old port of Brussels where the spirit of the dock workers lingers and where one can still feel the presence of the beguines with their long black robes.

The former Café Greenwich's story began back in 1914. The famous Brussels chess pub already underwent a thorough renovation in 2011 and has now been completely refreshed once again.

Café Delune
Théâtre Royal de Toone
During the Spanish occupation of the Netherlands all theaters were closed to prevent the actors from raising satirical pieces against the Spanish rulers. As a result, doll shows came into play: it was easier to tolerate the fierce dialogues when pronounced by lifeless dolls. About 1830 Antoine "Toone" Genty opened a puppet theater, then in the Marolles. More than 180 years later, this popular entertainment has grown into a Royal Puppet Theater. After Genty, his (unrelated) successors would also be called Toone (Antoine).
The classics are performed in the local Brussels dialect with wooden puppets (the so-called poechenel), sometimes in Dutch or in French. The puppet theater and museum has been located near the Grand Place for four decades. The theater is located on the upper floors of the building, on the ground floor there is a pub. The museum contains old dolls, including 19th century specimens.

There are also mocktails, snacks and ready-to-eat food combos. An interesting detail: the cocktail menu is designed as a passport for the United Kingdom of Euphoria. It sounds pretty promising to us... Chin chin!

La Fleur en Papier Doré
The Gilt Paper Flower, a listed building since 1997, has for decades been a meeting place for locals and tourists alike, whether curious about or fascinated by the history of this 17th-century building. An estaminet for a long time under the premonitory name of Café des artistes, the Flower soon became what it is famous for today: the place where artists, particularly the Surrealists (Marcel Mariën, René Magritte, Louis Scutenaire, etc.) and the Cobras (Dotremont, Alechinski, etc.), met in an infernal flea market setting.
Open Monday to Sunday from 8am to midnight, La Fleur en Papier Doré offers a range of local produce (including Verschueren saison, beers from the De Ranke brewery, and Stouterik on draught from Brasseries de la Senne), which can be enjoyed with a portion of cheese or sausage. Since its reopening in May 2023, The Gilt Paper Flower has closed its kitchen to concentrate on its role as a café.
The venue also has two rooms where the public can enjoy a programme of lectures, concerts, poetry and literature...
