We checked out this small bagel place in St. Gilles. The waitress was a bit rude but the food made up for it. If you love bagels, check it out:
This place is perfect for a small lunch. Just don’t go here starving. The combination of bagel sandwich, salad, and drink (together ~4-8 euros) can be quite satisfying, and much more so than the run-of-the-mill Belgian lunch sandwiches you can find everywhere. For the record, the roasted red pepper cream cheese with smoked salmon and cress went down very nicely.
By all accounts the tuna salad tasted great, too. The cinnamon cream cheese became too overpowering after eating about half of it, but its uniqueness still holds some charm. Considering that bagels are not standard fare in Brussels, this place is worth checking out when you’re in the neighborhood, especially at off-peak hours.
