hello guys i'm nico morano i'm a belgian
producer / dj
i have known Brussels for a long
time because i've been living here
already for 39 years and
um it's worth the
time to visit so don't listen to trump
it's fake news what he tells you the
city is nice.
On one weekend these are my
pointers i'm gonna give you for clubbing
food and bars
and some fashion that's enough so
uh guys i hope you enjoy
so let's start with cafe belga in the
middle of brussels
cafe belga is not only a cafe
it's really a bar but a fucking trendy
bar with
where everybody wants to go to to really
explain this point is three years ago
moby uh when he launched this album
he wanted to do a pre-showcase
this showcase was not announced he said
just
sacred geek he leaked
some information where it could have
been
and he chose cafe belga as the spot
where he wanted to do his
pre-show let's say
one guy just spread it one hour before
the gig and suddenly 3 000 people
were on the square plus flaget where
cafe belgaes so this spot is really one
of the hot spots
in belgium and is really famous uh
for yeah locals in brussels but also
uh outside of roses
it has a mega nice terrace so even in
the winter it's full
people are just sitting there even when
yeah a little bit of rays of sun and
everybody's on the terrace
but inside you can put 600 people even
and it still feels cozy
on a friday night a normal friday night
it's packed
when there's a dj it's uber packed but
they don't need
special geeks to be full and to have a
good ambiance
it's just a very very good bar they
serve
really cool drinks and on top of that
the crew is amazing
and i don't have auctions or i don't
have
i don't earn money making promotion for
this
bar but really it's a really nice a nice
place
and the owner the manager is also a very
cool dude
so big up to arnold yeah so
that's a bar thing
if you're finished at cafe belga
and you are a little bit hungry a
pre-hunger feeling before going to the
club
then in the same street 200 meters
up the street there is maitanur maitanur
is a very very
cozy little syrian restaurant um i'm
already for 23 years a vegetarian
and yeah they have such delicious food
for me
um i didn't know but a tanur is like a
big
oven and and you make kind of flat bread
in it
but what you get then vegetables
kind of feta cheese whatever rumors
it's i see it also a little bit lebanese
style
yeah i love it really love it so
so this is really really really a hot
spot
and so yeah or you can say it's also
cheap it doesn't cost a lot of money so
if you're in town and you want to spend
a lot of money in the club
but you are hungry you can spend a
little bit of money
right before the club over there and how
did i get
there that's also funny i was playing
last year uh
um a lovely festival and they had a kind
of food truck
there and these guys they gave me yeah
one of their syrian
flatbreads um and it was so delicious
i was playing and can you imagine an
artist who's eating
it's not it's not a nice viewer but i
was so
enjoying this sandwich because i was so
hungry and i ordered
another one because it was so fucking
good
and so afterwards i go to this this
stand and i really say guys
what the fuck was this so
these guys did a really good job and
then afterwards i get
i got their cards and then i got to know
it was just in brussels so it was just
because they were on a nice festival
on the right spot and since then i've
always been promoting them as the spots
to go
if you need a quickie because it's a
really small
place they can seat maybe 20 people
not more but and you have to be lucky
that you can get a table
because it's also but you you could also
do takeaway
so in any case just go there
uh if you're finished with your food and
you've also been in cafe belga
then it's time to club so the clubbing
part in brussels
the most famous club of course is fuse
it's already there for
i think 25 years now um they keep on
surviving
even in this difficult period in this
period even they're doing an open air
concept in brussels
instead of the clubbing part because the
clubs still
are unfortunately closed but
open air by fuse is still ongoing
so you just need to book one of the
tables
and every week they have two days where
they
offer nice nice lineups so
if you're planning to go to brussels
it's uh
it's fuse open air right now but if the
clubs reopen
then just go to the club itself amazing
sound system
um it's partly renewed this year even
it looks great they have two rooms
lower room upper room they program
quite diverse in the in the house
section so on techno it's most
on saturdays it's mostly uh banging
techno on friday
they could do a paul college brenner
akalsh
um joris fern um
i've already played there several times
with these guys
i played in the upper room in the in the
big room
both are really really cozy so uh
yeah it's just the club to go in
brussels
dear clubbers but only fashionistas and
fashion dudes and whatever
uh you like food you got it i gave you
already a good place to dance and i gave
you already good place to drink
but now it's also the place to
buy your sneakers so as a sneaker addict
um real addict i have a few
shops in belgium which i could recommend
and one of them is reservoir in brussels
they always have the best collections of
new balance the most exclusive ones
which i can
can't find nowhere um
and they also have uh clothing but
mainly uh they focus on sneakers and
i love their collections so it's also
not so far from uh
plus flaget so tanur
belga cafe a fuse
and reservoir it's all in the same uh
in the same area so you don't have need
a car
or whatever you just can walk all these
things perfect store
there's another uh lovely spot if you
really like
wine um then you can go to saint kilda
sentila is a very
a small place i could can't even define
what it is is it a bar
is it a restaurant is it
yeah it's a little bit of everything
it's they call it themselves an
open restaurant so they don't have a
fixed
menu let's say they just have what the
chef wants you to serve
but it's all fresh it's all uh yeah
i i think it's very creative so every
time when i went there
i always received something like okay
this combination
i would never thought of and it's so
good
so if you want to be a little bit amazed
then you should go there and the wines
they they offer it's also a wine
distributor so
he has also all all kinds of wines from
all over the world so
a little uh little wine and uh some nice
food
uh saying kilda is the place to be so
would also go there if i resume
hey hey big words and uh the grande
finale to say it in
italian um so dalino is the best
italian uh i could say in the world i've
eaten in already
so many italians so many pizzas all over
the world
but dalino is is really the place
so it's run by the family
the grandfather is still there uh
as the the the guy the metre who
uh who gives the people into the
restaurant
and really but he's like always not in a
good mood
but really like the italian
like okay welcome yes
so the the guy has four
uh beautiful uh children or five
beautiful children
four of them are guys and they all work
in the same restaurant so
these brothers run the restaurant right
now and
the best pizza in your life will be
there
unfortunately it's a little bit outside
of brussels so
you have to take a cab or or
have a friend or whatever but really do
it
you will not it's worth it so you will
not complain
um and my advice take a pizza
with um black truffle
and mozzarella de buffalo it already
starts
okay i'm gonna eat pizza tonight it's
clear dalino is aventam
so you got it all you got food sneakers
uh drinking clubbing what do you need
more
perfect information for a weekend in
brussels no
guys thank you for watching i am nico
morano for
the rrp and have a nice day
