7 Rue de l'Hôpital Brussels 1000 Belgium +32 (0)2 512 49 62 |
Au Grand Rasoir - Maison Jamart has been Court Supplier for ages. And once you have entered this store, you know it for sure. Once you become king or queen this is the only kind of shop you would be deigning to visit. Knives, scissors, razors and pocket knives are on display in the window. Here you will find anything that is sharp. And once inside, you might think you just went back forty years in time. Magnificent counter, of course, for even the shop's sign itself already evokes nostalgia. There is a workshop where cutlery is (re)silvered and where knives and scissors are ground and repaired. When dining in the Royal Palace you cut your finger - here's the guilty party. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Tintin is a comic written by Hergé, a.k.a. George Rémi, born in Brussels on May 22, 1907. The comics have been translated into more than 50 languages, which makes Tintin famous all over the world. In 1984, the first shop with Tintin designer objects was opened in London. Shortly afterwards, Tintin shops were opened in Brussels, Tokyo, Barcelona, Montréal, Lisbon, Kyoto, Dubai and even on the Internet. You can buy comics in various languages, figures, rugs and other designer objects. In the back of the shop you will find a clothes shop, also dedicated to Tintin. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Specialist shop dedicated to Belgian beers |
56 Rue du Marché aux Herbes Brussels 1000 Belgium +32 (0)2 502 1906 |
A beer paradise like Belgium needs its temples, like this one: one of the best specialised beer shops in town. Ever since 1996, you can buy your favourite beer by bottle or crate, or packed in the most creative ways: why not have a meter of beer? And for those who are not supposed to have any alcohol, there are all kinds of nice things related to beer, like original T-shirts of famous beer brands, beer mats and typical beer glasses.

Football Club Anderlecht |
2 Théo Verbeecklaan Brussels 1070 Belgium +32 (0)2 523 5090 http://commerce.sage.com/rsca/ |
The Fanshop RSC Anderlecht was opened in 1997 on the initiative of the wife of Roger Vanden Stock, president of the football club Anderlecht. The majority of the items sold here are sports garments such as football shirts, tracksuits and anoraks. You can buy sportswear with or without the names of the Anderlecht footballers emblazoned on them. In 1998, the Fanshop started a mail-order shopping service, thus Anderlecht realised that they have fans abroad too— in France, in the United States of America and in Australia.

 Well-known Belgian chocolatier |
22 Grand Place 22 Brussels 1000 Belgium +32 (0)2 511 2537 http://www.godiva.com/ |
Where else than on Grand Place would you find the Brussels shop of Godiva, the best-known Belgian chocolatier? There are five other shops in this city, but let us see this one as a symbol. And by the way, though their delectable pralines are still made in Brussels, the firm of Godiva has long ago been swallowed by an American company, makers also of Campbell's soup. A fancy Grand Place tin filled with an assortment including "Coeur de Bruxelles" (heart of Brussels) in milk chocolate costs EUR24. Godiva also has special chocolate gifts for all occasions.

 Never send just a postcard from Brussels! |
50 Spoormakersstraat Brussels 1000 Belgium +32 (0)2 513 4730 http://www.plaizier.be/ |
Magnificent art shop, just around the corner from Grand Place. The shop has a very low doorway so watch your head. Most customers just come here for the huge collection of postcards which are original, always artistic and sometimes riotously funny. He who doesn't look any further than the postcards though misses a lot, as there is also a small but well-chosen range of books, diaries and posters. A great place to pick up a present, but beware, for you are bound to buy far more than you had planned on. Review © 2007, Wcities |
