What to do in Brussels
in November ?

You have to admit, November is absolutely not the sexiest month of the year. It is getting colder and colder, Christmas holidays are still playing hard to get and the days are getting shorter and shorter. So to avoid depression, I suggest you a list of activities to do in Brussels! Whether it’s new restaurants to test, good shopping plans, cocooning plans or cultural outings, we’ll take you on a tour of the highlights of November. Between a cocooning evening and an outing with friends, which activity will you choose? 

Food

• The Barn : November means the return of good winter dishes! So instead of getting depressed, we prepare good little meals for ourselves with family or friends to cheer us up. And it’s a good thing because on November 7, 2019, The Barn made its debut at Fernand-Coq (Ixelles). This covered market offers to its customers 100% organic and bulk products! Baked vegetables, spaghetti bolognese or butternut gratin, you can make all these good recipes with quality products. So, to the ovens!

The Barn
Rue de la Tulipe 22, 1000 Bruxelles
Opening on the 09/11/19

• The poet : Cocooning evenings at home are for sure nice but we can also break this November grayness by going out to discover The poet! This new restaurant located in the heart of the European district draws its universe from the local spirit of the business district. In addition to being a restaurant, this place is also a centre of culture and sharing.

• Bruxelles en scène: The Brussels Festival has set itself the challenge of honouring local culture. What could be better than theatre, humour, improvisation, stand-up or music to cheer us up and bring us the sun? This festival is a good opportunity to get out of your home and meet those who make up Brussels’ cultural identity. We meet in small theaters, bars or cafés to discover artists who will give us punch and especially a smile!

• Black Friday : What could be better than a little online shopping, especially at low prices, to fight the gloom of the rainy November weather? On November 29, 2019, the famous Black Friday will come back to titillate us. A bag spotted for months, a pair of shoes that have been making eyes at you for weeks or a little cracking, any excuse will be good to let yourself be seduced by the broken prices while staying warm! So, starting block, 3,2,1,1, … go!
