Places to visit

I am intrigued by American in Amsterdam's blog on his visit to Brussels. There are a couple of museums that he writes about that I would like to visit if I get a chance, so am making note of them here in case something happens and I can't access his blog in the future, or I forget where I saw them. These are the Musee Horta and the Atomium. Also, this restaurant sounds pretty good - the Belga Queen.

I have to check out all restaurant menus, because I don't eat seafood so like to make sure that there are other options, and though they are pretty heavy on the seafood, they do have an intriguing selection of non-seafood items, and the desserts (my favorite) sound pretty outstanding. Another interesting point, all ingredients and beverages are exclusively Belgian. Reservations in advance required!

And since I love cafes, the cafe he writes about as the oldest surviving cafe in Brussels, from the 1800s is going to have to be a must-see also - Le Cirio.

Thanks for the write-up James, Brussels sounds like a great place to visit!
