Guidebook for Saint-Gilles
Drinks & Nightlife
Jester
Cool decor, cinema showing old films, nice place to have a drink or three.
Beer Heaven! They have... thousands of beers available and the waiters know their stuff. No cola served. This place takes taking beer seriously seriously.

Essentials
Comarkt Gent (Wilsonplein)
Closest supermarket.
Everything Else
Big daily flea market (mornings) - best to go during the week for the better deals, and be prepared to bargain prices down.

Lots of bars, coffee places and restaurants on this square - also down the little cobbled streets just nearby (rue de la forg, rue du moskou). Wonderful to hang out on a terrace with a beer in summer.

Place Maurice van Meenen
Architecturally impressive St Gilles Town Hall.
This slightly random-seeming tower used to be part of the old wall surrounding the city. It's been very well restored and hosts a museum with some impressive suits of armor and weapons.

Food Scene
La Porteuse d'Eau
Art Nouveau decor and good standard Belgian fare.
Everything mushroom related. Truly exceptionally delicious food. Not cheap, as such, but definitely worth every penny.

The best frites in Brussels, which basically means the best frites anywhere, in my opinion. I won't even sully these gems of Belgian cuisine by saying that "frites" means "french fries" (;

This bar hosts a puppet theater that is part of Brussels' heritage. The very tongue in cheek and over the top performances are done primarily in Brusseleer (flemish/french hybrid).
