Summer vibes: Ice-cream or waffle?

We totally love this place! This is why we decided to share with you a sight of simple urban inspiration. There is nothing better during the summer months than enjoying an ice-cream or waffles at the Abbaye de la cambre / Ter Kameren Abdij in Elsene/Ixelles.

However, a lot of locals (not to mention the tourists) don’t know about this hidden corner, just a few steps away from the Avenue Louise. We will continue to share inspiring locations all around Brussels, and don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any cool suggestions! 🙂
