Delirium Cafe

Imagine, you are in the capital of Beerland… you have gawked at the Grand'Place and keeping your mouth open marvelling at the scene made your throat dry. In search of a place to drink, you managed to avoid the lure of the waiters of rue des Bouchers, in a tiny street, you notice what looks like a pink elephant. Yes, a pink elephant. You have reached the Delirium Cafe. Go down the stairs and find yourself in an 18th century cave. Look around, all you see are vintage beer adds… In fact, you will probably be drinking sitting around a beer barrell. You are asking for the menu, that's when the waiters come to you with… yes… several menus and it's as big as a phone book! In fact, there are at least 2000 of them but the number can jump to more than 3000 from home and abroad, it depends. I know… things can get a little dizzy even before your lips have even touched the brew. If you are not sure what you'd like, ask the staff. Would like a blonde? A blanche? A brown? Amber? Sweet? Sour? Something typical of Brussels and the area? A trappist maybe? All you need is ask.

But beer is not the only thing… Jenever, Belgium's other alcohol is also available and they have a wide collection of it.

The prices are also quite reasonnable if you consider the location and when you go out, don't forget to say Hi to Manneken Pis's little sister Jeanneke.

Last thing : you can check out the "menu" online. It's worth being prepared: http://www.deliriumcafe.be
