Floriane's Favourites in Brussels
Shops in Brussels, craftspeople, restaurants and initiatives that I would like you to discover.
Because behind every shop, every restaurant, every business or every project, there are above all people, hard work and passion. Here, I share with you my favourites, my discoveries and the great initiatives that deserve to be highlighted.

DO-Wolf — House of Flowers & Christmas Magic
🛍️ Shops · Brussels
Rue Haute, in the heart of the Marolles: 800 m² over two floors where flowers, Christmas, decoration and creativity blend together. A visit that quickly turns into a journey.
Because behind a beautiful shop, there is above all a human story. The former New De Wolf boutique had been part of the Rue Haute landscape since 1960. Damien chose to take over this story and give it a new lease of life with DO-Wolf. And that is precisely what I love highlighting here: enterprising people, shopkeepers taking risks, passionate creators, and places that bring our neighbourhoods to life. And above all, projects that make you want to keep discovering Brussels differently.Find out more
