La Roue d'Or — Brussels brasserie near the Grand-Place

La Roue d'Or, a Brussels institution just a stone's throw from the Grand-Place

At 26 Rue des Chapeliers, just a stone's throw from the Grand-Place, La Roue d'Or is a true Brussels institution. The venue presents itself as a traditional brasserie adorned with original wood panelling and stained glass windows, transporting guests to the elegance of the Belle Époque. The wall frescoes, a vibrant tribute to Magritte, add an artistic touch to this warm setting — and the establishment traces its history back 70 years.
