I'm American and live in Belgium (about half way between Brussels and Antwerp). Also a creative and a mother. Just stumbled upon your post via Notes, so happy I did! I've stayed at the Hotel des Galeries and you were right to avoid it for a family visit. It's cute but petite and super loud - the Galeries doesn't sleep. Next time you're there I love a Syrian restaurant right near the Grand Place called BALADI. Eat upstairs if you can for the elevated cozy decor. Super happy to connect with you, Maddy! x
Hi Rachael! Thanks so much for reading and leaving such a thoughtful response:) And glad to hear about the Hotel des Galeries and also your other recs! I will have to bookmark these for next time. So happy to connect with you as well!
