7.6/10 Good! (559 reviews)

El lugar está muy bien ubicado aunque cuando pides un Uber o Bolt no saben cómo llegar siempre te recogen el cruzar la calle en Thon hotel. Hay muchísimos lugares para comer y muy variados. Está muy cercano para ir caminando a La Gran Place, El Maneken Pis etc etc etc. también está muy cercano al restaurante Wolf (el cual recomiendo altamente pues tiene variedad de comida de diferentes partes del mundo).
