restaurants/cafes

I will be staying in the Four Points Sheraton in a weeks time, can you recommend any informal bistro type restaurants or bars for dinner and cafes for breakfast, near to the hotel.

Thanks

Your hotel is off rue Lesbroussart close to Avenue Louise and across the road from the rue du Bailli. In that area you are really spoilt for choice. For breakfast, there is an Illy coffeeshop on the corner of Lesbroussart and Louise; the Coffee Club - if it opens early enough - on the left hand side of rue du Bailli (looking towards the church); a %26quot;Pain Quotidien%26quot;-type café close to this; a place with a boring name like Le Sandwich on the opposite side of the street that claims to serve full English breakfasts; and a nice café called Le Passiflore at the far end of the street opposite the church.

For dinner perhaps you would like Lucas (although it may be a bit more formal for dinner than for lunch) next to the Michael Collins on Avenue Louise, or just walk up rue du Bailli and then turn left into the place du Châtelain, where there are quite a few restaurants. Or for that matter, walk down Lesbroussart to Place Flagey - although the roadworks there are still horrendous - where there are lots of cafés and brasseries, although I can%26#39;t recommend any in particular (Café Belga in the steamboat-like building is currently rather trendy). If you like vegetarian food, Tsampa in rue de Livourne (first turning on the right off rue du Bailli, and it%26#39;s just a little way up on the left) is very informal and good for eating alone; the restaurant is behind the shop so you can pretend to be looking around the shop while checking it out to see if it appeals.

Many thanks, this is really helpful.
