There’s a stunning new spot to eat out on the edge of the Brussels forest. The Fox food market occupies the ground floor of the former Royal Belge office building on the Boulevard du Souverain.
The concrete and glass building is an inspiring example of mid-century modern Belgian architecture. But the interior has been given a quirky new look with furniture by the Brussels designer Lionel Jadot and the cooperative Ateliers Zaventem.
The airy food hall has a dozen or so stands offering upmarket streetfood from Israel, Latin America, North Africa and Japan, along with coffee, cakes and cocktails. Open every day from noon until late.
