https://alamortsubite.com/en - The Sudden Death beer hall - named after people playing games in their lunchtimes and finishing with a sudden death game. Also highly recommend the Atomium but that is on the outskirts (on the circular bus tour)
Been a couple of years, but Cafe De Halles and area around were good for a mix of social drinking, art and architecture. In the more generic, Stoofvlees is always a good idea when it's cold. And really nice afternoon kebabs too.
I was just about to say ‘MIMA’ (Millennium Iconoclast Museum of Art) Brussels – but it closed 2 weeks ago. Permanently. What a pity! They always had strong exhibitions.
Otherwise, I was impressed by the ‘House of European History’. Good temp exhibitions next to the permanent one.

Things that are nearly impossible to avoid: Mannekin Pis. Tatty reproductions are everywhere in the tourist areas
