Weekday Lunch in Brussels?

[Portofino]

Thought I would try to resurrect this now the holidays are over....As I recall Thursday/Fridays were best for most people.....anyone interested?

[Longtime]

Me, me! Thursday or Friday are ok for me. Tuesday's ok if it's a bit later.

[Tamasin]

Friday for me! (Sarah)

[frazzlenz]

me too. Thurs and Fri best for me too...though not next Friday ;)

[Portofino]

Fri 7th October?

[BestImitationOfMyself]

Sounds good. I can do Friday 7th, or most Thursdays and Fridays. Will be great to meet you all!

[RuthChan]

I can probably come too.
Would have DS in tow too though. I hope that's ok...

[Longtime]

How about you all come to mine first for a French class and then go straight after?

Though I guess that wouldn't suit you RuthChan as you'll have to go back out to pick up ds.

Just a thought.

[RuthChan]

Yes, I have to be in Waterloo at 12.00 to pick up DS from school.
Unless I can rope someone into collecting and keeping him for me for a couple of hours.
Tempting idea...

[frazzlenz]

Friday the 7th is good for me :)

[natation]

enjoy lunch, I work thursdays and fridays and lunch break there is 45 minutes if I'm very very lucky.

[gastrognome]

Would have been nice to come along and meet you all but I will be in the UK then. Enjoy your lunch though!

[Portofino]

Natation, we can always organise one on a different day of the week. I can always do lunch! The food in the canteen at work is awful!

[NichyNoo]

At the moment Friday 7th is good for me...I will schedule 'important client lunch' into my work diary

DH is away that week so I would have to duck out if DS gets ill and can't go to creche but otherwise should be fine.

[Portofino]

Where shall we go? Someone near the Bourse/St Gery? Or any special requests?

[Portofino]

As long as I can easily get there by public transport from the Gare du Nord, I am quite flexible.

[frazzlenz]

I'm good as long as its close to the metro.

[Longtime]

Close to a metro for me too please!

[Portofino]

There is a nice Thai near to the Bourse that does a reasonable set lunch. I can't remember what it is called, of course....

[Portofino]

or Tapas?

[BestImitationOfMyself]

Well I'm just a newcomer but I hope it's the one we noticed near Bourse metro, as couldn't forget the name: "Fanny Thai". Tapas sounds lovely too.

[BestImitationOfMyself]

Just found out I'm working next Friday so won't make it along (also means I'll miss your French class Longtime, sorry). Hope you have a lovely lunch and I get the chance to meet you all next time.

[Longtime]

Hi Best, glad to hear you've got some work! Don't worry about the French classes as I haven't started them yet. Not sure if I'm going to as everyone seems to have other commitments. I'll have to see.

[CPrunner]

hi - i'd be interested in lunch and french classes and meeting up in general. I'm having a bit of a hard time getting settled in brussels, finding my way around, and i'm hoping to meet people who have been in similar situation.

[amyboo]

OOOh - only just seen this one. I'd love to do lunch, but work too far from the metro to make it to Bourse and back in a lunchbreak. Let me know if you organise one nearer to Schuman/Montgomery/Ixelles...

[Portofino]

Schuman/Montgomery isn't a problem for me. I guess not for others if they are coming from Stockel/Auderghem via Metro. Anyone CAN'T get there easily? Any suggestions for eating places. I think I have mostly been in the pubs round there. I know there is a reasonable Indian restaurant nearby. I am guessing we might need to book as it will be busy lunchtime....?
