Here is your answer. https://www.loungeclub.com/en/our-lounges/lounge-detail/BRUC

But that is not how I got in, by the way.

There is, but even 10 mins walk.
You want some buffer zone.
No shower on the train.
Thanks. Any names of a place so I can Google Maps it?

Eden a milky place, with some salads juices, etc

Time Out a pizza place (they might deliver to the entrance of the train station)

Lama Lo upper class meaty Mediterranean style restaurant, not take away

Al Haesh good shwarma and the likes

Hoffy's meaty typical ashkenazi Jewish food

Most important is to make sure they are open when you are there.

Thank you! I'll google them and call to see if they're open.

Is balhatzar still open?  It was OK at most but when you're super hungry it helps.

Best way to get from airport to Grand Place (and back)? From what I've read upthread it seems traffic is bad in Brussels, and the train is coming up as 17 euro a person- seems high.

On second glance, 17 roundtrip. So not too bad. Would this be the most recommended way then?

Thanks. The link leads me to a restaurant site, not public transportation.

Thanks!

Going to be in BRU for a 23 hr stopover. It seems that the only kosher restaurant, Balthazar, shut down. So a kosher market is the only option for food?
