A relaxed morning on Avenue Louise

Between the boutiques, the leafy avenue and the park nearby, this part of Ixelles invites you to slow down. Whether you are grabbing a coffee before work, meeting a friend, or settling in with your laptop, our light-filled café is made for unhurried mornings.

What to order for breakfast

• Bread & butter — simple and good, with add-ons like jam, Comté AOP, salmon, eggs or avocado.
• Pancakes — four slices with maple syrup (and chocolate, fresh fruit or banana split if you are feeling indulgent).
• Bowls — granola, açaí or overnight oats for a lighter start.
• Eggs — scrambled or soft-boiled, your way.

Of course, none of it is complete without a proper coffee — from a classic espresso to a creamy latte.

Opening hours

Café de la Presse Cambre is open Monday to Friday from 7:30 am and weekends from 8:30 am — so whether you are an early bird or a slow weekend starter, breakfast is ready when you are.
