"Both Peacock": New Art Cafe

during a lazy walk to Saint-Gilles, I came across a tiny jewel that has not yet appeared in any tourist guide town here that for the first time since I live in Brussels, I felt a sense of ownership in respect of a place. The occasion of the "Parcous d'artistes "has helped me overcome the blockade and to share my secret with close friends. But so far I have carefully refrained from disclosing the news to a wide audience.
Now I think it is high time that everyone can enjoy a few pleasant hours spent in "Les deux
Paons ", a tiny 25 m2 of cafes, art nouveau temple where everything - from liquor to violet, to photographs, from the authentic service in china for tea bags in linen "Mariage Frères" - back to the Belle Epoque.
It 's a place "different" because he was conceived and made with love and dedication by the owner, Olivia Delwart, who a few years ago fell in love with art nouveau building of the cabinet, at 77, rue d'Albanie and decided to give it new life, making them the prestige they deserve and will certainly had known of here in one hundred years ago. Olivia, has studied all the smallest details: for two years he has designed as the interior decorating - on the outside we had already thought about in the early François Hemelsoet 900 - sought services, lamps, photographs and postcards, picture frames and table in secondhand trades in and around Brussels, and opened his chest no more than two years ago.
winter, on a rainy day is a real pleasure, the atmosphere is warm and intimate: you can read in peace surrounded by no more than two or three other players. In summer you can enjoy the sun staying in one of three tables arranged neatly on the sidewalk. True pride of ownership is the toilet that she should just take the picture.

Belgian artists: Belgian artist Franz San Gennaro Pizza Masareel

Thanks to my mother a few years ago, in Italy, I met this Belgian artist. His work, highly topical, especially in these times (!), And its stroke so modern I was motivated to do some research. I was hoping to find something more, and why not, an exhibition scheduled for 2008 in Brussels or elsewhere. For now nothing, but who knows someone you do not think ...

Franz Masereel (Blankenberge (Belgium), July 31, 1889 - Avignon January 3, 1972) is considered one of the largest wood and wood engravers of the twentieth century. Mon Livre d'Heures, a full graphic novel (without words) is considered his masterpiece. His work has influenced the artistic production of Clifford Haperi and Eric Drooker.
Franz Masereel belonged to a wealthy family that allowed him to attend the art academy in Ghent.
During his artistic training came to anarchism and pacifism, and the outbreak of World War fled to Geneva. Here he met writers and artists such as Romans left Rolland Stefan Zweig, who became friends for life.

Alexandria Interarms 7mm

and Jupiler: Has Arnone's & Sons

The best pizza in town is made by Mr. Arnone who recently Decided to open a pizzeria just in front of His Italian grocery in Chausée de Waterloo, 70 in Saint-Gilles. Having tried before Several pizzas in Brussels, I can definitely suggest to try the San Gennaro at the "Brothers Arnone. From the menu you can choose from a wide variety of pizzas that you can’t even find in Italy and experience also the proverbial Italian hospitality which is more and more difficult to find in Italy nowadays.
Be aware that Arnone & Sons is not exactly that kind of posh and trendy places a tourist would imagine to get into in the capital of Europe. It looks more like a real pizzeria you could find in the outskirt of whatever city in the South of Italy: red and white checked tablecloths, a sailing ship entirely made with toothpick on a shelf, a cowbell hanging from it, Coca-cola advertising posters from the eighties all over the place, a luminous image of San Gennaro near by the cash desk and Mr Arnone making pizza while chatting with clients in a funny French-italian language coloured by a strong Sicilian accent. The pizza is the biggest one I have eaten ever since I live Brussels. All ingredients are fresh and tasty and the pizza dough is crisp and light.It’s the right place to go with a bunch of friend to have a good dinner feeling like being at home.
