Mom in the garden of the Mont des Arts

Because I’m now working in Brussels, I thought it’d be fun to spend an afternoon exploring the city with my parents and seeing where I work. My dad was too sleepy due to jetlag, so my mom and I headed to Brussels! We didn’t have too much on the agenda – just wanted to walk around and enjoy a nice lunch at cowfish restaurant. cowfish is located right off of the luxury shopping street, the Boulevard de Waterloo, so it was the perfect location for us!

Right next to the Brussels Central Train Station is the beautiful Mont des Arts. I pass through literally every day – such a great way to start and end your day!

Our caipirinhas

Mom’s starter: green asparagus, serano ham, egg yolk with truffel, and ikura eggs

My starter: ceviche – queen scallops, shrimp, white fish marinated in lime and orange, cucumber, and avocado

We chose the same main: cold soba noodles with scallops, frizzy salad, grape oil, lime juice, and chives
