Summer’s back in Brussels: Our Favorite Rooftop Hot Spots 

Sun’s out, fun’s out! Whether you’re in the mood for sunset cocktails or a great place to have lunch, soak up summer at some of our favorite rooftops. Most are tried and true Morton Place favorites, and others are hot spots we’ve recently discovered.  

58 – Rooftop

A firm favorite with MP – this former parking rooftop has been transformed into Europe’s  largest all-year outdoor & indoor rooftop bar with a 360° view on Brussels. This fun and energetic bar is located right in the heart of downtown Brussels just off the pedestrian area. If you are taking friends or visitors on a tour through central Brussels this is a great destination with both alocholic and non alcoholic drinks as well as crowd pleasing finger food. And in the unfortunate chance there is rain, the indoor space is equally fun. There is often a long line of eager visitors we recommend making a reservation online, and skip the wait!

Monday- Sunday but hours depend on the weather so check the website!  https://www.58.brussels/infos

 

Tope at The Hoxton

The Hoxton hotel’s rooftop restaurant Tope boasts a spectacular view and great food. Head to this Mexican-inspired terrasse for an apéro afterwork if you’re at nearby Madou, or it’s the perfect place for glamorous cocktails if you happen to be enjoying an evening at the Botanique, either way it’s worth the detour!  The extensive bar menu includes all the classics, plus tequila & mezcal speciality cocktails to pair with trios of tacos  — from the al pastor, to the vegetarian Coliflor, and several variations of chicken, beef and shrimp. Tope is sure to prolong the memories of your summer holiday!  

Tope at The Hoxton, Square Victoria Régina 1, 1210 Brussels  

Mon-Thurs 17:00 to midnight // Fri-Sat 15:00 to 01:00 // Sun 15:00 to midnight

 

Perché 

Perché is a long-time MP Chatelain house favorite so make it your neighborhood bar all summer long too! Perched on the roof of the nearby JAM hotel, we can attest that Perché is the ultimate staycation location. The brave will take a dip in the pool while sipping a signature cocktail (can we say Thym Sour and Pineapple Daiquiri anyone?!) Or just tuck into bar snacks while admiring your neighborhood from a new vantage point. Perche? Pourquoi, pas? 

 

Perché at the JAM Hotel, 6th Floor, Chaussée de Charleroi 132, 1060 Saint Gilles

Everyday from 17:00 to 01:00 

Albert 

Libraries aren’t just for reading, especially at the Royal Library of Belgium. So, ditch the books and head to the sprawling 2200 m2 rooftop terrasse for a Brussels experience like no other. While the hours are limited to align with the bibliothèque, maybe you can duck out of work early to catch the incredible views with a beverage & snack in hand. Or bring your laptop along and keep working at one of the many comfortable spaces! Best of all you can book a table here for weekend brunch too which features a delicious buffet. 

 

Albert, KBR Building, 5th Floor, Mont des Arts 28, 1000 Brussels

Everyday from 9:00 to 17:00
