I'M LEAVING MY FRIENDS AFTER INTRODUCING SOME BULGARIAN TREATS (LIKE THESE BULGARIAN TYPE BAGELS) TO THEM. BACK TO PARIS WHERE I'LL HAVE SOME TIME TO POST A FEW MORE PHOTOS OF MY BALKAN STORIES. PHOTO BY VINCENT.

TO CLOSE THE BRUSSELS CHAPTER, HERE IS AN AMAZING RESTAURANT ADDRESS. EXCELLENT PRODUCTS (MOST OF THEM ORGANIC), GREAT MEALS, NICE TABLES OUTSIDE AND VERY LOW PRICES (AT LEAST COMPARED TO PARIS!). EVEN THOUGH THEY LOOKED SO DELICIOUS, I COULDN'T TASTE ANY DESSERT... I WAS TOO FULL! IT'S CALLED GAUDRON, 3 PLACE G. BRUGMANN, 1050 BRUSSELS. OPEN EVERYDAY, 7 AM TO 8 PM. PHOTOS BY CLARISSE DEMORY.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS AUTHENTIC "PATISSERIE CHOCOLATERIE" NAMED "AURORE CAPUCINE", "DAWN NASTURTIUM" IN ENGLISH.

THERE'S NO WEBSITE. THE SMALL FAMILY WHO RUNS THE SHOP DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A COMPUTER! THEY WORK REALLY HARD AND ARE SINCERELY KIND.

3 RUE DE ROCHECHOUART, PARIS 9E. FROM TUESDAY TO SATURDAY, 11.30AM-20.00PM. ALL PHOTOS BY CLARISSE DEMORY.

CAFE CACHE DU 104. DESIGN SEBASTIEN WIERINCK. CHEF DELPHINE ZAMPETTI

THIS IS MY CANTEEN. I THINK THE PHOTOS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES ! WELL, NO... THEY MAY LIE ON ONE THING : IT IS NOT AT ALL EXPENSIVE ! IT’S REALLY WORTH GOING AND TRY LOOK FOR IT INSIDE THE CONTEMPORARY ARTS CENTER CALLED 104, NEARBY HERE AND HERE. 104 RUE D’AUBERVILLIERS, PARIS 19E. FROM TUESDAY TO SATURDAY: 9AM-12AM, SUNDAY: 9AM-8PM.

!!! UPDATE !!!: SADLY THE CHEF LEFT! THE PLACE IS STILL VERY BEAUTIFUL BUT THE FOOD IS NOT ANYMORE AS IS USED TO BE...

Here is the Mast Brothers Chocolate manufacture in Brooklyn. What can we expect from these chocolate makers? Well... The world's best cacao from small family farms and coops? Done. A homemade handcraft from bean to bar chocolate? Done. Lovely wrappings? Done. Interior design in great taste? Done. Hmm... A friendly village atmosphere? Done! A beautiful stage for musicians! Done!!! OK I'll stop they are too good. Their blog.

All photos by Michael Mast except the portrait by the boys' friend Lucy Hamblin.

Sunday's brunch at home. Merci Virginie pour les photos!
