Fodor's Expert Review Cafe Maison de Peuples

The hipster-dense Parvis de Saint-Gilles area is stuffed with great bars, but this popular joint is among the more pristine.

It's named after a demolished Victor Horta--designed building, the loss of which is often used as one of the worst examples of Brussels's gentrification.
