Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday, visitors to Anderlecht can find Belgium's biggest markets, situated on the grounds of the Abattoirs D'Anderlecht. Over 100,000 visitors come weekly to peruse the best of local produce, from fresh bread to locally crafted artisan products. A special feature of the market is the Freshmarket, where discerning seafood connoisseurs can find the freshest fish; top chefs from around the city have been known to make their purchases here. The markets are a perfect way to spend a relaxed, but lively weekend morning.
Fishermen sailed (and later steamed) into the heart of Brussels, selling their fresh fish in this charming square. Many of the fishmongers who peddled here decided to stay, and now this whole neighborhood is teeming with seafood spots. During the day this is a teeming fish market, and it's one of the oldest in the city. You can find luxurious restaurants as well as stalls where you can barter for the freshest catch.
