A thoughtful, well-written document, it takes inspiration from Pope Francis’ landmark encyclical Laudato Si' offering a reflection on subjects from the role of women in the Church to the value of non-Christian religious practices.  The other moment that struck me was the Pope’s stop in the beautiful neo-gothic Church of Saint Giles which provides breakfast to a number of homeless people every morning The Pope gifted the parish a statue of St Lawrence when asked to display the Church’s treasures chose to present the poorest members of the Christian community.   This menu spins Korean classics into new terrain ditching the traditional beef and sticky rice for duck-breast bulgogi and heukmi purple grains There’s fish flavors galore with piquant anchovies spicy octopus arms and a cracking mackerel Lovers of comfort cooking can scarf down the KFC (Korean-style Fried Chicken) and pajeon vegetable pancakes And don’t forget the booze: the Soju Negroni is as tart as it is heady.  It feels like their lust for fusion risks neglecting the basics The kimchi is pretty mild and lacks the oomph of a true winter fermentation The pickled banchan side dishes were slightly bland and there was no ramen — a travesty this author fears could worsen tensions with noodle-obsessed Pyongyang Nor were there any desserts (not even a green tea cake or bingsu shaved ice!) Some 15 tables stretch from the entrance to the kitchen with lots of wood and a wall dedicated to sweet messages left by satisfied diners The staff were friendly and extremely patient with me and my slow-eating companion.  which range from €12 to €17 for starters and €20 to €27 for mains with a bottle of apple-flavored soju costing €5 about the same as in the Asian stores in St Catherine (though a far-cry from the €1 of a Seoul 7-Eleven).  Spotted: Artsy types and East Asia aficionados POLITICO went for a Friday lunch in August so the Brussels powerbrokers were still lying on Mediterranean beaches Insider tip: Get the makgeolli rice wine and keep your afternoon open Fun fact: The restaurant is run by Korean-born a trained pharmacist and butcher who has become one of Belgium’s top gastronomic talents How to get there: It’s a six-minute walk from Louise metro station or a half-hour stroll from the European quarter.  Brussels tries to help an aging sector in terminal decline.

The project covers the whole of the Avenue du Parc between the Place Rochefort, bordering the Parc de Forest, the municipality's green lung, and the Barrière de Saint-Gilles, an urban traffic junction. The Barrière de Saint-Gilles has been experiencing a number of traffic and road safety problems for several years. Situated with the Avenue du Parc at the centre of the same traffic calming grid according to the Regional Mobility Plan, it seemed logical not to separate the Barrière from the Avenue in order to give the project an overall coherence. The main aims of the project are toimprove the quality of the public space, incorporate efficient rainwater management systems and improve road safety for all users. Avenue du Parc will be restructured to accommodate two new lines oftrees alongside the pavements. These will reinforce the character of the landscaped axis and the link with Forest Park, while at the same time structuring the rain gardens that will be created to buffer rainwater. Cyclists will be protected on separate cycle paths on the most dangerous stretches (uphill between Rochefort and avenue Clémentine, in the bottleneck approaching la Barrière, downhill approaching Rochefort) and will share the carriageway with cars on the rest of the avenue, which will become a cycle zone, where bicycles have priority and cars are not allowed to overtake them. Public transport stops will be restructured to ensure maximum accessibility for all. The ‘residual zones’ that currently occur at the crossroads with the various streets perpendicular to Avenue du Parc will be developed in order to activate them and turn them into pleasant relaxation areas. The Avenue du Parc ‘bottleneck’ will be changed to a one-way street heading in the direction of La Barrière towards Rue de la Perche (towards Rochefort). This, together with the relocation of the existing bus stops, will allow wider pavements and the cycle path to be laid out. The Barrière will be completely restructured: no more rails and switches running all around it, they will now cross it in the centre. This will lead to the relocation of the statue of the Water Bearer to its original location. The pavements will be widened and the width of the road reduced so as not to allow two cars to drive abreast, one of the main causes of accidents. The planned improvements will reinforce the roundabout character of the Barrière and clarify the associated priority system. ​CategoriesCategoriesEnglishGENERAL, JUSTICE, SOCIETYSaint-Gilles prison in Brussels to remain open in 202521 October 2024 Despite poor living conditions the prison of Saint-Gilles in Brussels will remain open in 2025 The plan was to close the second-oldest Belgian prison at the end of this year but that’s not possible as the new prison of Haren is already full after two years outgoing justice minister Paul Van Tigchelt declared that the possibility of keeping the Saint-Gilles prison open “is being examined” it has been clear for some time that the prison – 140 years old – will continue to house inmates next year The prison authorities now confirmed this to BRUZZ Overcrowding in Belgian prisons remains a persistent problem even after the opening of the Haren prison in Brussels it is already packed: there is room for 1,035 inmates France and Romania have higher overcrowding rates than Belgium Although Haren was partly created to replace the outdated cells of the Saint-Gilles prison the prison is now actually proving crucial for Haren “The capacity we have in Saint-Gilles is desperately needed to house Brussels prisoners,” spokesperson Kathleen Van De Vijver told BRUZZ The prison of Saint-Gilles currently holds 496 inmates a report by the prison's monitoring committee revealed that inmates in Saint-Gilles prison are plagued by scabies and pigeon droppings on window sills are causing diseases The prison of Saint-Gilles © BELGA PHOTO HATIM KAGHAT The restaurant was opened by a Palestinian couple — Nour and her husband Bob — only a few months ago “We opened on March 12 during the war,” Nour tells me “It’s a cultural project for us to talk about Gaza through the food.”  The menu is a well-thought-out combination of traditional dishes that Nour and Bob chose after discussions with mothers from Gaza We started with the Gaza appetizers — a set of dips and sauces accompanied by a Musakhan roll a wrap with chicken and caramelized onions inside We also tried the Maqluba — a rice dish with eggplants tomatoes and chicken — and ended with a Kunafa as dessert a crispy Arab cake made with phyllo pastry and sweet cheese soaked in sugar syrup Everything was delicious but our favorite were the appetizers The vegetarian options on the menu are limited You’ll feel as if you are dining among friends and family If you have any doubts or curiosity about the dishes don’t hesitate to ask: Nour and Bob will be happy to guide you Prices are reasonable with main plates ranging between €9.50 for the falafel salad and €22.50 for the lamb Only the Gaza appetizer is more expensive (€28) as it’s designed to be shared among a few people Drinks are between €2.50 for the bottled soft drinks and €4.50 for home-made fresh juices.  Fun fact: The name of the restaurant was inspired by the olive tree “It is an icon of our history and culture,” Nour explained.  How to get there: It’s in the heart of Saint Gilles then hop on the 92 tram and stop at La Campagne.  Illustration by Dato Parulava/POLITICO “Excellent result,” cheers former Polish PM Mateusz Morawiecki President Donald Trump’s efforts to end the conflict have proved fruitless so far An uptick in gang violence has seen more than a dozen shootings so far this year Russia has yet to prove it wants to end the war Please upgrade your browser to improve your experience Non-members can add the privileges at checkout through our 30 day free trial By continuing I accept the Terms & Condition and Privacy Policy.
