At lunch, we created a menu that changes daily, with delicious starters and main dishes, featuring red or white meat, besides a vegetarian option.

During the day, you can enjoy the traditional Koffie Bar, where we serve delicious crepes, muffins and quiches, as well as a varied menu of sweets and desserts with lots of Belgian chocolate!

At night, we offer the Executive and the “Bapas” menus, which are appetizers that blend well with the famous Belgian beers.

Belga Brasserie has a cozy atmosphere, perfect for business lunches or happy hours.

The Brasserie hours are Monday thru Friday from 6:30am to 10pm.

Inaugurated in the recently revitalized Historical Center, where new attractions bring together cariocas and tourists, the Belga Hotel is just a few steps from Porto Maravilha’s exciting cultural life.

Those who want to enjoy samba can go to the traditional Pedra do Sal. If you prefer art exhibitions, there are plenty of options such as Banco do Brasil Cultural Center (CCBB), Rio Art Museum (MAR) and Casa França -Brazil. There is also AquaRio, the largest aquarium in South America and the Museum of Tomorrow, the city’s newest cultural attraction.

For those who enjoy the nightlife, there is The Week, a renowned club in Rio, or Trapiche da Gamboa and the bars in Lapa – the Rio that never sleeps.

Orla Conde

The new Orla Conde, in the Port Areaa, is a public tour with 3.5 km of length, linking Cais do Porto Warehouse 8 to Praça da Misericórdia, where the National Historical Museum is located. Walking along Orla Conde is an invitation to relaxation and contemplation, giving visitors the opportunity to see a new angle of the city. Orla Conde is just a 10-minute walk from the Belga Hotel.

CCBB

Banco do Brasil Cultural Center occupies the historic number 66 of Primeiro de Março street, in Downtown, a building of neoclassical lines that in the past was connected to finance and business. Inaugurated on October 12, 1989, CCBB quickly became one of the most important cultural centers today, hosting the main contemporary art exhibitions in the country. CCBB is one of the 100 most visited museums in the world according to the English publication, The Art Newspaper. It is an eight-minute walk from the Belga Hotel.

Aquario

With an area of 26,000 m² and 4.5 million liters of water, AquaRio is the largest marine aquarium in South America and has about 8,000 animals from 350 different species on display. Lots of unprecedented attractions, impressive venues and tanks, and all the necessary infrastructure provide a pleasant and educational entertainment to the public. AquaRio also has a strong museological component: the Science Museum. Permanent and temporary exhibitions on the most varied topics related to the marine and aquatic environment will be available to add more knowledge to visitors and to ensure the preservation of archives and scientific collections. The best way to get to AquaRio from the Belgian Hotel is by taking the VLT (Light Rail Vehicle).

Confeitaria Colombo

Founded in 1894, Confeitaria Colombo made history in Rio. For more than a century Colombo has been one of the most respected commercial houses in the country. Today it is part of the city’s cultural and artistic heritage. One can not tell the story of Confeitaria Colombo without associating it with Rio’s urban history. Located at Gonçalves Dias street, less than a 10-minute walk from the Belga Hotel.

MAR

Rio’s Art Museum (MAR) was inaugurated in 2013. Located in downtown Rio, near the district’s main avenue, Rio Branco, the museum occupies two buildings in Praça Mauá, between the Center and Portuary area. Among the highlights is the magnificent view from the terrace, where lies the concrete sheet that unites the two buildings. MAR is only a 10-minute walk from the Belga Hotel.

São Bento Monastery

Rio’s Mosteiro de São Bento was founded in 1590 by two Portuguese monks who had arrived from Bahia twenty-four years after the city’s foundation. It was the second religious order to establish a home in Rio de Janeiro, with the Benedictines being preceded only by the Jesuits. In 1596 the Monastery was already consolidated, in an appropriate place, where it still stands. On Sundays, at 10:00 am, the famous mass with Gregorian chants is celebrated. The monastery is approximately an 8-minute walk from the Belga Hotel.

Museu do Amanhã

The Museu do Amanhã (Museum of Tomorrow) is a project by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and was built next to Praça Mauá, in the port area. Today it is one of the city’s main cultural attractions. One of the reasons the museum was built was to strengthen Rio’s cultural and international identity. As one of the anchors of the urban revitalization project called Porto Maravilha, the museum received in 2015, as a donation, the sculpture Puffed Star II, by the renowned American artist Frank Stella. The purpose of the museum is to make visitors aware of their contribution to the future. It is a sensory experience, made through interactive technologies. The Museum of Tomorrow is approximately a 10-minute walk from the Belga Hotel.

Praça XV Fair

A Paradise of relics where you can find a little bit of everything when it comes to old and used objects, the traditional antiques fair takes place at Praça XV since 1970. Initially, most of the merchants were under the extinct Perimetral viaduct. Since the demolition, all the 700 exhibitors have settled in the middle of the square, with their most varied and unusual pieces. Rio de Janeiro is one of the largest antique granaries in Brazil. The Portuguese Royal Family arrival in 1808 also brought the Court and all these families’ personal objects that have spread through the generations. Objects of affective value, such as a particular vinyl, a special edition of a comic book, a toy or an old photograph, among many other pieces so equally valuable to some, are easily found in this traditional fair, a great option for Saturdays. The Fair happens every Saturday from 6am to 2pm. Praça XV is approximately a 12-minute walk from the Belga Hotel.
