CULTURE
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.
The Belgian Brasserie, led by Belgian chef Alexandre Binard, offers a new gastronomic experience: happy hour with Belgian tapas, traditional crepes, a delicious chocolate, crispy french fries and the world-renowned beers, as well as other typical delicacies.
Breakfast is varied and tasty with many options, from the traditional Belgian chocolate to the very Brazilian tapioca.
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.
