Re: Wining and Dining in Brussels!

Noobs big_smile

You're a dutchie, biefstukfriet, so I won't bother pointing out the finer things. But if you walk along the Zavel/ Sablon neighbourhood (known as 'Antique Row' cause of all the furniture and antique shops), there's good places in abundance. Stroll along the Hoogstraat / Rue Haute and neighbouring streets and pick one, and afterwards you can party at the Havana's. Wear light clothing though, they heat the place up to sell more booze, but it owns.

edit; How to get there? Take metro to Louisa, walk towards Palace of Justice, take the scenic elevator down, and you're there. smile The small square you exit the elevator on is called Rue d'ep

That sounds like unhealthy times four tongue

I'll never know if it was worth the pain, but I still loved it more than anything in the world - it was my life.

Re: Wining and Dining in Brussels!

There's a place in the Hoogstraat were they do everything with pancakes (salty or sweet ones, but the thin variety, not the truckwheel variety they have in the US). That was rather interesting. I had a pancake curry there, no room left for dessert, but good. smile

Re: Wining and Dining in Brussels!

Supposing you don't want personal liability and supposing you're using a construction in belgian law: the smallest thing we got here is basicly a one man ltd. company. Capital you have to cough up within the year to set it up is about 12.400 euros now. Add 2-3k for administration, notary, etc. If you're a 2 or more ltd company it's only 6.4k euros. Higher price for the one man ltd is to counter the frequent fraudulent setup of it.

But you could always go for a ltd. according to english law as well, then it costs way less to set up (1.200 euros plus a couple of hundred for formalities), but the tax regime is lots harsher. And I'm not too sure about the amount of protection it currently enjoys under belgian law, which isn't always compliant / up to date with the well inteded European directives. tongue

Re: Wining and Dining in Brussels!

Oh, indeed. I love Brussels.. The "Vossenplein" with its fleamarket, the grand place, the music shops on the Anspach, the St. Hubertgallery, the cathedral.. It's odd that few Belgians actually go there regularly and really know the city. But, I'm guessing that's only true for the Flemish..

Re: Wining and Dining in Brussels!

If they would have proper signs so you'd know how to get out of there, I wouldn't mind it so much.

Re: Wining and Dining in Brussels!

Then again, Brussels is the European hotspot of the 21st century, while california is just another attraction pole competing against other cities in a country that's suffering heavily from an economic crisis.

Re: Wining and Dining in Brussels!

Ah, you mean pure administration costs? The 12000 euro is the minimum capital you have to provide to back the entity up.

Set up costs, including notary fee, registration, publication,  will be around 700 euros.
