Where the square is
Place Saint-Boniface is in Ixelles, between Chaussée d'Ixelles and Rue du Trône, a short walk from Porte de Namur. It is arranged around the Saint-Boniface church, which gives it its name and character.
How to get there
The square is pedestrianised: you arrive on foot. Public transport serves Porte de Namur close by, and on-street parking around the neighbourhood is limited and paid. Allow a few minutes' walk.
When to come
At midday, the neighbourhood runs to the rhythm of offices and lunch menus: services are shorter, so booking saves time. In the evening, the atmosphere is more relaxed and the terraces fill up as soon as the weather allows.
Eating Mauritian on the square
Les Marmites du Monde is at number 4, with a terrace set up facing the church. It's the neighbourhood address for authentic, entirely home-made Mauritian cuisine.
