Ixelles-Elsene (http://www.ixelles.be/) is a large district in the South of Brussels spreading from newly gentrified immigrant neighbourhoods off the Chausee D'Ixelles near the town centre to leafy suburbs close to the Bois de la Cambre. The district is split in two by Avenue Louise, which is technically part of the Bruxelles-Brussels district of the city.

Get in
See
The beautiful art nouveau architecture that can be stumbled upon in the side streets around the Chaussée d'Ixelles.

Buy
The Chaussée d'Ixelles has a range of high street shops. If you explore the side streets you might find independent shops with more character (ethnic food, second hand books and records...)
Eat
- L'Ultime Atome: Increasingly chic, but still just about affordable brasserie, serving tasty food and drink from breakfast till late. Place St Boniface (off the Chausée d'Ixelles).
- Mano a Mano: Italian restaurant on Place St. Boniface; Good food, not too expensive.
- L'Amour Fou: Similar to above located on place Fernand Coq.
- Dolma: Buddhist cafe/wholefood shop on Chausée d'Ixelles (It is on the right hand side, just before Place Flagey, on your way out of town).
- Les Brassins (http://www.lesbrassins.com/): Belgian-French cuisine, tasty and a real bargain
Loads of other places including some really good Moroccan restaurants.
