LUNCH: CAFE GUDULE,Rue du Gentilhomme 11, near the Cathedral,
tel 02/503 10 15
The young and (very) friendly typically Brussels' "melting pot" team at Café Gudule have just created a fine little place. Be it for just a cup of coffee or a beer (or a good glass of wine!) or even a hearty lunch, you'll be welcome here as you would at home.
The food's fine and generously served, there's a sizeable selection of wines by the glass and the atmosphere is great fun: a Ste Gudule fresco on the walls, "BD belge" menus, frites in terra cotta plant pots, a "mur d'expression" = blackboard and chalk in the loo...! The smile on your face will not only be because your tummies are full.
So go out of the beaten track and check these guys and gal out!

Mig's World Wines wishes you all the best for 2007!!
For this new year we wish you an "and" year :
Red and white wines.
Sweet and dry wines.
Still and sparkling wines.
An inclusive, not exclusive year. A year of differences and diversity (starting here: "small" Belgium). Ouch!! Sounds a little too serious! So we also wish you a year full of fun and laughter !

Miguel and Lucy

NEWS: Mig's open also on Sunday the 31st of December (from 11am to 7pm as usual)
Beautiful Bubbles for 2007
For New Year's Eve let's keep it classic. Beautiful bubbles to start the New Year with a ...pop!
Mig's selection has now grown to up to 30 sparkling wines!
Palau Cava is the perfect party pleaser and at 7.60€ a pop, you can crack open quite a few.
Cava can go right up to the top end: Raventòs i Blanc L'Hereu, Grand Reserva 2002 and Elisabeth Raventòs 2001.
Our prosecco has become a favorite of our customers especially the slightly sparkling "frizzante" (8.90€). Also from Ruggieri the full "sparkling" Argeo and the pretty Rosé di Pinot.
From Australia, we have two great party wines. The fun "Barramundi" and a new quality "bubbly" from Mitchelton "Imprint" (both under 10€). Top notch Oz are Grant Burge Brut, the Rosé Taltarni Brut Taché, the classy Croser and the new Kreglinger from Tasmania.
From France, we have, as always, our so succesful Forget Brimont 1er Cru Champagne (also now as a rosé), the elegant cuvée 730 from Jacquesson, the classy Grande Reserve from Gosset (superbe packaging) and "Bondy" Bolly: Bollinger Spéciale Cuvée, Bollinger Grande Année 97 and Bollinger R.D. 1996. Talking about the top, we may have a few Dom Përignon in before 2007.
And that's not all folks !
Just to mention the sweet low alcool Moscato's and Brachetto (red) and other weird red sparkling Shiraz and Merlot from down-under.
But our "coup de coeur" (see this section on this site) is Belgian Sparkling wine made from rhubarb by Vins de Roisin. Brut but with a mouth filling body. Rhubarb, yes but not too much, more like a quality champagne with something special. A fun and flavoursome way to accompany smoked salmon or just enjoy on its own.
Cheers and see you in 2007

Christmas @ Mig's :
No tasting before Christmas but exceptionally we do have :

2. A selection of our top spirits to try before you buy. Just ask us.
Just arrived : a superb selection of terrines and jams from Roisin and a large choice of organic olive oils from Quattrociocchi.
These additions to our range give us an even larger scope to create your gift packs.
So see you at Mig's.

Vote(z) Vin!
Vin: du belge ce samedi et du bon. Van Vlaanderen et de Wallonie: bulles, wit et rouge. Santé! Gezondheid!
Vote: il y a des bons vins blancs, jaunes, rouges, noirs... Mais si c'est brun, c'est passé et infâme. C'est comme en politique: la politique des chemises brunes est juste bonne pour l'égoût. Ce dimanche, votons démocratique. L'extrême droite, c'est bouchonné!

Cheers!Mig
