Les Saint Hubert Galleries are a must to visit on any trip to Brussels. There is an excellent selection of shops and in particular a wide variety of chocolate shops. It's worth walking through the arcade itself to admire the shop windows and beautiful architecture and decor of one of Europe's first shopping arcades. Two highlights to visit are Neuhaus... More

From what I have read the Galeries Saint Hubert were the first ones built in Europe. Today they are still beautiful and well maintained. It is a good refuge in case of rain and there are many interesting stores here. The chocolate shops are very good with their decoration and we bought many types of chocolate here.

The Saint Hubert Galleries are impressive to walk through, not unlike the Burlington Arcade in London. Very beautiful architecture and decor. However, it's not really a place to go shopping. There is a very nice bookshop that was featured in some book about the "the world's most beautiful bookshops". Coming out of the arcade is a bit of a let-down.... More

The galleries are very good and impressive. We thought they reminded us of Queen Victoria arcade in Sydney but not a good. QV arcade has a second level of shops. Go and see them at least once.

Charming gallery to walk through and good window-shopping (more like gazing) since most shops look very exclusive and some even put signs that says 'only upon request'! Do stop by Mokafe for a yummy waffle (euro 3.60) and let the other tourists stare with envy. Also walk into the bookstore in front of the cafe to check out the ceilings

The gallery itself is very impressive and worth a visit. Shops are expensive but high class! A good place to find something different from the usual chocolate shops and mannekin pis tat!

We went here to have waffles at Mokaffe. We had he worst service ever...maybe they do not like Americans. The waffle and ice cream were delicious and the shop is steeped in tradition, The other shops were what you might expect in a tourist arcade...windi shopping but nothing memorable. If you do go here, go into the book store and... More

You can spend a happy couple of hours in here window (or real - if the have the means) shopping, drinking coffee or having alight meal and just taking in the atmosphere. You can even buy an umbrella if it really is raining outside - as it often is.
