UPPER TOWN. This pastry shop is one of Brussels' most famous, and rightly so. Wittamer has been building a reputation since 1910, and locals show up to grab a light breakfast, to indulge in a fabulous dessert, or to find a gift for someone special. Wittamer's specialties include candied chestnuts (marrons glaces) and marzipan biscuits, but their handmade pralines (Belgian for "chocolates"), breads, cakes, and pastries are also sensory delights. Wittamer has five shops in Brussels, but only at the Grand Sablon can you buy a croissant or an ice cream, sit at an outside table, and watch the parade of chic city residents.
