In Paris, Moissonnier @ 28 rue des Fosses-St.Bernard (near the Arab Institute) on the Left Bank is a well-priced & exceptional Lyonnaise restaurant; on the Right Bank, Le Petit Dakar @ 6 rue Elzevir (near the Musee Carnavalet) offers beautiful Senegalese food. I have found both to be affordable & memorable.
I know you like to be contrarian whenever possible, and I can appreciate a balanced discussion. But seriously.... Brussels over Berlin?
I didn't say I would choose Brussels over Berlin, quite the opposite. But you would have to be a grade A moron to call Brussels hideous and then recommend Berlin as a better alternative aesthetically speaking. That's all.
There's nothing you can do in Bruges that you can't do in Brussels (more grade A morons brainwashed by that awful Colin Farrell movie)
What's imbalanced in this conversation is the heaps of people ******** on a perfectly enjoyable small city that's fine to spend 1-2 days in. There's nothing you can do in Bruges that you can't do in Brussels (more grade A morons brainwashed by that awful Colin Farrell movie); in fact, there's less to do and it's all twice as expensive.
The derogatory comments toward Brussels were in the context of responses to a post soliciting recommendations for places to visit on a first-time trip to Europe. Would Brussels be on a list of top 20 European cities you would recommend to a complete newbie?

Not to hijack the OPs thread, or butt in on the whole to Brussels or not to Brussels debate, but I need some advice and recommendations. It looks like I will be in Geneva for work at the end of May. I can squeeze out 9 days to roam around after I finish up my work in Geneva.
If you are trying to travel by train/bus/car and only want to do two cities, then you need to pick a general region and stick to it. For instance, I think it would be too annoying to travel to Paris and Rome, if you were not flying, but you could do Paris and Amsterdam.
