À la Mort Subite, Protected heritage pub in Pentagon district, Brussels, Belgium.
À la Mort Subite is a protected heritage café in Brussels' Pentagon district with high ceilings and Louis XVI decor. Long rows of tables fill the space, while vintage advertising posters line the walls throughout the main room.
The café was founded in 1902 and moved to its current building in 1927. It took its present name in 1928, marking the beginning of its life as an established Brussels establishment.
The name reflects a reference to a traditional game from Brussels history. This historical connection remains present through the serving of Belgian beers and the classic interior style.
The establishment opens in late morning on most days and stays open until late evening. Visitors should note that opening hours vary by day of the week and it is helpful to check ahead.
The beer served here comes from a local brewery and shares the same name as the café itself. This link between the establishment and the brewery gives the place a special character among Brussels locals.
