À la Mort Subite, Protected heritage pub in Pentagon district, Brussels, Belgium.
The cafe features high ceilings, Louis XVI style decorations, garland pilasters, long rows of tables, and vintage advertising posters throughout its main room.
Founded in 1902 by Théophile Vossen, the establishment moved to its current location in 1927 and officially became À la Mort Subite in 1928.
The cafe maintains traditional service with uniformed waiters serving Belgian beers, including their namesake lambic varieties produced by Alken-Maes brewery.
Located at 7 Rue Montagne aux Herbes Potagères, the establishment operates Monday through Saturday from 11:00 to 01:00 and Sundays from 12:00 to 24:00.
The name originates from a dice game played in the 1840s at La Cour Royale, where rapid losses led to the term 'sudden death'.
