Where the best of two cultures meets

Brazilian tapas or Belgian cosiness, Caipirinha or a genuine Belgian Trappist, tapas for two, just a bite between two meetings, info about a room for the night and party like in Rio …

Belgaleiro is the place in Leuven where you can find this special atmosphere that comes out of the confluence of the best of two cultures.

Bossanova Live 24-10-2019 20.00 uur

Brenda Corijn en Siebe Chau van het Lemmensinstituut Leuven brengen een greep uit het onvergetelijke Bossanova repertoire dat deze wereld een betere plaats heeft gemaakt. Met werken van befaamde componisten zoals João Gilberto, Vinicius de Moraes, Antônio Carlos Jobim, Astrud Gilberto en vele anderen zullen zij een stuk Braziliaanse ziel naar de Belgaleiro brengen dat de meesten onder ons, ook hier in Europa, niet onberoerd laat.
Begin: 20.00 uur
Inkom gratis

Brenda Corijn and Siebe Chau of the Lemmensinstituut Leuven perform a selection of the unforgettable Bossa Nova repertoire that has made this world a better place. With works of famous composers like João Gilberto, Vinicius de Moraes, Antônio Carlos Jobim, Astrud Gilberto and many others they will bring a part of the Brazilian soul to the Belgaleiro that truly touched most of us, also here in Europe.
Start: 8.00 pm
Entrance free

Aulas de Forró classes

Forró, a music and dance style from the Brazilian north-east … Typical, fun, so different from Samba and at the same time unmistakably Brazilian. A little known entrance into the Brazilian culture! But thanks to Maristela and her free classes which have taken place now for a whole year in the Belgian-Brazilian café Belgaleiro in Leuven, a piece of Brazil has been made accessible that you will not easily find everywhere.
Come and try it out, it’s really worth it!

Oh, and forget about that dancing skill thing. It’s really not about that.
It is one group where everybody works on and shares her/his skills. The basic steps and other forms are repeatedly taught. There are no “levels” and everybody helps each other. The classes take approximatively an hour. Afterwards we put the newly acquired skills into practice during the Forró party!

Everybody welcome!

Classes by: Maristela Rocha
When: Every friday at 9.00 pm (except the first friday of the month)
Where: Belgaleiro, Goudsbloemstraat 50, 3000 Leuven
Price: Free
Please be sure to adhere to the Facebook page “Forró classes in Leuven” (https://www.facebook.com/groups/218881415484559/) for up to date info.

Beer, Cocktails, Smoothies

Regardless if warm or cold, during the week or in the weekend, day or night, there are moments where only one specific drink meets our taste.
That is where we come in – with a heavenly Belgian Trappist or other beer, something fresh and fruity like a smoothie or a genuine cocktail to begin the night with.

Coffee by a real barista

Coffee is no big deal? Because after all it’s just hot water pressed through milled coffee beans by a machine, right?
This becomes something completely different if you order a coffee from a real barista. There are so many different recipes that mentioning them all would exceed the limits of the menu.
The most obvious like latte macchiato or cappuccino are in there of course, but …
We’d say: Try the guy!
