Kitsch decor covers every inch of wall space in this former brothel, now one of Brussels’ coolest bars.

Expect to find anything from a politician’s bust to a rusty bicycle in Goupil’s three-story boudoir.

Sink into a chintzy velvet sofa among the candles and sip on the house speciality: secret-recipe hazelnut wine served ice-cold in a huge glass.

If you’re feeling brave, head up to the third floor to join couples smooching to the sounds of old French jazz on the record player.
