The market had been an abattoir from 1890 until in 1983 until the Anderlech municipality decided to use this enormous space as a market. First they wanted to demolish it but with the whole history it contains, they fortunately decided to keep everything. This market is full of character , sometimes even too much but again it is the perfect place to shop cheaply in this city, prices are generally 30/40 % cheaper than local supermarkets and you get a wide selection of product from all over the world . There is also a part of the market dedicated to clothes, things for the house. In short you find everything you want !
Of course you find the famous Belgian fries here and different little restaurants
You can buy the most beautiful clothes for 10 or 15 €, also shoes and handbags, jewelery etc
We like to go to this market. It has such an international atmosphere and is something special
