Where are La Fabbrica and L'Annexe located at Tour & Taxis?
La Fabbrica and L'Annexe are located in the heart of the historic Royal Depot at Tour & Taxis, Avenue du Port 86C, 1000 Brussels. The heritage building combines industrial architecture, spacious volumes and a monumental glass roof. The venues host lunches, brunches, weddings, receptions and corporate events.
Where can I park for La Fabbrica or L'Annexe?
The closest car park to La Fabbrica and L'Annexe is P3 Anna Boch, a paid underground car park entered from Drève Anna Boch; P1 Picard, Rue Picard 13, also paid, is larger. Both are often full during major events. Two short videos show the way by car to La Fabbrica and to L'Annexe. Coach parking is available on request. Buses 14, 15, 57, 88 and 89 stop in front of the site, trams 51 and 93 serve Sainctelette, a five-minute walk away, and a free shuttle runs from Brussels-North station on weekdays.
Are La Fabbrica and L'Annexe accessible for people with reduced mobility?
Yes. Both rooms are wheelchair accessible and the ground floor is step-free. Some areas can only be reached by stairs: let us know your needs when booking so we can seat you in the best place. Accessible toilets are available on the Tour & Taxis site: ask at the bar and we will arrange access.
Can we eat on the terrace?
Yes. La Fabbrica and L'Annexe have an indoor terrace beneath the large glass roof of the Royal Depot and an outdoor terrace. The indoor terrace is available year-round and can be specifically requested; the outdoor terrace opens when weather allows. During the Kids Friendly brunch, families particularly like the indoor terrace because it is close to the bouncy castle.
Are dogs allowed at brunch?
Yes, dogs are welcome at La Fabbrica and L'Annexe. Please mention your dog when booking, as some tables directly beside the buffet are not suitable for comfortably accommodating a dog.
