librairie filigranes Review

Ali Baba's cave ... Everything is there. Sometimes hard to find but the staff are there. Don't hesitate to ask.

Interesting bookstore
Worth the effort

Wonderful store. It's a gigantic bookstore which also sells some office supplies, board games, and other gifts. Staff is very friendly.

My opinion is divided:
Usually I advocate for this bookstore, well, a peaceful place to spend some time with real paper books and informed vendors.

But,
During my last visit, the employees rather discouraged me.
Just before closing, you must go to the sanitary facilities, where you are asked not to enter with the books. Okay.
You will get out of it in time, But! An employee comes in, knocks on your door, calls you again, holds the door to the exit ... And good manners? Only sell the image of a relaxation area, and books on philosophy and tolerance, if these concepts resonate with you.
Especially in the digital age when news travels fast ... especially if on release, you no longer leave the possibility of buying the deposited book, unnecessarily insisting that `` the hour is the hour '' - which irritates all the more when this is not yet the case, watch in hand.

A good hearer

Very good bookstore with a huge selection of books.

Excellent bookstore. The salespeople are welcoming and available to help us. thank you for your welcome

Books, books, some food, and books again. What more do you actually need? Huge, I really mean huge, selection of books and comics, I love it!

Becoming a factory and a lot less progressive or even a serious opportunistic nauseating

The Aliba cave of the cultural product par excellence in Brussels! There is everything!
Novels, children's games, tourist guides, board games, magazines, DVDs, a substantial cooking department, ...
Maybe everything is a little too much ... We end up getting lost and stopping at the bar to catch our breath.
The staff is competent, a special mention for the "children" department.

One of the best bookstores in the city and frequent meetings with celebrities.

Pascal: competence and amiability are his key words.

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Huge stock. Cafeteria corner. Sale of books and games for children. This is my place of perdition!

A giant bookshop with a huge variety. In addition to books in French, they have an important selection of international titles. There is also a coffee and lots of goodies for sale

All employees are at your service smiling and always a hello that many traders forget

Huge place, tons of books and there is an english section as well.

Very very pleasant surprise! We stumbled upon it while walking and it was a real pleasure! Very large bookstore with a large selection of novels, newspapers, various books, stationery, ... There is also a small cafe where you can sit and enjoy a small coffee. Even people who don't like reading will find something to their liking in this little paradise on earth

Great as always, full of books and interesting ideas! And a presentation of new book of one French-speaking writer (who can apparently sing!). Thank you for a wonderful time :)

Very good and serious organization against the Covid, I found what I wanted although I was also a fan of Kindle to read. Thank you and good luck to all.

Hut of Ali baba. For a book, a toy, or just a drink while reading ... With a very nice staff

We love to get lost, stroll around, end up cracking when we told ourselves that this time we would be reasonable and quietly enjoy a Chardonnay !

You find any book you are looking for, you also have a small cafeteria inside.

Wow, just wow..... What a paradise.... So many choices. A little overwelming because of the huge variety of merchandise, but overall great.!

Most: an incredible choice and not only books, snacks and employees who know it.
Cons: prices are not indicated on many comics and especially the building is quickly stuffy, I dare not imagine if there are a lot of people

Wide choice of (mainly French) books. Also nice for Christmas gifts or just a coffee or glass of wine.

Great place to read and choose a book while having a cup of tea.

Good bookstore, lots of choice and nice coffee space!

Smart advice and a nice little coffee to browse potential purchases.

Magnificent. Book supermarket. There are also various objects for gifts

Very large selection of books but average staff ...

Very large choice of books, in a very large number of areas and at a very honest price. I will highlight the book signings and the possibility of eating. The staff is very kind and competent. Parking is not easy but there are many bus lines and metro nearby.

Booooooks! A lot...with candies and a lot of very nice stuff!

You want to dream, then stop by Filigranes. You will always have good advice.

Best bookstore in Brussels. Not a bad selection of English books, too

Great choice, friendly staff and available. Catering service.

One of the best book stores that I have been to in Brussels

The best book store in town (one of the best in Europe)

Home ATROCE. You get pissed off at the checkouts, neither a goodbye nor a thank you. Palpable stress. From bookstore, it has become a large area with friendly employees like prison doors. Three times in a row I was treated with harshness and nervousness.

Cool place, you can take books and sit, read them in a cafe, sipping coffee with a sandwich :)

So livestock.books and gadgets. Well everything in French

Massive space where you can find lots of books, specially for children. Also in other languages, not only French or Dutch.
Specially good the option inside with the cafeteria while your children are investigating books and toys.
Sunday is open
There are other stores in Brussels, don't know all of them, but this one might be the biggest.

Always open, there is everything including the press and orders arrive quickly. Wink, at the bar, they have not yet understood that pasteis de nata are served with cinnamon powder

A huge bookshop with books mainly in French language, but you can also find a lot of books in English and some in Dutch too. There is also a cafe in the shop.

THE bookstore in Brussels! Great atmosphere, friendly personnel, tasty snacks, I could spend the day there!

Very wide choice of books, hard not to find happiness. Big plus: open Sunday, stack when one is in the mood to find his reading of the week!

Bookstore very comprehensive, the advice of sellers are often relevant. A very beautiful comic strip and books for children!

A real pleasure to discover and to be so well advised by these very very kind young people THANK YOU and see you soon ...

Cultural factory which pushes to overconsumption. A little paradoxical in view of the values advocated by the library and amplified in this period of covid. Thank you for the introduction of vouchers valid for two months only AND which are not even valid the same day (forcing us to return to the store which is far from being covid free / safe loyalty having a price and a very limited duration at Filigrane, I'll look elsewhere to find my happiness

Very dissappointing attitude coming from staff of Filigranes. Last week, after shopping there with my aunt and cousin all three of us were suddenly stoped at the exit and asked to show our bags. As we opened our bags, I asked the guy what was the reason, he said : it is for those that don t buy anything at the store. I showed our bag full of books that we just purchased and also asked why he stopped only us and ignored several people that were exiting at the same time.. he answered sarcastically yes I discriminate people . What can I say? Bravo! Not stepping my foot in there again..!

Perfect place to buy / read books. They have stocks ahead of other stores.
I recommend !

The advantages: very complete choice of books (novels, comics, arts, travel, hobbies, etc.) for all ages ... but not only. There are also newspapers, magazines, cds, dvds, cookware, travel articles, and more. You can More

Very nice place and well provided. A real treat for book lovers.

There is everything and more, my son loves Sunday morning accounts and I love their pastries

Amazing atmosphere. Makes you want to stay and glean. Awesome bookstore concept

Best bookstore in Brussels, can not go out empty handed ...
