Finding the place is like being on treasure hunt as it is a bit hidden and you can access it only via 2 small alleys. The show is good fun (I saw Lucrece Borgia), probably hard to follow if you don't speak French, but the whole marionettes theatre experience is probably worth it. I agree with previous comment, the seating... More

I discovered Toone quite by accident when I ducked down a tiny little alleyway. At the end is the home of the Royal Puppet Theatre (known as Toone). Running since the 1830s, it is housed in a 17th century pub and is a terrifically well hidden oasis in Brussels. Sadly the show was not on the day I was Brussels... More

I went, I loved the show, I highly recommend it. But it's good to know that the benches don't have backs to them, so anyone a bit older (or significantly overweight) or with back problems should be aware. I went with my mother, and she left during the intermission because her lower back hurt. She wasn't the only one; the... More

Enjoyed our drinks in a strange glass (like a half yard of ale), small dark and friendly, met some lovely people here. Didnt go to puppet show just had a drink

The place is tucked away in a little alley off the famous Rue des Bouchers. There's a bar to have a quiet drink before the show and during the intermission they open a... More

This bar is well hidden in a tiny street that is barely visible, but if you find it you will not regret. Beautiful place.

Tucked away in an alley we were taken to Toone by a friend who lives locally. We didn't see a performance which was a pity, but the atmosphere was great. Just a word of warning for any disabled or elderly persons, the toilets are un some very step steps, gents on the first and ladies up another flight. The poor... More

Loved the place and this is one of my favourite pubs in Brussels because it is central but hidden from all the tourists which can be very annoying. I go there a lot but for the first time I went to the puppet theatre upstairs with some friends after hearing about it. It is was great. Romeo and Juliet was... More

You may not understand the language but to see the show is a must for children of all ages from 1-110! The craftsmanship and skill is amazing. My children who know the languages LOVED it! I know some were a bit bored but the people make an effort to show something that is a skill that has been lost to... More
