Toone Royal Theater

Traditional Brussels puppet theatre hidden in an old brick courtyard cafe.

Toone Royal Theater is a traditional puppet theatre tucked into the lanes near Grand-Place. The brick walls, tiled floor, wooden benches, and attached cafe give it the feel of an older Brussels that is easy to miss in the busy centre.

Shows are usually in French, but the puppetry, setting, and beer-afterward atmosphere carry plenty without perfect comprehension. It is best as an evening cultural stop rather than a formal theatre night.
