Bikini, Mimosas, Glitter and Heels: Drag Brunch Sundays at La Tricoterie

La Tricoterie in Saint‑Gilles is turning lazy Sundays into full‑on queer celebrations with its “Drag brunch avec bikini‑mimosas, paillettes et talons”, hosted by Bikini The Third. Think all‑you‑can‑eat brunch, bottomless vibes, fierce performances and an inclusive atmosphere that welcomes every letter of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum.

What’s better than brunch? A drag brunch – and that’s exactly what La Tricoterie is serving with its new Sunday concept led by local drag star Bikini The Third. Forget your hangover or Sunday scaries: from 11:00 to 14:00, the “Salon de la Tricoterie” becomes a colourful, high‑energy playground where good food, good drinks and good queens come together. It is designed as a 100% feel‑good, explicitly queer‑friendly event, open to gay, lesbian, bi, trans, non‑binary and allied brunch lovers who want more from their weekend than yet another avocado toast.

On the menu, you get a generous, all‑you‑can‑eat buffet mixing sweet and savoury dishes, homemade and mostly local, in line with La Tricoterie’s ethical and sustainable approach to food. To wash it down, the “Bikini’s Experience” formula includes three mimosas, while the classic ticket offers the full brunch and show without the extra bubbles. Whether you are here for the cocktails or just for the show, the idea is the same: make brunch feel like a party rather than a box to tick before Monday hits.

Of course, the beating heart of the event is the drag show itself, curated and hosted by Bikini The Third, a queen already known in Brussels for her high‑energy performances and “Queen of Good Vibes” reputation. Expect a mix of lipsyncs, comedy, crowd work and interactive challenges designed to bring out the inner star in even the shyest audience members. Between numbers, the queens keep the room alive with improvised banter, contests and playful shade, turning the entire venue into a temporary queer family table.

Dates are spread across the season – including 29 March and 31 May 2026 – giving you several chances to join the fun or come back with a different crew. Located at 158 Rue Théodore Verhaegen in Saint‑Gilles, La Tricoterie is easy to reach and already known as a “fabrique de liens”, a cultural hub that connects people around food, art and social engagement. By adding drag brunches to its programme, the venue further anchors itself in Brussels’ queer cultural landscape, offering daytime spaces that are just as important as late‑night clubs for community building.

If you are celebrating something – a birthday, a bachelorette, a name‑change party or just surviving another week – you can even let the team know in advance so they can give you a moment on stage or a special shout‑out. This attention to detail makes the brunch a perfect pick for mixed groups where not everyone is used to queer nightlife but is ready to discover drag in a warm, accessible setting. Between the food, the mimosas, the performances and the shared laughter, it is less about spectacle from a distance and more about spending three hours in a space that unapologetically celebrates queer joy.
