In the local dialect, "Zinneke" means a bastard, a mixture, a mongrel... Round here - rue des Chartreux - it's displayed with pride - it's a joke, but a true one at that. Just like Brussels itself : the cosmopolitan city, where cockney characters and Eurocrats rub shoulders; a cultural crossroads, rich in history and all sorts of stories - the very essence of Zinneke !
