I'm fine with you doing whatever you want.
I speak only for myself of course, but I usually stay at the conference until the last talks (7PM).
Consider that the hackerspace is pretty much the other side of brussels, so I don't think there's time for that (at least not on my personal agenda).
If you want to eat at 7PM that means you'd need to leave fosdem at about 4PM.
If you want to visit the hackerspace, maybe friday afternoon is a better time.
