Real SOUL food made with love and good music. Easygoing place, I would definitely recommend doing take-out and go for a sunset at the riverside nearby.

You are in the Portuguese and Brazilian neighbourhood, so for a traditional Portugese meal head over to Maria & Ze who will pamper you with their food, smile and karaoke singing. Sometimes while they serve you :) Order the menu which is about €25/pp and includes starters, main dish, wine, dessert and a coffee. Cash only!

Belgian food, home made and fresh with daily suggestions on the menu. The vibe is chill and the atmosphere both inside and outside will pull you into a romantic setting where time doesn’t seem to exist anymore.

Order a “friet in een puntzak” with freshly homemade tartaar sauce. Eat it while you stroll through the small streets of the oldest part of town, around the cathedral. Hello Belgium, we love you!

Healthy and so so so tasty! Choose your own veggies and toppings with your falafel sandwich, enjoy the extra sauces they bring to your table. The charismatic owner speaks at least 8 languages, can you find out which ones?

The beautiful retro interior is often the background for (jazzy) concerts. Enjoy drinks there, stay, become hungry and order a very fulfilling burger or spaghetti. Very authentic and friendly staff, fair pricing.

It’s like the sensory museum of beer. If you’re having difficulty choosing the staff will gladly help you to find the beer that fits your taste, whether you’re feeling adventurous or looking for a walk around the block.

MUSIC

You need to experience the meaning of a “bruin café” while you vist. Literally translated it’s a brown bar, a cosy local tavern that’s far from chic but very real. A selection of classic Belgian Beers accompany the almost daily jazz gigs hosted at this place.
