Place to be- bar just out front of the apartment, serving one of the best coffees in the hood. The music is generous, sometimes live, sometimes it's just vinyl. Love the interior shabby chique and the hamburgers.

At this butchery you can buy your sandwiches for lunch. Try the "smos" with cheese and ham or the "club americain" with tartare and veggies. Have a little chat with the butcher to practice your Flemish :)

Urban winery worth visiting and definitely worth enjoying. I discovered the Gudule wine in a small Flemish shop a couple of year's back and have been a fan ever since. Try the 'Soirée à l'opera' white wine. Or go for the lighter 'Apéro en terrasse'.
