There is no end to the number of cosy neighbourhood cafes in Antwerp, but Vitrin might be one of our favourites. Their list of funky cocktails and craft beers should be enjoyed on their lovely large terrace.

This lively petit grand café is a fave spot of ours because of its great coffee and  its wonderful curated library. Buchbar is incredibly cosy, so we love coming here to sit and read for an hour or two.

The subtle neon-red lighting at Lewis is a wink to the building's past as a "rendez-vous hotel". Today, Lewis' menu is just as daring and provocative as the building's history!

Might it just be the most aesthetic boutique in Antwerp? Quite possibly. The Menu is Louise Proot's new venture, and boy could we not be happier.
