A great music venue with ping-pong tables used to be a squat. 

Small collection of foreign movies with a huge waterside-view cafe.

One of the greatest contemporary galleries in the world. You're welcome.

Smack in the middle of tourist district and right on the border of the red light district. My good friend (and super talented photographer Qiu Yang, check it out folks!) is part of the furniture there and because of him, we - his friends - are allowed to order outside of the menu. So none of that westernized mild gruel, but the real spicy tongue-numbing-deal. Before going out to parties, after gallery openings or just when we’re hungry, our bunch always gathers there. Good times!

De Plantage is a bright, elegant brasserie beside Artis where great design.
