To recover from my Heideggerian confrontation with "das Sein-zum-Tode", I visit this small town. Right across the market square, there's a bakery that sells the best comfort food in the world. My tummy already hurts from looking at all those real Belgian chocolate treats. Legendary!

For fast, good ramen! Their black sesame ice cream is super good.

This is my favorite place to go to – to escape the city quick – in nature. I love the Braem Pavillion a lot – built by Antwerp architect Renaat Braem in 1969.

The interior of this place is so beautiful. The atmosphere is just perfect for a romantic evening. Upstairs there's a nice bar as well.

We don't go to this place for the trendy interior, but for the amazing food. The no-nonsense approach is actually why we love it so much! This place just has the best Sichuan style Chinese food in Antwerp.
