One of my favorites in Antwerp. Great food, even though the menu does not change often. Great natural wine selection as well and in summer you can sit outside on the square.
I always like to meditate here for a while. Cows are very calming company. The windmills in the background remind me of the power of nature and the insignificance of our species.
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!
This sight reminds me of the beginning of Antonioni's L'Avventura. In other words: again a confrontation with the majesty of nature. While standing here, I realize that water has no foundation to build on. I am overwhelmed: as human beings, we are forced to live our lives in uncertainty while facing the horizon of death.
St. Vincents curates a careful edit of furniture, art and design from niche and established creatives, designers, artists and artisans. Really nice place
