One of the first places I felt at home when moving to Toronto. Imagine a living room transformed into a wonderful Vietnamese inspired (snack)bar. Great food and beverages that get you very, very drunk.
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 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.
