Right next to the art academy of Antwerp, this small café is a terrific place to sit down and enjoy the view of people passing by. Their coffee is very good and they also have a variety of ways to prepare it, if you're into that stuff.

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!

The most beautiful and stylish hotel located in a former nun convent, designed by Vincent van Duysen.

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.

The best design, photo, and architecture bookstore in the city, nice design by Vincent Van Duysen
