Traditional Antwerp brown cafe that had declined over the years and then closed. Reopened with more focus on beer and getting better with each visit.

Fred says

Spent a pleasant afternoon here, with the new owner's enthusiastic father behind the bar. Well worth a stop.

Jezza says

An almost perfect brown cafe, normally serving draft Avec Les Bons Voeux from Brasserie Dupont. In winter it's warm and cosy, thanks to the amazing old stove. Great place.
