Cafe Local

One spot stop

Waalsekaai 25
Antwerp, Antwerp 2000
Belgium
+32 3 238 5004
http://www.cafelocal.be/

A popular spot in the Antwerp night-life scene, the decor of Cafe Local resembles a Cuban town. The grand dance site can tempt even an amateur dancer to get on to the floor and experiment those groovy moves. And what is it popular for exactly? Salsa! A separate bar area segregates the venue and also gives a bit of privacy. A coffee shop finds itself on the top floor. So drink, dance and then let the effects slide off with a good round of coffee. And if you wish to flaunt your dance moves, make sure you join their salsa course.

Desire De Lille

Delicious waffles and snacks Schrijnwerkersstraat 14-18
Antwerp 2000
Belgium
+32 3 233 6226
http://www.desiredelille.be/ne... You cannot rave about Belgium waffles until you have tried some from Desire De Lille. The owners gained a reputation while operating on the fairgrounds, but now you can enjoy their specialties all year round at this restaurant. Besides waffles, this establishment also serves pancakes, apple-beignets, ice cream and other sweet and savory snacks. This is an ideal place to head to, if you want to taste some typical Belgian snacks. The restaurant has a large garden terrace where you can enjoy your snack between the roses.

Espresso World- Bar, Shop and Service

Taking care of all your coffee needs Leopoldplaats 12
Antwerp 2000
Belgium
+32 3 232 6990 To say you love coffee is an understatement. You're not satisfied with a simple trip to a café to quench your caffeinated thirst. At home you need a bag of aromatic coffee beans, a state-of-the-art espresso maker and stylish espresso cups. And, what if your highly-coveted espresso maker goes on the fritz? You need a place to service it. Plus, wouldn't it be nice if the service centre also provided a few cups of coffee while you waited? Dream no longer. This place does it all. It's got all the services to satisfy the coffee-fanatic and humble café-goer alike. And the mocca-café is simply divine!

Foyer

Beautiful ceiling Komedieplaats 18
Antwerp 2000
Belgium
+32 3 224 8813 This restaurant is located on the first floor of the Bourla theatre, an historic building from 1834. In 1993, the whole building was restored and refurbished in the original classical style, including magnificent ceiling paintings. The overall effect is breathtaking; it is no wonder that the inhabitants of Antwerp are proud of this grand building. This romantic brasserie serves salads at the salad bar, brunches and a three-course lunch buffet. You can also a simple light meal, a snack or just coffee and dessert while admiring the interiors. The service is fast and friendly and this only helps in making your visit memorable.

Grand Cafe Leroy

Original breakfast, lunch and desserts Kasteelpleinstraat 49
Antwerp 2000
Belgium
+32 3 226 1199 This eatery should be on the itinerary of each foodie passing through this city. The food here is of outstanding quality—impressing the patrons not only with taste but also with presentation. The interiors are a combination of a modern French brasserie and some high-tech design. There is a garden terrace at the back with Japanese highlights. The owners are friendly and offer newspapers to the guests to make them feel at ease. The house desserts are among the most creative in Antwerp. Try the Almond Tart with Smoked Bacon Caramel Sauce or one of its many more unusual sweets. The professional staff is always pleasant and help you make your visit memorable.
