Het Groot Vleeshuis
26 DonkersteegA classy taste of Argentina (picada, brochetas, …).
Great for lunch. Best smoked beef ever. In the middle of a busy shop and shopping street. You sit at the bar and watch the chef cook in no time a wonderful meal for a very good price. Amusement and good taste all together. Arrive at 12 AM or be prepared to do a little queue, they don’t take reservations. Absolutely worth the waiting, my number one spot.

Laundromat and bar in one. You can work on your laptop, enjoy a piece of pie of the day or catch up with friends while doing your laundry (or without). On top of this there are free concerts almost every week (check their Facebook-page for updates).

Not the best option to have a full meal here, but great to start your evening with a glass and six or twelve little croquetas. They only serve croquetas here, but they are the best in town.

Huge arts centre with a new roof terrace, perfect during summer. Always serves salads and spaghetti (also veggie option). Also great to have a drink in the evening, but it can get very noisy. Not the most romantic place but good to catch up with a bunch of friends.

Best cocktails ever. Book a table online during weekends. By the way: the door is always closed. You have to ring the bell. Once you come down the stairs a fair amount of spirits and a pair of knowledged bartenders are awaiting you to guide you through the menu and prepare just the right drink fit for you. Sit back and enjoy, pick a chair at the bar, a comfortable sofa at our cozy tables or have a seat on the relaxing terrace outside near the water.
