Food Scene
This is our favourite place to hang out. They have a great terrace with a lot of sun but it’s also super cosy inside. Nice people, good food and just 2 minutes away.

This weird looking, mushroom shaped building on the Mercatorplein is actually quite a good place to have lunch or a drink. They have a cosy fireplace to gather around when the rain’s pouring down.

I love this place for almost everything! They have the best coffee, great pizza’s, breakfast for sinners and saints and everything in between. It’s a bit further away but on the way to the city centre.

Parks & Nature
We look out over this small but beautifully green park. It's a great place for a short stroll or a morning jog. The cafe Terrasmus is one of our favourite hang-outs with our kids.
