Buchbar

Antwerp


This quiet, cosy cafe with a mini-bookshop section feels like a neighbourhood home away from home, with excellent coffee (from €2.50), cakes, simple healthy breakfasts and lunch choices, and some delicious home-made lemonades (try the ginger-lemon).

Do look up at the frieze of pig- and sausage-themed tiles – a legacy from the cafe's original incarnation as a pre-WWII butcher's shop.
