Tucked away at the base of the begijnhof, Infirmerie is a relaxed brasserie incorporating elements of historical design from a 1701 building that had been a chapel before becoming the begijns' infirmary. The waterside terrace is especially appealing, ideal for drinks or afternoon coffee and cake (€5) when the main kitchen is closed between meals.
