Food Scene
Very tasty vegan food even for meat-lovers. The loving Hut in the Tiensestraat has Eastern food and is our favourite. There is another one at the Pieter De Somerplein, where they serve vegan burgers.

THE place to be for cozyness! De Werf is very different from other cafés: they serve food and drinks in plastic cups or lunchboxes, and they provide blankets if you want to sit outside.
They offer meals, but I would recommend to go for a drink or a dessert. (There are yummi desserts for about 3 euro).
Unfortunately they are closed during the weekend. But if you arrive on friday: you can stop by till 12pm!

For chocolat lovers: drinks, cakes, icecream, all chocolaty things together? One place: Quetzal. It's not very big, so hard to find a spot sometimes.
