📍Our spot this week is Orso Pizzeria

We’re sticking with Zurenborg. Known with all the locals. This time, we stopped by Orso Pizzeria, just a minute from Dageraadplaats.
Orso pizza with extra truffle and (cause sharing is caring) we split our pizza to share the Salsiccia.
Everything paired with their Leoni natural wine, produced at their own winery in Italy🇮🇹

📍Our spot this week is MINK .antwerp

A new coffee bar, fully adopted by the Zurenborg neighborhood.

Not only did someone steal one of the plants at the front door, but after they posted about it, another neighbor bought them a new one. That says enough about the kind of place this is becoming!

They also serve pastries from Nona’s Bakery and Swedemarie, which pair dangerously well with coffee. We tried the flat white and the iced barista cacao.

Fridays and Saturdays, they do coffee & apero until 6pm. This is becoming a spot where people quickly start recognizing each other.

Nobody prepared us for this. Two weeks ago it was raining. Now it’s a heatwave. Classic Belgium. But there’s a reason to...

📍Our spot this week is tam tam zuid

Lars welcomed us in like we’d been there before. From the outside it looks like a shop, but it has a nice cute little courtyard behind it where you can enjoy your favorite natural wine 🍷

They focus on artisanal and natural products, made by people who clearly care about what they do.

We tried the rose kombucha by F**a and a natural white wine from Sicily. Lars told us he’s currently hunting for more natural wines made here in Belgium 🇧🇪

More of this, please!

Our find this week
📍Bar Pilon .pilon

After a year they really earned their spot as one of the neighborhood bars that makes Sint-Andriesplaats feel like a cosy village in the middle of the city!

The crowd we saw: an older couple sipping an afternoon espresso, a family letting their kids play further on the square, and a group of friends sharing a bottle.

We also tried their mini pizzas, which honestly disappeared faster than expected 😅
