My husband worked in Lier many years ago and thought to visit and see if the fries vendor was still…read morearound. Unfortunately, the place was gone so we started looking for a lunch place and came across De Kolvenier. It was a nice surprise since the disappointment of the fries place not being around, we didn't expect much. We had their grilled cheese sandwich and a tuna salad baguette. Both were tasty! The nicer surprise was the pannenkoek special starting at 2pm during the week. You get two pannenkoeken with a coffee or tea for 5€. You can't beat that and it was lekker!

Bezemsteeltjeis is a quaint little bar in the university area in close promixty to the city center…read more This is obviously a locals bar, but on suggestion from local friends went here....different. Not in a bad way....but as it was explained to me....I had to see for myself. This bar holds the biggest collection (over 1000) of witches and broomsticks....all GIVEN to owner by customers. Decorated everywhere....in all corners....and hanging from ceiling. Small bar....is normal for Europe. Great beer selection....but come on. We ARE in Belgium....home of 100's of beers. Owner, Gino, is nice and will talk your whole stay. There is a pool table, casino game, pinball game....along with plenty of seating at and away from bar. All in all...a great visit and next time I am in Antwerp I will stop in for another drink and look at the witches.
