All price ranges, as well. During the summer it is very crowded, but that just means better people watching! I had a great time trying to figure out what the popular stores in Antwerp are by watching what bags were in everyone's hand. We happened to be in town during the huge summer sale, so we found some great deals as well. I definitely recommend doing some shopping and people watching here if you're in Antwerp!

Den Tir is een grote, super gezellig en mooi ingericht grand-café met een gigantisch terras én een rokersruimte. Iedere week is er een ander weekmenu met soep, hoofdgerecht en koffie voor maar elf euro!!! Het ontbijt is daar trouwens ook echt ongelooflijk lekker. Vriendelijk personeel, niet goedkoop maar ook zeker niet duur en overheerlijk. Aanrader! Best wel reserveren want deze zaak heeft heel goed te doen en zit bijna iedere avond vol.
