Food Scene

Perfect BYOB with a menu that changes with fresh and seasonal ingredients. Very nice and cosy ambiance with garage doors that are opened during summer. We love everything about that restaurant!

Our favourite hidden gem around. It's a small japanese canteen by a lovely couple (a canadian girl in love with japan who met her alter ego there) . Together they created that small authentic place. You'll find only a few items on the menu (okonomiyaki, takoyaki) but everything is freshly prepared under your eyes with love! (You MUST taste the desert though).. Be carefull it's not opened on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays).

Majestique is a famous bar/restaurant, with it's particular mid-century design. You'll enjoy nice wine and beers with fine food and oysters. They serve nice gastro tapas that you can share or keep it all for yourself. It's one of our favourite place to take a drink and eat with our friends on Friday nights. They're also opened for brunch but only on Sunday. Perfect balance between chill and trendy.

You have two choices there: Either you go for ramens (you can take out or dine in) or you go for the Izakaya (Japanese tapas). We like both options!
