Normo — Restaurant in Antwerp

Came here on a weekday around noon for a coffee.

A wide variety of clientele and a chatty, almost pub like atmosphore around the bar make feel...

Place is owned by a family with a child, so there are often kids here, someone comes with a dog, students come to work on projects, in general, the atmosphere is extremely pleasing. one of the best coffee in the city is prepared here, and the place is located on a quiet street next to a beautiful public garden, so if you get tired of sitting inside, you can...
