Wattman — Restaurant in Antwerp

This place is not only dog ​​friendly, but also cat friendly. I spoke to Marie, Wattman’s house cat, but not the real home cat. She actually belongs to the neighbors, but she is too fond of this cozy brasserie. The boy next door comes to fetch her four times a day, but, stubborn cat as she is, Marie keeps coming back for hugs and attention from the customers.

You can have breakfast here for almost a whole day, while you count the trendy cargo bikes that pass by. A game my pawrents enjoyed playing.

And this while you are on a relatively quiet square. It is the perfect start for a weekend...

Location: I don't know what neighbourhood this is in but it was quiet and lovely - surrounded by great architecture.

The place: Small, average decor.

The fries were crispy and not at all greasy. My friend also had the burger and liked it while the other two had different dishes and enjoyed them.

Service: OK.

Price point: I have no idea because someone else...

Lots of options for sitting inside or out in a nice little neighbourhood; I can see it being a top choice for both a warm and cozy winter afternoon inside or a warm and sunny one out the front I would have eaten if my stomach had space, but hopefully on my next trip to Antwerpen. Nice ambiance, chilled music (Chet Baker - ja, aub!) and two friendly girls working. Tot...
