🍷 YOUR DINNER SPOT
Last week we tried Brewers’Kitchen and it was one of the most cosy places we’ve visited in a while. It’s a small, relaxed Belgian restaurant where the chef changes the menu based on what’s fresh. Products come straight from a farmer. For every dish, they can recommend a beer to go with it.
