This week’s edition👋
From a women-only afterwork to a hidden book launch with tattoos and drinks, to free picnic with drinks & pizza in the park (yes, really). And that’s just the start.
We’ve got an Easter egg 🐰 hunt for the kids and a vintage market at Theaterplein. Plus… one brunch spot we can’t stop thinking about.
Let’s get into it 👇

🗺️ ACTIVITY

🚴♂️Kick off Ronde van Vlaanderen
Head to Grote Markt for the start of the Ronde van Vlaanderen, where the city fills up with cycling fans, team buses, nervous pros and people holding a beer at 8am like it’s completely normal.
📅 Sunday morning. Show starts 8:15am. Race starts 10am
📍 Grote Markt
🏡 PROPERTY

Keizerstraat 1 - 1, 2000 Antwerpen
Brooklyn loft vibes right in the historic centre of Antwerp.
This ground floor 160m² gets lot of daylight (something we don’t see a lot in Belgium).
Step outside and you get your own private outdoor corner, think your morning coffee, plant jungle or end-of-day drinks. It can be yours for €575,000.
🍽 BRUNCH SPOT


We are Stoked! Yes, we know cheesy, but we had to.
You know when you walk into a place and you just feel there’s more behind it than just food?
That’s Stoked.
Everything feels genuine. From the ingredients to the way you’re welcomed in.
No surprise they’ve built such strong Google reviews. The food is amazing, but it’s really the people behind it (Paul & Zsu).
Everything is made from scratch, using produce from local, small-scale farms.
And their New Zealand-style pies… Don’t leave without taking one home. We had the steak, stout & cheese. Halfway through, we already knew: we’re coming back.
This Easter Sunday, they’re doing a Sunday Roast!
€48 for 3 courses (Meat or Vegetarian). Kids menu? €20.
We got a sneak peek, and there’s one ingredient we didn’t expect… and it completely stole the show!
