Park Nieuw Zuid
Hi neighbor 🐝
After weeks of cold and rain, this weekend hits 27°C. Big Picnic at Park Nieuw Zuid. Jazz Middelheim at Park Den Brandt. And plenty more outside plans to make up for lost time.
Antwerp Coffee Week also runs all week across 81 locations. And we found a little courtyard spot in Zuid serving natural wine and rose kombucha that you need to know about!

🔍 THE FIND
Verschansingstraat 53-55
tam tam zuid stole our hearts! Lars welcomed us in like we’d been there before. From the outside it looks like a shop, but it has a nice cute little courtyard behind it where you can enjoy you’re favorite natural wine.
tam tam zuid focuses on artisanal and natural products, made by people who clearly care about what they do.
We tried the rose kombucha by Figa and a natural white wine from Sicily. Lars told us he’s currently hunting for more natural wines made here in Belgium.
More of this, please.
