🏡 Property of the Week

Lange Leemstraat 374
We saw this listing and the word “Victorian” immediately popped into our heads (architecture students, please don’t come for us!). The façade is actually art nouveau. This loft is part of the restored candy factory “De Confiserie”. With 286 m² of living space, three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a fully equipped open kitchen. Price: €975,000
🍷 Your Weekly Date Spot

Driekoningenstraat 18
Kunthun 2 delivers plates full of flavor. It’s a Tibetan restaurant with generous portions and a menu built to be shared.
You’ll find momos (dumplings), handmade noodles, spicy dishes, and enough variety even if one of you isn’t a heat-lover.
So yeah, we’re not always looking for romance. Just good food. That’s exactly why it earns a spot.
