Hidden Belgium: Borze

Hidden Belgium: Borze

The old Antwerp café Borze is hidden down a cobbled lane in the heart of Antwerp. It’s next to the former Handelbeurs, or stock exchange, where Europe’s business leaders recently gathered to reboot the EU’s economy.

The café has a beautiful restored interior with a high ceiling, green leather benches and historic paintings. Locals come here for the relaxed mood, friendly bar staff and serious beer list.
