Hidden Belgium: Tinsel

Hidden Belgium: Tinsel

Tine Lejeune (Tinsel to her friends) recently moved her cafe from Antwerp’s Vlaamsekaai to a new location on the rather forgotten Sint-Paulusplaats. She has renovated a former brown cafe on the square to create a beautiful new coffee spot decorated in a bright Nordic style.

Here she serves healthy breakfasts, bowls of soup and homemade cakes. The cafe also has a vast terrace that catches the sun for most of the day.
