Flemish star chef Kobe Desramaults reopened this former supermarket as a hip bakery/lunch/dinner spot. Not your ordinary bakery, but one where you can find yeast bread coming straight from the oven. Or you can pass by to enjoy a lovely lunch or dinner, served with a portion of warm and freshly baked bread.
The atmosphere is casual: reservations cannot be made so you may just have to wait a bit. Also the interior design is quite cosy and has that certain ‘living room’ feel to it.

inside, plenty of concerts, dance performances, theatre, and parties. plus a budget friendly café and restaurant for that intellectual moment (it was created as a "socialist" cultural institution: "Vooruit!" means "Forward!").
