Where to have lunch on the go Belgium

A bookshop that lets you devour more than just paper! Cook & Book is an ambitious concept whose main asset is to nourish body and mind almost simultaneously. Several rooms, with a menu featuring simple cuisine (salads, steak tartare with fries, well-stocked toasts and a few well-prepared hot dishes). Before or after your coffee, we highly recommend a visit to the literature section. Wolubilis, with its event halls, is right next door, for extra culture!

In this establishment installed in an old house, one goes above all to drink a good coffee, but not only. In fact, you can also taste home-made preparations that change almost every day. To make them, the owners use local and/or organic products. There is a relaxed atmosphere without any headaches, a little bit "bobo", and that makes you want to stay there a little bit longer than expected. All in all, it's a really nice place where you'll quickly get used to. And the terrace is not made to displease us!

The Hartmans had an original idea to revitalize their point of sale in the centre of Bastogne: transforming part of it into the "Musée du Cochon" (Pig Museum). Specialized for several generations in deboning and cutting, they obviously know what they are talking about. At the counter, you'll find their preparations, sandwiches with toppings and local beers. At the back of the shop, there are a few nice tables where you can have a drink among the initiates and quietly taste pig products.

The establishment's reputation is based on its various local distinctions: ambassador of Orval (the region's famous Trappist beer), ambassador of Maitrank (flavored wine and Arlon specialty) and recognized as a "bistrot de terroir". Not far from the church of Saint-Donat d'Arlon and its famous belvedere, the restaurant serves snacks and brasserie-style dishes in a friendly troquet-style atmosphere. The Gilles d'Arlon, sponsored by the Gilles de Binche, took refuge here to stage their carnival. A lovely discovery to share.

The perfect place for a coffee break away from the hustle and bustle of the city center, where a trendy crowd gathers for a coffee or to eat different types of bagels at lunchtime, as well as delicious cakes for a gourmet break. In summer, you can enjoy their delicious smoothies and fresh fruit juices on the terrace. The interior is cosy, with leather sofas. The staff are very friendly and speak English (even to locals). You have to order at the counter.
