Super gimmicky. Being from NYC myself, I guess you can say that the burgers here are a homage to…read moresome of NYC's famous landmarks. I came here unexpectedly because everything in Antwerp seems to close at 7pm and was told that I had a shot of not starving myself at Old Town...where I found myself pulled in by the bright, flashy Broadway-esque lights as a desperate salvation for food. I'm no burger expert and there is no really such thing as a "New York burger". A burger is a burger. I had the Empire Cheeseburger with and overall, it was an enjoyable burger. Large in size and sandwiched between a toasted sesame roll, the beef patty and toppings were juicy and tasty. Whatever that "secret sauce" was, it wasn't that distinctive, so I couldn't really taste it. I had a side order of Belgian fries and I wasn't too excited about those; they were more on the dry side. Pricey for a fast food restaurant, but the good quality of the burger totally did the price justice. If you add on fries to your burger, there's a "deal" for an additional €3.60, which I didn't find it that much of a deal since the fries were subpar. The atmosphere of this place is really nice, though. Seems like mostly the young come here after work for happy hour to hang out.

Delicious. Cool spot and great burger. Bun was fresh. Definitely stop by. Beer was also good and…read morecold.

Mmm...my sandwich really hit the spot. Bánh mì is really popular and easy to find in the States, but this was the first time I've found a place in Antwerp that serves them. What is a bánh mì? It's a bit of a hybrid - a French/Vietnamese sandwich. You have seasoned and grilled meat paired with pickled vegetables and fresh lettuce served on a baguette. And to pair it with a wine, beer, or soft drink for only 8 euros? That's hard to beat!

By the way, it was here that I first noticed what I suspect to be an Antwerp fad: the explicit option on the menu to beef up your breakfast with a glass of cava. :-) The biggest surprise came on the way to the bathroom: there is a really cool basement lounge, very impressive.

As i first walked in, it wasn't that inviting, untill i went downstairs. There you have this old basement which is transformed in a cool lounge place with loads of seating. The authenticity of the building makes it very cosy and inviting. I ordered one of their specials called "Winterkoffie" It was a special roast with chocolate, cinnamon and oranges. It was ok... but nothing so special that it blew my mind. As a second drink I ordered their Chai and from what i remembered, a good Chai is hard to find but i think a found a place in Antwerp! I really like this place and i'll bet i'll visit some more but what keeps it from being a real coffeeshop as what i'm looking for, they're missing WIFI!

Situated around the corner from Zuidpark, my gf and i started our afternoon with cappuccino; salmon and avocado on dark rye bun (me) and a salmon with avocado salad (her) followed by a pancake 'breakfast'.
