A nice villa right next to the wather of the Leie. If you're coming by boat they even have a quay. The food is very nice. Quite expensive, but it's worth it. Not a bad idea to book ahead.

WATT: Pop up concept: You go in to the complex that looks like a very old office building. It is a protected monument where you will find one of the best coffeebars and one of the best cocktailbars (a concept from the famous cocktailbar Jiggers called Pony's).
The coffee tastes like heaven. You can choose which kind of beans etc. When you enter the complexgate, the coffee bar is on your right side.
The cocktailbar is at the right side. They measure the cocktails completely to your liking and this for 10EU, in the real Jiggersbar it would cost you a bit more. Even their mocktails taste like a real cocktail. You ll get tipsy just by the taste of it.
Once you ll enter this heavenly place it will feel like a real discovery, like a place the other tourists couldn't find.
Openinghours:
Coffee: Thursday and Friday from 10AM till 6PM, Saturdays and sundays from 11AM till 18PM
Cocktails: Thursday and Friday from 6PM till 2AM, Saturdays and sundays from 3PM till 3AM
