CAFÉ HOPPER

Just a stone's throw from the Museum of Fine Arts, this pleasant place to visit day and night is very popular with the people of Antwerp. It's named after the American painter Edward Hopper, who used to sketch atmospheres like this one. The clientele is young, a little arty, very hype, and there are regular jazz concerts every Sunday and Monday evening. The café opens its terrace as soon as the weather permits, on the pedestrian cobblestones and under a large, shady tree; the setting is perfect for leafing through a newspaper.
