Local before arrival
A storehouse for hops, cheese, wine and tobacco? Long ago…since 2009, the Felix Pakhuis is a posh restaurant known for its sundowners on the terrace Friday evenings and for its traditional Belgian home-style cooking on Sundays. Look up from your vol-au-vent or your stew and you’ll bear witness to the building’s centuries-old history. Heads up bargain hunters! The free halls surrounding the restaurant in Eilandje, the old harbour, often hold sample sales by Belgium’s top designers.
