Drinks & Nightlife
One of the greatest places to sit outside for a (local) craft beer, some delicious (vegetarian) snacks. And if the weather makes sitting outside less tempting, the inside is also very inspiring.
Café de Ceuvel is part of De Ceuvel, a former shipyard transformed into a sustainable and creative workplace, by lifting old houseboats onto the land, and equipping them with sustainable technologies such as composting toilets, heat exchangers, solar panels and helophyte filters.
