Coffee places are a dime a dozen. But discovering an establishment where you feel at home and where the staff go out of their way to offer you exceptional drinks and sweets, that’s rarer. To help you out, here are 5 cafés in Namur to try out straight away.
1. Café fleuri Namur
Located in the historic center, Café Fleuri (formerly Café Bandit) will win you over with its home-cooked dishes made from fresh, tasty ingredients. Don’t hesitate to try their charcuterie and cheese aperitif platter or their gravalax salmon, mascarpone, dill and lemon pancakes.
They’re open every day and, to our delight, offer brunch in addition to lunch. In the evening, you can dine on burgers and pastas, drink a beer or sip a cocktail.
Rue des Fossés Fleuris 38, 5000 Namur
2. Coffee & More
Close to the Namur theater you’ll find Coffee & More, a cozy café where time flies. Come for breakfast, lunch or to wait out an afternoon shower. Open from 8am to 6pm Tuesday to Friday and 9am to 6pm on Saturday. Pastries, soups, crêpes, sandwiches, everything is homemade. Don’t miss Pauline’s carrot cake, speculoos/peanut butter cheesecake or banana cake with chocolate chips and walnuts, all served with a delicious coffee or latte!
Rue Emile Cuvelier 21, 5000 Namur
3. Café Nomade Namur
A coworking space in the mornings and on Mondays, a coffee lounge in the afternoons, all combined with the Boréal decoration boutique, Café Nomade likes to mix it up and encourage us to make discoveries. Right next to the cable car, you’ll enjoy views of the Sambre and the Citadelle. Whether you’re here for a quiet moment of work or just to have a good time, you can enjoy a crunchy latte, a cookie latte or a cappuccino. And if you prefer cold drinks, Café Nomade showcases Belgian productions with fruity waters from Simone a soif or Ritchie lemonades. And because there’s nothing like a sweet treat to accompany a good coffee, you’ll find delicious cookies, brownies and chocolate moelleux. On the spot or to take away!
Rue des Brasseurs 51, 5000 Namur
4. Bubble Coffee Waffle & Tea
At Bubble Coffee Waffle & Tea, you can order coffee, latte, macchiato or hot chocolate, but you’re more likely to come for their Bubble Tea with tapioca pearls, or even more original and trendy, their Bubble waffles. These are waffles baked in special waffle irons in the shape of multiple large bubbles. They come with topings and ultra-gourmet sauces. Wide choice, generous portions and Instagram-friendly photos! Let yourself be tempted, you’ll be jogging on Sunday!
Rue de la monnaie 13, 5000 Namur
5. La Cantina
Last but not least, La Cantina, a tapas bar and restaurant ideal for Spanish-style aperitifs. In summer, relax on the terrace with a red or white sangria, unless you prefer a Spritz. In winter, try their tea! La Cantina specializes in tapas, both classic and revisited. The portions are generous and gourmet. They have a room for 10 people that can be privatized for your special events.
