Café Commerce




Café "Commerce" in Leuven is an example of an authentic café serving Belgian beers, a place with charm and simplicity call it old fashioned if you prefer, a café known and appreciated by locals, the large student population and others alike. 
What I like about this place is the wooden paneling and furniture, the draft beer counter, the sidewalk chairs, the newspapers provided for the customers. 
Every little item is important to make the picture complete.
Café "Commerce" is located on the square with the beetle on the needle (see posting of November 4).

    Een echt bruin Belgisch cafe.
    Bedankt voor de reacties op mijn blog en Julianadorp ligt bovenin Noord Holland, vlak bij Den Helder.

  3. Cute place. Hope that the doors with the round windows aren't les toilettes! :)

  4. Virginia, happy to reassure you, the round windows are mirrors on wooden paneling, not doors..!!

  6. Belle foto, Anni. Mi piacciono soprattutto le ultime due, ma anche quella con il neon "Stella Artois" è molto bene. Buona notte.
