EXPLORED_ Bar Stan in Leuven

bar stan by hannelore veelaert for au pays des merveilles

Four locals were convinced that Leuven was still missing something, so they decided to fill the gap themselves.  And they were right, as Bar Stan was an immediate success! I regret that this place only emerged in Leuven after I moved to Antwerp, but whenever I’m in Leuven, I try to stop by to enjoy their living room atmosphere.   Bar Stan is located in a more residential area of the city and makes you feel at home right away with their picture perfect interior, filled with artwork by locals.  You can come here any time of the day, as they offer breakfast, coffee, lunch, after work drinks and dinner, and you can even borrow a picnic basket and blanket to enjoy your order on the grass on the other side of the street.  What’s not to love?

      A trip to Leuven might not be on the planning for you soon, but if you would decide to visit belgium some day, it’s a lovely city to spend a day or two! And I’ll be giving more tips in the future, so you’ll have plenty of stuff to do ;)

      Af en toe nog eens een bezoekje voor een trip down memory lane en om de nieuwe plekjes te ontdekken, kan vast geen kwaad ;)
