Down Town Nijmegen: the city's best brunch hotspot

For the tastiest breakfast bowls you have to go to downtown in Nijmegen

Over the past year I have driven across the country in my new Peugeot 208 in search of the best hotspots for my new book STAYCATIONFor this Nijmegen city guide, I spent a weekend exploring the hotspots and other must-see destinations. That's how I discovered Downtown Nijmegen! 

For me, one of the city's best coffee and all-day brunch hotspots remains Downtown Nijmegen. It's Paris meets New York, from breakfast bowls to croissants and irresistible cakes. There's also a lovely terrace in good weather.

Fun fact: Down Town Nijmegen is also a great place to host a party, for example, a birthday or baby shower. Are you in the creative field? Then you can also rent the space for an exhibition. Awesome!

Just back from Catalonia and I thought: I'll share some tips right away. During our road trip, we stayed two nights in the Ebro Delta. An incredibly fun stop for families and foodies alike, where there is plenty to do. · A boat trip to the Musclarium is a must! Here you eat oysters and mussels straight from the farm, in the middle of the sea. · Admire the flamingos and black ibises that can be found here all year round. · Rice is grown in the Ebro Delta all year round. For paella, but Kensho also makes sake and miso from it! You can visit them during a tasting. · Cycling along the rice fields, canoeing on the Ebro River, and visiting various beaches. It was still a bit too cold now, but there is plenty to do. · The towns are very low-key and not that exciting, but you can find fantastic local food there. From the Michelin-awarded Les Moles* to local eateries like Vermuteria Bonmarisc and Lo Tinglado. We ate a lot of fish, but also anemone fritters (a first!). Now back to work, and I’m going to create an extensive travel guide of this road trip through Catalonia, but you’ll want to save these tips for a future adventure. ✖️✖️✖️ 🖊️ @anne_de_buck { In this post, I share tips for the Ebro Delta in Spain (Delta de l'Ebre).

This is your ticket to Japan without taking a plane 🥢 @tewatashi.ams in De Pijp serves an authentic Edo-Mae Sushi Experience and is super consistent in their quality. It's the place we keep going back to when we have something to celebrate <3. In this video I'm sharing the 2 hour experience in 60 seconds.
