Experience the Heart of Belgium at Trawantel Cafe

Nestled in the charming town of Westerlo, Trawantel Cafe invites you to step into a cozy retreat where the spirit of Belgium comes alive. Located at Boerenkrijglaan 2, this delightful café, overseen by the warm and hospitable owner Lucie, offers visitors an authentic taste of local culture wrapped in the comfort of a "bruine café," a beloved traditional brown bar.

As you approach, you're greeted by the inviting atmosphere that characterizes Trawantel. Picture this: a quaint terrace bathed in sunlight, where you can indulge in a refreshing drink while the world moves rhythmically around you. Customers rave about their experiences—Judith Coubergs enthusiastically shares, "Eindelijk nog eens een café gevonden waar je echte coca cola kan drinken," reflecting on the joy of enjoying the real deal in this homely spot.

The interior is adorned with rustic charm, perfectly mirroring the ambiance of a typical Belgian café. Locals gather here, and Rebecca Templer notes, "The owner Lucie is a lovely lady, very friendly, the locals are warm and charming," creating a sense of community that makes every visit feel special. You’ll find that this establishment isn’t just about beverages; it’s about building connections and experiencing the heart of Westerlo.

During your visit, slip into a conversation with friendly faces, or simply sit back, as Mr. cvx describes, "Spent the night sitting outside this bar watching the world go by," while enjoying curated tunes and the lively atmosphere that fills the air. Whether you prefer a peaceful afternoon or a vibrant evening filled with laughter, Trawantel's terrace, however close to the bustling crossroads, offers the perfect vantage point to absorb local life.

However, do heed the words of Werner Janssens regarding the busy traffic by the terrace—while it can be lively, the vibrant energy of the surroundings adds to the café's unique charm. It’s a quintessential spot to escape your routine and discover the simple joys of café culture in Belgium.

So, if you're ever in Westerlo, Trawantel Cafe promises more than just refreshment. It offers an inviting embrace of true Belgian hospitality, delicious beverages, and an atmosphere that cannot be replicated. Don’t miss out on reconnecting with the local charm—pay a visit, and experience the moments of joy that Trawantel Cafe serves with every glass!

Lovely 'bruine café'. Very typical small Belgian bar. The owner Lucie is a lovely lady, very friendly, the locals are warm and charming.

Leuk terrasje in de zon maar opgepast, de auto's rijden bij wijze van spreken bijna over je tafeltje. Is op een hoekje van een toch wel druk kruispunt.
