Eetcafé De Taxandrijn
Turnhout, Belgium
The read// why locals go
Named for Taxandria, the old name for this stretch of the Kempen, De Taxandrijn is a lunchtime eetcafé on Turnhout's Otterstraat. The eetcafé is a Flemish and Dutch format worth explaining: a café that also cooks, where the food is plain, the portions are honest and nobody is asked to linger over a menu. Here it runs at lunchtime, with plates around €12, on a street that carries Turnhout's everyday shopping traffic rather than its restaurant crowd. Expect regional cooking, small prices, and a room built around its regulars.
