een pracht van een café zoals er helaas nog maar weinig zijn. Supervriendelijke en persoonlijke service, caféspelen, altijd een klapke met de lokale bevolking, en gegarandeerd een smile tot achter je oren

Geweldig publiek, je kan er kaarten, flipperen op de flipperkast, bingokast, biljarten enz... je hebt er een mooi tuin terras dat deels verwarmd en overdekt is, toffe uitbaatster, kortom een gezellige café aan het oud station van St-Denijs-Westrem, vlot bereikbaar met het openbaar vervoer . Toppie
