We have all faced that kind of appointments : we don’t know who’s going to join, some will join but a bit late, another cancelled at the very last minute, the other one is coming but with his two kids as he couldn’t find a baby-sitter.
When I face that kind of mis-organization, I choose Cook&Book.
As it’s a bookshop, you don’t mind waiting for someone, you find things to see. As the place is spacious and the staff open mind, you know that you all figure out how to sit when everyone is there. If it’s summertime, even better : the terrace is huge.
If it’s only for a drink, it’s also perfect, they have the music department, which is also a wine bar.
I have nothing to say against this place : it’s spacious, modern, nice books, friendly staff. Oh yes, actually I have one thing: it’s not in my neighborhood.

I highly recommend here the Thai soup which comes with rice and salad. I like to go there after shopping in W shopping centre.
Oh yes, this was one of the big must-sees on my trip to Belgium in 2010… Unfortunately we left it until the last full day and were pressed for time, but we enjoyed a great meal there and about an hour to roam the bookstore.
I wish I wasn’t so far away, it would definitely be a place I’d hang out in often.
