Café d’Overkant

Welcome to Café d’Overkant, a charming oasis nestled along the banks of the Dender in the picturesque town of Geraardsbergen, Belgium. This delightful café, located at Jan de Coomanstraat 3, offers an inviting atmosphere that beckons both cyclists and walkers alike, making it the perfect stop during your leisurely explorations.

As you approach Café d’Overkant, the rustic charm of its outdoor terrace immediately captures your attention. It's the ideal spot to unwind, sip on a refreshing drink, or indulge in a satisfying light meal while soaking in the serene riverside views. Guests have noted the warm hospitality of the owner, who is always eager to serve you with a smile and share delightful recommendations from their menu.

One of the highlights here is the renowned mattentaart, a local specialty that simply cannot be missed. Picture a slice of this creamy, subtly sweet tart, perfectly paired with a steaming cup of coffee or tea. Customers rave about the café's offerings—whether it’s a delicious croque, freshly prepared soup, or a delightful howeve ice cream to cool down on a warm day, there's something for everyone to relish. As noted by Mario Dierickx, it's a “gezellige dorpsgelegenheid” (cozy local spot) where every bite is infused with love and the essence of the region.

An experience at Café d’Overkant is not just about food and drinks; it's about the ambiance. Jacqueline Wijnhoud captures this sentiment perfectly, describing the café as “fantastisch” with its cozy environment that invites you to linger a little longer. Enjoy your time in this serene space, where the sounds of nature create a harmonious backdrop for conversation and relaxation.

Café d’Overkant is also a testament to the community spirit, welcoming visitors with open arms, whether you’re on a cycling journey or a thoughtful stroll. Marie-Louise Coppens (Wiske) highlights the peaceful garden terrace that enhances the café's inviting charm. Even if you happen to visit on a Monday when they're closed, like Anton Haak discovered, you'll find yourself dreaming of your return for another round of their delightful offerings.

So next time you find yourself wandering through Geraardsbergen, make sure to stop by Café d’Overkant. It's more than a café—it's a vibrant piece of the local culture that promises comfort, community, and culinary delights that will keep you coming back for more.
