Tapas | Wine | Friends | DJ

If there’s one place that captures the joy of Spanish dining, it’s PEPS. This brand-new wine and tapas bar in Oud-West is buzzing from the moment you walk in - warm lights, the hum of conversations, and that unmistakable energy that makes you want to stay for hours.

The menu is all about sharing: delicious tapas, comforting classics, and a great selection of wines. We especially loved the La Muchacha red - rich, smooth, and just perfect alongside a table full of plates to share.

Owner Pepijn and his team make you feel instantly at home. Whether you’re stopping by for a few glasses of wine at the bar, or settling in for a long dinner with friends, PEPS is the kind of place where everyone belongs.

The interior? Think cozy corners, warm tones, and plenty of lively bar seats. Perfect for groups, dates, or a spontaneous after-work drink.

In short: great vibes, great wine, great people. Great after dinner weekend spot!

Warm | Elegant | Mediterranean | Effortless

Just opposite of the RAI at Europaplein, Toet brings together the expertise and quality from the team behind Troef.

Step inside and you’re welcomed by a warm, stylish space. Soft tones, elegant details, and that familiar sense of hospitality that instantly makes you feel at home.

The menu is inspired by the Mediterranean coast, combining generous, vibrant flavours with French finesse. Every dish feels thoughtful and refined, yet still easy to enjoy - the kind of food that invites you to share and linger.

Perfect for a cozy dinner or a few plates with friends, Toet is that rare mix of relaxed and refined and we love it for that
