The Walput VOF

The Walput VOF is a well-established café on Gentstraat that blends the casual friendliness of a neighborhood spot with a lively atmosphere, especially when the local football matches are on. It’s the kind of place where locals feel at home, often striking up conversations with familiar faces while also leaving plenty of room for groups or solo visitors to enjoy a relaxed break.

The café's sunny terrace at the back is a favored feature, offering a pleasant spot to unwind with a drink on warmer days. Whether you're arriving on foot, by bike, bus, or car, there’s generally no trouble finding a place to settle in, making it a convenient stop throughout the day or early evening.

What sets The Walput apart is its spirited vibe during live football broadcasts, where the large screen becomes the center of attention and the mood quickly lifts. This draws a crowd keen on the game but also looking for a social atmosphere that feels inclusive and upbeat. On quieter days, it still holds the charm of an easygoing café where friendly service matches the laid-back setting.

Visitors who appreciate a mix of sociability and comfort will find themselves at ease here—regulars will enjoy the familiarity, while newcomers can expect an approachable environment that encourages casual chitchat or focused game watching. If you’re planning a visit, catching a football match is a good way to experience the café at one of its liveliest moments, whereas afternoons on the terrace suit those looking for a sunnier, more relaxed vibe.
