Discover the city of Marlijne

“Shopping for clothes has slightly changed since the birth of our daughter Loet. I mostly buy things for her! But it’s good too spoil yourself sometimes, isn’t it? When that time comes, Fresh is one of my go-to places. They have plenty of gorgeous items.”

“I absolutely love having Sunday afternoon drinks in the Spoorzone. The essential hotspot is RAW, especially during the summer when they have live music. They also have the beste steak and fries of Tilburg. Delicious! No one to watch the kids? No problem. Just take them with you, they are guaranteed to have a good time!”

“The food’s great and I’m in love with their interior design. Perfect for an evening out with friends, but we can also go as a family. The children’s menu has plenty of options and Loet loves to laugh with one of the waiters who always jokes around with her. She rewards him with the drawings she makes during dinner.”

“Although we love to go to dinner as a family, we also enjoy a date night every once in a while. Boot013 is perfect. During the summer their location on the water really gives you that holiday feel. But a table inside is just as pretty!”

“A fun and educational afternoon guaranteed! The first time we visited this interactive museum I was surprised by its size and by the way they address kids. Loet’s favorite is the frog’s playroom. She just has to see it every time we visit!”

“When Loet was as young as two years old we started taking her to theatre shows for children. It’s amazing to see how fully absorbed she can be in the performances. On date night my husband and I really enjoy a night of standup comedy here.”

“My days of hanging out in bars until morning are done. Nowadays I like to get a drink and take it easier. The effect of being a mom I guess. Doloris is my favorite. The view and friendly staff, I love it. A romantic date with my husband, an afternoon with Loet or an evening out with the girls… Doloris is the place to be!”

“The woods and fens of Oisterwijk are our number one hotspot when we want to explore nature. The adventure starts in the woods and after a while it’s time for a drink and a good lunch at the Boscafé, which has a terrific playground. A great place to meet up with friends for a fun Sunday afternoon.”

“The place to take Loet and her scooter out racing! I always run into people I know in the Spoorpark, how fun is that? Make sure to bring a huge picnic basket filled with tasty treats and you’ll have an amazing afternoon. Mark my words!”

“One of my favorite shops is Truly Wooly Kids, a small boutique that sells sustainable and woolen children’s clothing. It’s actually an online shop owned by an entrepreneur from Tilburg. She does have a small studio and can be found offline during Sunday market Dwalerij.”
