Discover the city of Paquito

“Every week I treat myself to the best lunch in town: a glass of juice and a grilled cheese sandwich called ‘Zoals ’t hoort’. This is Dutch for ‘as it should be’ because it’s how this sandwich should be: crispy bread filled with cheese, ham and sauce on the side. My advice: order your juice with two extra ginger shots. Spicy!”

“Well know all over town. Highly recommended if you’re in the mood for artisanal French fries, snacks and milkshakes. Ever since I was a little boy De Heikant was my favorite place to eat some fries. Looking for a not so healthy but oh so tasty bite to eat? This is where it’s at!”

“013 Poppodium holds a special place in my heart. This is where my journey into the Tilburg nightlife started. Which has been a huge inspiration for my career in the music industry as a DJ and producer. Their calendar is really diverse and varies from club concepts to small and bigger concerts. There’s something for everyone.”

“A total must-visit. You can really taste the love and passion they put into preparing their artisanal sandwiches. Are you into truffle mayonnaise? Make sure to try the ‘Rosbief Speciaal’. To top off my stay at Kras2 I always order a brownie and an espresso before leaving with a big smile and a belly filled with good food.”

“When wandering in the direction of the Oude Markt you cannot miss the bright orange colors of T.F.G. also known as The Fat Greek. You absolutely have to try their pita bread filled with gyros. Still some room left for a milkshake or a cocktail? Go for it ‘cause they’re very tasty as well!”

“If I want to look fresh I pay Mint & Pepr a visit. As soon as I enter I’ll have a nice chat with Margriet or Tjerk, the owners and partners in crime. I usually ask them if they have the good stuff: new, fashionable items they can show me. Luckily, they never disappoint.”

“Factorium Cultuurmakers is an art institution located in downtown Tilburg. Besides offering all sorts of courses and workshops, it’s also a creative meeting place. Throughout the year they host various shows and events with dance, theatre, music and musical performances.”

“A green oasis in the middle of Tilburg. You can easily explore the park using the various walkways. The Urban Sports Area is spectacular. Kids who aren’t afraid to show their skills on BMX bikes or scooters; awesome! Spoorpark is the ideal spot to kick back on the grass and enjoy the cool vibe. Time to unwind!”

“Without a doubt my favorite bar in town. The perfect place to grab a beer with friends. I usually order a Lagunitas A Little Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale. Very good! They regularly invite a guest DJ to play some sweet tunes and occasionally organize small club nights.”

“Sportcomplex Drieburcht in Tilburg Noord is where I go to every week to swim some laps. You can also enjoy one of their steam cabins or their jacuzzi. Drieburcht is where I relax and start my week. In other words: the ultimate hotspot for your workout routine.”
