About

Nestled in the heart of Ostend’s picturesque city centre, just behind the dike, Expo & Kafie invites locals and visitors alike to a vibrant coffee‑and‑food experience that bridges the best of Mediterranean freshness with Belgian culinary charm. Its open hours run from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm, with the kitchen opening a half an hour earlier to prepare an array of breakfast favourites and light lunches. Whether you’re looking to start a day of culture, relax after a stroll along the beach, or plan a small gathering, the cafe’s welcoming ambience and well‑structured menu cater to every posture of dining. The menu showcases a delightful range of options: from the artisanal “luxe breakfast boxes” featuring fresh juices, artisanal pastries and smoked salmon, to a selection of wholesome sandwiches, salads and a rotating seasonal fruit platter. For those who prefer an on‑site meal, a range of one‑hour‑and‑half group bookings is available, offering a laid‑back setting for business meetings, birthday celebrations or intimate gatherings. Catering services extend to custom events of every size, with cheese buffets, brunchs and personalized dessert stations tailored for parties of ten or more. Expo & Kafie’s commitment to quality and sustainability is evident in its locally sourced ingredients, vegan options, gluten‑free offerings and eco‑friendly packaging. Friendly staff, a sunny terrace overlooking the street, and a relaxed yet meticulous service make every visit a memorable part of Ostend’s cultural tapestry.
