Beautiful historical building, kept in the same style but now multipurpose. A cafe, museum and rooftop restaurant are all located inside. Its wonderfully done. Highly recommend visiting. Dogs allowed inside. Retro post-office of the 50s revamped into a Culture Center. Dating from the '50s, architecture by Gaston Eysselinck and designed to be used as a post office until 1999. In 2001 the city of Ostend acquired the and from 2012 it serves as a Cultural Center. The offers several performance spaces used for the performing arts, literature and expositions. The main event is the annual 'Theater aan Zee' (Theater at Sea festival) in July, in which this becomes the main hub for several performances from noon till late in the evening. 'Theater at Sea' involves many locations, not only restricted to this building. The Cultural Center is quite impressive and especially the panorama bar on top offers a grand view of the city. The only caveat is: the menu of the Cultural Café is totally overpriced, so avoid. At the time I visited they charged 19,20 EUR for fish sticks with mashed potatoes (see my photo of the menu) which is ridiculous. Although the philosophy may be culture should be accessible to everybody, this ain't the case if you want to have a bite at the Cultural Café. If you have two kids who simply want to eat fish sticks with mashed potatoes it will cost you nearly 40 EUR (see photo of menu prices). Great brasserie inside the old postal building, very nice setting. Reservations are recommended as it can get crowded. The menu is varied and service is good. A great stop when visiting Oostende as it is near the busiest areas. Nice brasserie in the center of the city. Good choice of drinks and meals. Friendly service. Great place to have dinner. The beers are cold and abundant, waiters are very kind and helpful. It's a great place where you feel home right away. The food is great and the staff will assist you with the choice of food or in general. Thank you to the kitchen for giving the great beetroot burger! Many thanks for a pleasant night! As a atmosphere, the location is very cozy and has its own vibe. It was my second visit and very happy with the service. Best part is staff and they are very supportive. They gave us very personalised suggestion which were very helpful. Food was good. Had many local and vegetarian options. Very nice mutifunctional space. Just perfect for meeting people. I've been here for several days of conferences and the atmosphere of the place was great. The stress terrace provides a place to recharge in the fresh air. The service in the restaurant is very nice <3 I had the opportunity to taste their vegetarian and vegan dishes and they were delicious :-) Nice venue from the glorious past of Ostende. Excellent breakfast.
