Café with living quarters in a prime location on the Grote Markt in Leuven

Financial data

Turnover / Revenue €1.00
EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) €1.00

A unique opportunity: the iconic café In den Engel —known as the oldest café in Leuven—with living quarters for the owner, right in the heart of the city.

For generations, In den Engel has been a fixture in Leuven. Think: the Grote Markt, front-row views of the impressive Gothic town hall and St. Peter's Church. You won't find a backdrop like this anywhere else.

Inside, there is room for 55 guests, and on the terrace, another 24 visitors can enjoy the constant passage and exceptional views. A real crowd puller, both for Leuven residents and tourists.

The upper floors are furnished as living quarters. Domiciliation is mandatory: ideal for those who want to combine living and working in one of the best locations in the city.

The property is leased from Brouwerij Haacht, which also entails a purchase obligation.

Properties in this location rarely become available—let alone a café with such history and character.

Conditions:
Takeover of the business. Monthly rent (including living space): less than €3,000.
