De eigenaars zijn toppers, ze zijn goedlachs en de service is steeds warm. De leukste en gekste avondjes zijn steeds in den witten hert. Maar evengoed de rustige avondjes om "bij te babbelen"

We gaven onlangs onze trouwreceptie (wat al snel uitmondde in een feest) in Den Witten Hert. De eigenaars stonden voor al onze vragen open, regelden alles en zorgden voor een geweldige sfeer. Dikke, dikke aanrader!

Very typical local Antwerp 'brown café' with a history. In the center of the Deurne, within walking distance of the beautiful Rivierenhof Park
