N<\/span>athalie Gouwy grew up just a few steps away from Eetcaf\u00e9 Basseville in Wulvergem. She came here quite often as a kid when it was still run by the Ally family\u2014the same family that had owned the caf\u00e9, originally called \u201cA La Basse Ville\u201d, since its beginnings in 1830. Early on, the caf\u00e9 shared its red brick building with a shoe cobbler on one side (some of their original wooden shoe lasts still hang from the ceiling) and a general store on the other. Those rooms now offer seating for people interested in a meal or watching a cycling race on TV. The late Frank Vandenboucke, a renowned Belgian cyclist during the 1990s, was a frequent visitor who often sat for a card game with his supporters. In 2018, when the caf\u00e9\u2019s fifth-generation owner, Sabine Ally, was no longer able to continue the family business due to health complications with her feet, two different owners unsuccessfully tried their hand at running the caf\u00e9\u2014one even removed the coffee machine to make way for a beer fridge that would allow for a menu of over 400 offerings. So when Nathalie and her husband, Christof Verde, decided to take over the caf\u00e9 in 2023 and restore its status as a true village pub, they knew they had big shoes to fill. They reopened the kitchen to offer a simple menu and they focused on serving local beers, such as the Wulvergemse Tripel and de Platte Tuub from Basseville Brew Works. Christof, a saxophone player, installed a jukebox and hung old musical instruments on the walls to complement the beer trays affixed to the wooden ceiling. Today, Eetcaf\u00e9 Basseville is a regular stop for locals and tourists from all walks of life thanks to Nathalie and Christof\u2019s \u201cleave your shoes at the door\u201d attitude, and of course, the coffee machine that they brought back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
