Aperçu

ViaVia Joker travellers cafes each are meeting places for travellers and lovers of world kitchen, a holiday ambience or a homey talk at the bar.

As the first of all the ViaVia’s we took our first steps in 1995. Ever since, we provide you with dishes from all over the world. From an Indonesian Ikan Pepes to a Mexican Chivichanga. From a Senegales Yassa Poulet to a Peruvian Pastel de Choclo. Housed in two typical townhouses, we aim for a homey atmosphere eventhough we gathered our recipes in places far from home. Of course you’re also more than welcome to browse through our library of travel guides or to enjoy a drink surrounded by bamboo on our terrace.

Do you suffer from holiday blues? You want to find some inspiration for your next trip? Or do you want to taste a slice of all the good things North, East, South and West have to offer? We love to accompany you with a bite of the world kitchen and the good vibes that come with that!

Café/Resto

Since we’re a travellers café, we serve you a selection from the world kitchen. Our menu changes weekly, although we do follow some principles: there’re always three vegetarian options, one dish with chicken, one with meat and one with fish. Furthermore, every day we have a list of tapas on offer.

And of course… there’s always our famous spaghetti and South-African bobotie…

If you’d want to make a reservation: a table is only one phone call away: 0032 16 40 40 45 (we don’t take reservations for a table by e-mail).

À propos de nous

Our core business is to bring people together with a love for world kitchen and travelling.

We’re proud to say that everything that comes out of our kitchen, is fresh and homemade (except for the bread).

We offer various fairtrade products, e.g. coffee, tea, some of our wines and juices.

We do hope that the joy we derive from doing what we do, reflects in the way we serve our customers and in the way we present our colourful dishes. We realise we’re lucky to be a part of the ViaVia. That’s why we want to share this fortune with others: since 2017 we decided to give a a share of our profit to a good cause. Last edition, vzw Recht op Migratie received the honours.

Meeting room

Meeting room

Since the covid pandemic, our meeting room has become part of our restaurant. Some customers let us know that they appreciate the fact that we provide a more quiet space, so we’re happy to please them.
That implies that our meeting room isn’t available exclusively for groups. If you don’t mind sharing the space with some other lovely cumstomers, you can send an email to heverlee[at]viavia.world if you would like to make a reservation for a bigger group.
We don’t offer buffets anymore, you can just order à la carte. We don’t limit the amount of different dishes you can order as a group, we do kindly ask you not to order tapas as a main dish.

Take-away

We still have a limited take-away menu. To see our menu, check out our online order form!
