AB is looking for entrepreneurs for a temporary café and restaurant | Brussels
BrusselsThe AB is looking for catering entrepreneurs who want to run a pop-up restaurant and café in the AB Café for the rest of the year from June. After all, the Ancienne Belgique will receive a renovated makeover from January 2023. In the meantime, the AB wants to give entrepreneurs the opportunity to test new concepts in its café and restaurant.
The facade of the AB in Steenstraat will be converted into an open music house from next year, including a small concert hall and a new restaurant with a roof terrace. The AB has now announced that it will replace the entire infrastructure of the current AB Café & outdoor terrace in Steenstraat from June to December.
In this way, we are looking for an innovative concept that will allow concertgoers to grab a bite to eat before their concert, but will also attract sufficient candidates for situations where no concert is requested in AB”, it says in a press release. In this way, the concert hall hopes to “be a springboard for promising entrepreneurs”. The AB does not rule out the possibility that “a successful experiment can be given a permanent place in the plans for the Steenstraat amendment”.

“AB has been known for many years for not only being an underground music venue, but also a place where the artists enjoy good food,” says director Tom Bonte. “We also want to be able to offer that to our audience in the future. The pop-up café/resto can be a foretaste, if it is in the past in the sustainability idea that AB has also been carrying out with conviction for many years – so think: short chain, local, (Brussels), veggie-based, with social engagement – this may well be ‘the beginning of a beautiful friendship’.”
