Lord Nelson bvba sits comfortably on Kortrijk’s bustling Korte Steenstraat, a spot that locals turn to for a casual coffee break or a light, sweet treat. The café’s hallmark is its well-crafted coffee paired with classic Belgian pancakes topped with fresh fruits, alongside other simple indulgences like apple pie and the ever-popular Liège waffle with seasonal berries.

Inside, the atmosphere is intimate but unpretentious, making it a go-to for shoppers and passersby who want to pause amid the busy shopping street. The space has a cozy, slightly quaint feel, perfect for solo visitors seeking a moment with a good espresso or friends catching up over a Verwenbord met koffie (a kind of treat platter) that complements the rich drinks.

The clientele is a mix of regulars who have appreciated this spot for years and visitors drawn by the central location. The service tends to be warm and personable, though the pace can slow when the café gets busy, which fits with its relaxed vibe rather than a rushed, grab-and-go joint.

Morning and early afternoon are prime times to enjoy the café at its liveliest without feeling overwhelmed. If you come on a weekend, expect a steady flow of people stopping by for a Paprika Croque Monsieur or a plate of fresh fruit pancakes that pair nicely with the robust espresso.

Those who value consistency in their coffee and want a calm place to soak in a slice of everyday Kortrijk life will find Lord Nelson a fitting spot. It's less about dazzling culinary flair and more about reliable coffee and familiar flavors in an authentic local setting.

Restaurant cosy dans le quartier commerçant. Les plats sont simples (dommage que la cuisson des pâtes ne soit pas tout à fait maîtrisée!) Service un peu long mais serveuses sympathiques
