Café Hollander in Milwaukee, Wisconsin is designed to look like one of the bars you'd find in the Benelux region of Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. As with these traditional grand cafes, Café Hollander is meant to be the kind of place where locals can meet over an espresso, appetizer, a whole meal or just a strong glass of ale. Much of the décor at Café Hollander is also dedicated to the tradition of cycling in this part of Europe. The walls are decorated with various bikes and the restaurant even sponsors a racing team. As such, you'll find ample room to park your bike when you stop in for a bacon jam burger, Belgian cheese snack or a frites cone.
