Collagen is a protein naturally produced by the body. It’s present everywhere, from our bones to our tendons, from our corneas to our muscles! This protein is responsible for the elasticity and suppleness of our skin, and the beauty of our hair. The problem is that, as we age, our bodies gradually stop producing it. Hence the popularity of collagen supplements, especially from the age of 35-40. At Barcine, a café located in the heart of downtown Brussels, you can not only add them to the drinks of your choice, but to certain dishes too!
Collagen on the menu
Barcine’s name is said to come from “roots”, as the café prides itself on drawing on the true roots of all ingredients to offer its customers a quality menu. During the day, you can opt for one of the many coffees on offer. Whether espresso or latte, they’re sure to satisfy even the most demanding caffeine lovers. Not a fan of coffee? Then matcha (with collagen) is for you!
On the menu, opt for a bagel with smoked salmon and cream cheese, or a chicken Caesar salad. Be sure to try our chia seed pudding, enhanced, of course, with collagen!
A gourmet aperitif
And if you arrive at aperitif time (it’s always 5 p.m. somewhere), Barcine offers a choice of carefully selected natural wines, cocktails and excellent Belgian beers. Pair them with delicious oysters or a cheese platter for the perfect afterwork!
To offer collagen in its products, the Barcine café has teamed up with the Vital Proteins brand, which specializes in collagen peptide-based products. Indulge yourself with delicious gourmet products, while optimizing the health of your skin and hair!
