Carpe Diem cafe: "Nightlife for quieter people, late night readers"

Carpe Diem is a cafe, bar and small restaurant on the southwest corner of Tervuren av. and Celtes av. (Merode metro stop). Indeed, it is nightlife for quieter people, for sipping a beer or a tea slowly. There was even a small family sitting on the next table on the terrasse when I was there.
I don't know if this is the general case, but I believe that the waitress there spoke at least French, Flemish, English and Italian... (wow!)
The food on the next tables looked tasty, but I only had a rosehip (eglantier) tea. It was 2.20 EUR, which seems expensive, but I got a sizable teapot and biscuits. It was a good spot for doing some late night reading.
At first, I thought the place looked snotty and touristy. But it turned out to be just right: good discrete service and a little homy.
Pros: convenient location, terrasse, service
Cons: price, a little nosy from Tervuren av.
Details: Tervuren and Celtes (metro Merode, in Etterbeek)
