L'Amitié

Good food & wine in a relaxed atmosphere. That's what L'Amitié is all about

Atelier Paul Morel

In het minimalistische, Japans geïnspireerde atelier van beverage consultant Paul Morel op de site van Brouwerij De Koninck organiseert Paul samen met Daan Guelinckx intieme Bar Nights. Waar Paul indruk maakt met waanzinnige cocktails en sakes, doet Daan hetzelfde met zijn uitgebreide kennis over natuurwijnen. Bij al dat lekkers om te drinken bestel je barhapjes (kraakverse oesters, kazen, charcuterie, …) die zo goed zijn dat je er de hele avond blijft hangen. Let wel: ze zijn niet het hele jaar door open. Kijk voor je gaat zeker even op de website.

Dim Dining

Japanese with a star

In the heart of Antwerp, you will find the stylish DIM Dining in a corner building on the popular Vrijdagmarkt. Chef Simon Van Dun takes you on a voyage of discovery through the flavours of Japan, using mostly seasonal products of the very best quality. While the chef spoils you with the most original and exquisite dishes, sake sommelier Jonas Kellens complements your experience with perfectly selected glasses of sake.

Album

Host Toon Craen and chef Joris Gielen are passionate and hospitable individuals with a keen eye for what truly matters.

This approach is reflected not only in original, delicious dishes, but also in a splendid selection of champagnes, wines by the glass, exquisite coffee, delicious homemade sourdough bread - available for purchase on-site for everyone - and an equally curated playlist.

Dishes are presented in a menu of 2, 3, or 4 courses, with a dessert or cheese option. Compositions are sleek and harmonious, built around a limited number of components with maximal flavor expression. The homemade XO sauce drives the flavor experience with impeccably cooked pieterman fish, accompanied by pumpkin textures, a sourdough crumble topping, and sea buckthorn berry gel.

This culinary journey leaves you craving for more and deserves a higher ranking in our personal hit parade.

Bistrot du Nord

Classier of stature

Contrary to what the name suggests, Bistrot du Nord is cooked at star level (by chef Michaël Rewers) and served (by partner Caroline Stasseyns). In a small building in Antwerp North, you will enjoy classics in a neat decor, think white starched tablecloths, wooden panelling and nostalgic lampshades, radiators and tiles. You come here for really well-prepared meat and fish dishes like Ostend shrimp croquette or ox tongue in madeira with Parisian sausage and crispy veal brains.

' t Fornuis

Legendary eatery

In a seventeenth-century building in central Antwerp, culinary genius Johan Segers has been surprising people for years with his star restaurant 't Fornuis. His cuisine is rich and authentic.
The chef himself comes to your table to present his dishes, and that alone is an experience in itself. Dining at 't Fornuis is a special experience that every food lover must have experienced at least once.

Ciro's

Back in time

If you want to eat at the Antwerp landmark Ciro's, it's best to book your table well in advance. This is where you come for Belgian and French classics such as steak Ciro's,
vol-au-vent de luxe (with sweetbreads) or eel in green. Leave plenty of room for dessert, as these too are golden oldies such as crepes suzette, homemade
rice pudding, sabayon or café glacé. The decor seems straight out of a movie and looks exactly the same as it did when it opened in 1962.

Het Nieuwe Palinghuis

At Het Nieuwe Palinghuis, you can find just about all the delicacies that the North Sea has to offer: turbot, skate, eel in green sauce, mussels, oysters, homemade shrimp croquettes, ...

Everyone finds something to their liking there.

Misera

If you want a taste of the best of the sea, head to Misera, the fine dining restaurant by Nicolas Misera (whom you may know from AIRrepublic in Cadzand). For his solo adventure on the Nieuw Zuid, the chef opts for an intimate dining experience (maximum 25 seats) and a small menu with the sea as the protagonist. A seat at the open kitchen completes your dining experience, from your chair you can watch the chef conjure the most beautiful dishes on your plate.

Bartavin

Sublime steak tartare

Although Antwerp's slaughterhouse district is only now in full development, wine connoisseur Bart Adriaensens has been luring Antwerpers to wine restaurant Bar(t)-à-Vin since 2003.
You come here for brasserie classics without frills in a very special setting: you dine in a former pig de-boning plant and you can still see the authentic tiles on the wall and the meat hooks on the ceiling. You come here for the best steak tartare in town, for the excellent glass of wine Bart selects for you and for the wonderfully intimate atmosphere. Don't forget to book well in advance.

Dabbaking

The cuisine of Chettinad is known for its complexity of flavors based on spices such as star anise, red peppers, fennel seeds, cinnamon, cumin, fenugreek... complemented with coconut, ginger, tomatoes, garlic, and sun-dried vegetables.

Chettinad is full of aromas and flavors. Neither too spicy nor too greasy. With a great love for vegetarian dishes, but also meat and fish are featured. No compromises to give it a Western translation, at Dabba King we make everything ourselves and aim for that authentic character. Those typical flavors will please many, we are sure of that.

The Finch

We take pride in offering contemporary, eclectic cuisine infused with an Asian essence.

Abundant with crisp, farm-fresh vegetables and an unwavering dedication to culinary excellence. Our dishes are not just meals; they are expressions of our boundless love for food. Designed for sharing, they invite you to embark on a culinary journey with us.

Whether you opt for a swift lunch with two dishes or immerse yourself in a feast by sampling them all, each bite promises a symphony of flavors and an unforgettable experience.
