This world-famous restaurant run by famous chefs Sergio Herman and Nick Bril is situated in an old military-hospital chapel. We love the contrast between the atmosphere of the historic building and the striking modern design by Piet Boon. If you can't get a table in the main dining room, try the more low key Upper Room Bar upstairs!

DÔME is a true masterpiece through and through. From its phenomenal architecture to its eclectic gastronomy, this restaurant is a big draw for Antwerp visitors from across the globe. The stunning neoclassical building it's housed in finds its perfect foil in the Baroque-influenced interiors. 

Come the summer, when the sun is out and the skies blue, the terrace at Dôme Sur Mur is calling our name. Though, even if the weather is not on our side, the food and ambience at this place is enough to have us returning time and time again. 

For a stomach-hugging bowl of warm ramen broth, topped with jammy soy eggs, kimchi 'pork don' (thinly sliced and sweetly marinated pork), or a miso-covered tempura tofu, head to Apo's. Helmed by Apo Tsuboi, the izakaya bistro is an effortlessly cool Japanese kitchen fused with fresh Belgian influence. A flock of locals gathers for ongiri to-go throughout lunchtime rush hour, and a host of laid-back diners come for a casual dinner in the evening.
