If luxury is your thing head to Houben. Haute-couture at its finest and plenty of CELINE to feast your eyes upon. Is it worth the splurge? We think so. 

This laidback restaurant is perfect for an aperitif on the terrace in the summer, but it's also great for amazing reinterpretation of classic dishes. You'll feel right at home at Walvis thanks to the friendly staff and cosy atmosphere.

Beni Barnatan, founder of the now iconic Beni Falafel, moved to Antwerp in the late 1960s. With a devoted fandom of the crispy, golden falafel-stuffed pittas, Beni's has not moved further than a few metres down the same street since its opening in 1968. Though it's since been taken over by family, the same recipe prevails: 24-carat pita breads are cast-iron tossed, the hummus remains silky smooth, and latkes (crispy potato pancakes) remain a counter staple.  

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.
