Tinsel is one of our favourite cosy spots thanks its 'no-nonsense' menu and warm staff and interiors. It'll definitely end up on your list of go-tos for top-notch brunch in Antwerp.
With a seasonal philosophy on both cooking and mixology, Tango is yet another neighbourhood spot that we wish was close to our abode. Order some plates to share (the sardines & tomatillo, and pumpkin tortellini an autumn must) and make yourself at home.
It's now not a surprising concept: the plates of sea bass tartare on a bed of kohlrabi, the beetroot, horseradish, chive and pistachio crumble, or the courgette flowers stuffed with sobrasada are best eaten shared. It's only natural that a chilled natural wine is paired with it.
A listening bar and a great restaurant. Does it get better than that? Smudged is the place to bring your friends, your lovers or simply yourself for an evening of terrific wines, great cocktails, vinyl-after-vinyl and some stellar dishes, all rustled up in the open kitchen.
This Michelin-starred restaurant is a culinary adventure dreamt up by Chef Nathan Van Echelpoel. His masterpiece menu features innovative dishes that combine classic flavours with Asian influences. The atmosphere is intimate and stylish, with Scandinavian influences.
