3 stars at the top of the MAS museum. Chef Viki Geunes brings high level dishes to a beautiful modern place. Great wines with views all around Antwerpen from the top floor location. The bread serving is to die for. If you are looking to spoil yourself go ahead and come a bit earlier to enjoy the MAS museum downstairs.

The beautiful botanic garden hosts the real life version of Hans and Gretel, the witch is swapped out for Roger van Damme. His savory dishes are amazing, the steak tartare to die for. But his pastry skills are out of this world.

A la carte finesse, faultless execution. Nebo brings something that was missing in the already vibrant culinary scene in Antwerp, a la carte dining on a high level of quality. I am impressed by the way they can blow you away, while only having around three changes to do so. Must visit.

't Fornuis has been run by chef Johan Segers, who is in his 70’s and still runs his kitchen in an amazing way. He only does à la carte and doesn't have a written menu, he will explain what he’s serving by the table. The way he describes his dishes is mouth watering and to be honest he can sell you anything. He cooks classical and seasonal dishes like scallops with black truffles, North Sea crab in a simple salad style, beautiful main courses like venison and chicken, all kinds of delicious things. Last time when I visited with six friends we took all 12 main courses because they sounded so delicious. The restaurant is in three floors, the charm of the chef is unique and as I think he will not continue that long, if you're visiting within the coming years, this is must.

Natural wine bar with fun Asian inspired menu In a brutalist environment - concrete walls and Bruno Rey chairs - sommelier Daan Guelinckx and his team serve seasonal dishes with Asian elements. Oysters with Japanese or Vietnamese flavours, hamachi, dumplings and shrimp toast with tartar. Or just some great vegetables. Always inspiring and delicious. Wines are natural, well selected - and there are a lot of them.

The striking front door of this small house does not suggest that 2 chefs are at work here and they immediately score high marks! Nebo Schamp and Brend Geudens already gained 5 years of experience at Willem Hiele. Hostess Deborah welcomes you and makes you feel at home in no time. Easy setting but the food and also the (natural) winepairings( or non alcoholic) are fantastic! Bloesem offers a crisp and cosy dining experience celebrating seasonal change. Product-driven kitchen.
