Sweet pastries at the MAS

If you're on the Eilandje, step inside the cosy control cabin on the Nassaubrug near the MAS. Buy a delicious bit of pastry from Dellafaille there, settle outside on a bench overlooking the marina and enjoy a sweet explosion in your mouth. Will you choose a coffee cake, a tart or, why not, a whole cake? 

Bubble waffles

Street food from Hong Kong with a Belgian twist – that's Bubble Waffles. Soft on the inside, nice and crispy on the outside and a delicious vanilla flavour. You can pick up this delicacy all day long at the Wijngaardbrug. Whipped cream, fresh fruit or artisanal ice cream... which topping will you choose? Afterwards, take a nice autumn walk through the historic downtown area and those calories are instantly forgotten. Order your waffles here.

Chocolate at the beautiful Palace in Meir

Access to the best ingredients combined with a rich history in the tradition of making chocolate. That's how Belgian chocolate has become a world-renowned concept. There's no point trying to summarise all the chocolate shops in Antwerp. The Chocolate Line from Dominique Persoone does deserve a special mention. His shop is located at the historic Paleis in Meir building and you can see the chocolatiers live at work in Napoleon's former kitchen. If chocolate doesn't give you any comfort, then what does? 

Goodie Foodie

Combining sweet and salty? At Goodie Foodie, a convivial lunch/brunch address in the heart of Antwerp, you can not only enjoy the pancakes, but also meals with fresh, healthy ingredients. Bagels with egg, salads with avocado, an omelette with vegetables, etc. Something for everyone!

Désiré de Lille

With their sweet classics, this tearoom is considered to be one of the most famous houses in Antwerp. Tired of the hustle and bustle on the Meir? Then take a break on the terrace with a coffee and pastries. You simply cannot resist the smell of their freshly baked waffles, pancakes and Lacquemants. 

Fresh pastries at Café Canelé 

At Café Canelé, you can buy freshly baked canelés, a delicacy from the Bordeaux region. Different variations are made every day: from the traditional version with rum and vanilla to canelés with matcha or homemade jam. Even better with a coffee, which you can also order here.
