Winter in Antwerp and delicious food and drink, it’s a match made in heaven. Here are some places to inspire your next visit.
Start out your day with a great cup of coffee
There’s a good coffee bar in every neighbourhood, where you can order your favourite drink. In many cases, the beans that were used to brew your coffee were also roasted in Antwerp.
Brunch
Get your day off to a great start with a tasty brunch in an amazing location: De Foyer is located in the magnificent Bourla Theatre. Or go for a lunch or an afternoon tea in Salon de Thé Claude.
Winter bars and heated terraces
Hot chocolate milk near a fire pit, a Bolleke beer on a heated terrace, a cup of tea in a picturesque square... Antwerp has plenty of places where you can enjoy good food and heart-warming drinks on cold winter days. Settle down on a heated terrace on one of Antwerp's many cosy squares.
Tasting Belgian beers
Enjoy a cool pint or a sturdy trappist in a typical ‘brown café’ such as Den Engel or 't Paters Vaetje. There you will find big Belgian brands, but also local craft beers. Got the hang of it? Take a beer walk or visit a brewery.
Cocktails with style
Antwerp is home to cocktail bars with fantastic creations. Belroy’s, near the cathedral, serves cocktails and champagne in a beautiful interior, with a fireplace. At Het Zuid, you can go to the atmospheric Bar Burbure.
Dine in impressive buildings
Looking for a sensational closer to your day? Go for an intimate dinner at Fiera. You will find this classic restaurant in a side aisle of the magnificent Handelsbeurs. A treat for all the senses! Discover more restaurants in beautiful settings.
