Middle Eastern cuisine is all the rage nowadays. The melting pot of flavours, scents and colours is becoming increasingly popular in Antwerp. So which are some Middle Eastern restaurants that you don’t want to miss while in Antwerp?
1. Vegeterian Lebanese fare at Si Bon
Follow your nose to Lebanese snack bar Si Bon, which is just a short walk from Park Spoor Noord. Take your pick from the counter, with all kinds of vegetarian and vegan salads, such as baba ganoush, tabouleh with flat-leaf parsley and hummus. You can eat standing up at the counter by the window or you can take your goodies to the park and enjoy them in the sun.

2. Fantastic falafel at Beni Falafel
Beni Falafel has always been the place to go for falafel and hummus in Antwerp’s bustling Jewish neighbourhood. Your guarantee for great flavours and atmosphere in a no-frills interior. Fun detail: the fresh pita breads are heated on a cast iron grill under old irons.
3. Dipping in hummus at Humm
The hummus at Humm is mind-blowing. Enjoy their Persian pitas stuffed with hummus and all kinds of interesting, organic toppings, such as salmon with pomegranate seeds or mezze like a za’atar chicken sausage with labneh.
