During our tours, we’re often asked where to find the best places to eat in the city. So, we’ve put together this list—let’s get your mouth watering!
In the north of Belgium lies Antwerp, a city where waffles are more than just breakfast—they’re a reason to get out of bed! Crispy on the outside, soft inside, and often topped with whipped cream, they’re a treat you can’t miss. But that’s just the start! Antwerp’s fries are a true masterpiece—double-fried, crispy, and served with a proud, “We did it first and best” attitude. Some say the real treasure of Antwerp isn’t its diamonds, but these golden sticks of joy.
For chillier days, try stoofvlees, a rich, beer-infused beef stew, often paired with fries. It’s the ultimate comfort food, warming you up faster than a woolen scarf. In Antwerp, food isn’t just a meal—it’s a celebration, and every bite feels like a feast!
Désiré de Lille
(Waffles and pancakes)
Désiré de Lille is widely known as one of the better restaurants for a quick bite. They serve delicious waffles and pancakes and other sugary deliciousness. On of the best places to eat a very sweet lunch.
De Sinjoor
(Belgian cuisine)
A restaurant right in the city center with a nice Belgian cuisine. “De Sinjoor” is a nickname for the residents of Antwerp. We suggest the ‘stoofvlees’ and the ‘vol au vent’ as typical Belgian dishes.
De Rooden Hoed
(Belgian cuisine)
Grand Café De Rooden Hoed is the oldest restaurant in Antwerp and has a very rich history within its walls. They suggest typical belgian beers with their dishes.
Amùri

Amùri is Sicilian for ‘love’ (‘amore’). This Sicilian restaurant brings the delicious italian flavours to Belgium. The restaurant is a 10 minutes walk away from the Cathedral, but definitely worth the walk.

A very nice italian restaurant focusing on serving you the best wines from Italy. Right in the historical center, definitely worth a visit after a long day of city-tripping.
