#1. Dogma Cocktails

If you are looking for an original place where you lose track of time, the Dogma Cocktails bar is made for you.

#2. Brasserie Appelmans 

Papenstraatje 1, 2000 Antwerpen

This brasserie is a pleasant, modern and chic place based in a building built at the beginning of the 20th century. The Appelmans Brasserie will suit all your expectations : you can enjoy meals, have a drink and listen to good music. Sheila adviced this address to enjoy a drink with friends or family. At that level, you have a lot of choices : champagnes, wines, cocktails, absinth… Little extra : the place was named after the Antwerp cathedral architect, Mister Appelmans. - fashionvitaminsantwerp.com

Where to have lunch ?

 







#1. Otomat 
Van Schoonbekeplein 11, 2000 Antwerpen

Pizzas lovers ? You will adore Otomat ! The specificity ? They put Duvel’s beer yeast in the pizza dough. The toppings are far from classical : zucchini, belgian products, Liège syrup, salad, fennel seeds… A pleasant moment to share with your friends and family in a nice and original place. - thatgirlwiththeblog






#2. Native
Muntstraat 8, 2000 Antwerpen

An organic and innovating restaurant, Native restaurant only serves fair and healthy meals.

#3. Cafématic 
Vleminckveld 4, 2000 Antwerpen

One of our favorite spot. A nice place to enjoy a delicious and healthy lunch. Situated in the city center, it is the perfect place to enjoy a lunch just before a shopping session in Antwerp's streets. A great address where simplicity and authenticity reign. You have to try the banana bread which is the great specialty of Cafématic. - Made & More.

 
Where to have dinner ?








#1. Frank & Brut
Ernest van Dijckkaai 19, 2000 Antwerpen

A place for the hotdogs and champagne lovers! Yes, it is possible to combine both. This restaurant will make you live a memorable gastronomical experience in a magnificent place decorated under the theme of the seven deadly sins. - fashionvitaminsantwerp 

 








#2. Primo
Dageraadplaats 13, 2018 Antwerpen

Who does not like a delicious italian restaurant? Primo is a famous address in that category. You will not find pizzas but delightful pastas, risottos and antipasti that will take you on a journey through the center of Italy. Speaking about Italy, do you know that our « La Dolce » collection is 100% Italian. Made in Italy by italian craftsmen with Italian merino wool… enjoy your meal wrapped in a soft piece from "La Dolce » and you are ready to live a « fantastico » experience - à cause des brunettes






#3. Roji
Oude Koornmarkt 26, 2000 Antwerpen

Roji is probably the fanciest address of this city guide. Gunter Landuyt, the host of the restaurant, has been serving his clients for the last seven years together with his hand picked team. Gunter’s success is a combination of an excellent cuisine in a beautiful, cosy atmosphere decorated by Axel Vervoordt. The best place to have a romantic and chic meal with your companion. - à cause des brunettes
