For a quick eat, very tasty noodles! They als have another, more high end place on volksstraat ( South town) which is fabulous but this one will surely suit you if you like some refined Vietnamese noodles. Walk-in.

The owner, Alec, is a great host and he will have a chat with you if you want anytime! Their menu changes everyday, the host will keep you up to date, don't mind if you need to hear it 3 times over, they are used to that ;-) Very nice French-based but also fusion cuisine! Fantastic wine selection, which Alec will be more than happy to advise! Reserve!

Fantastic cocktails! Have nachos with them. The guacamole is to die for!! Best Mexican AND Brazilian food in Antwerp ( owners are Brazilian) I used to work there as a student, so I know the place well. Pricy but worth the money, everything is super-fresh and very tasty. Try the steaks or Feijoada if you like meat and if you are vegetarian go for Tropicos combo or fajitas!! and.... go empty stomach because it's A LOT of food! During weekends make reservations!

BEST French fries you'll ever eat imo! Not open late, so for a quick eat or lunch, or even take-away. Try the specials, they nail it every time!

This place is for the Indian food lover! This is Indian food, just like in India ( we've travelled a lot to Inia and never found an authentic place like this one in Antwerp before). The buffet ( only 10€!) is great, but you can also order a la carte, plenty of choices! Very popular place! Walk-in but during weekends if more than 2, reserve (or wait)

This is a cool and layed-back place owned by 2 very sweet ladies. Authentic Antwerp squad, they have great sandwiches and tasty home-made lemonades. Try the Beiruth or Saint-Ginger! I personally love the forel-mouse sandwich and Michel always has a gold-chick or BLT.
