Busy, but delicious Vietnamese restaurant. Would recommend the Bún with duck.

Right next to the art academy of Antwerp, this small café is a terrific place to sit down and enjoy the view of people passing by. Their coffee is very good and they also have a variety of ways to prepare it, if you're into that stuff.

This is my favorite place to go to – to escape the city quick – in nature. I love the Braem Pavillion a lot – built by Antwerp architect Renaat Braem in 1969.

Almost every day at lunch-time I visit the local grocery store. They sell a lot of fresh vegetables and are very friendly towards children. Visiting this shop is like going on holiday.

Our favourite shop in Antwerp. Atelier Solarshop is a curated shop space, founded by menswear designer Jan-Jan Van Essche and Piëtro Celestina, based in Antwerp, offering a carefully selected, and constantly updated collection of well crafted contemporary works, harmoniously blended with timeless antiques and vintage.
