Experts' Choice Award Sir Anthony Van Dijck
What the experts agree on
Historic Antwerp gem serving refined Flemish and French cuisine in an elegant 16th-century setting. Expert consensus highlights exceptional gourmet cooking in tasteful surroundings, though at premium prices for the relaxed fine-dining experience.
“After earning two Michelin stars in the 1970s, chef Marc Paesbrugghe opted for a more relaxed approach in the 1990s for this fine-dining fixture.”

Insight Guides "One of the gourmet landmarks of Antwerp, this elegant restaurant is perfectly located on the corner of the Grote Markt. French cuisine served in tasteful surroundings."
Lonely Planet "Hidden in a tiny, cobbled laneway in a 16th-century building, this exquisite restaurant is among Antwerp's finest for Flemish cuisine with flair, best appreciated over its four-course 'gourmet' menu (around €45)." Full review
Frommer's "A location amid the delightful 16th-century Vlaeykensgang courtyard's jumble of cafes, restaurants, and antique apartments all but guarantees a pleasant atmosphere here" Full review
