The 10 Best Brunch Spots In Antwerp, Belgium
Antwerp offers several pleasant, original or atmospheric spots for those who like to start their day with a late brunch. Savoury or sweet, simple or fancy, with eggs or without, you can find anything to your liking in the following 10 places that showcase the best for brunch in Antwerp.
1. l'Entrepôt du Congo
l’Entrepôt du Congo
L’Entrepôt du Congo has an interesting history. In the early 1900s, it served as a warehouse stocking African coffee, oil and gasoline that transported by boat to Antwerp’s port. Now, it is a charming café-resto that has preserved the building’s old structure, and still retains an old-fashioned feel. The pleasant atmosphere is repleted by the simple but well-made salads, (try the goat cheese salad with honey and pancetta) the delicious ciabatta sandwiches and real Flemish dishes like tomato sauce meatballs with bread.
