The best seafood restaurants Antwerpen 6

It's the little brother of Fiskebar, which only opens in summer in the Eilandje district. With a name like that, you'll have guessed that it serves fish and seafood, as well as vegetarian dishes. Everything is organic and local, with fish on the menu according to the day's arrivals. Raw, cooked or grilled, the aim is to maintain the purity of the product, like these just-grilled sardines accompanied by a vegetable pickle and sprouted lentils. Enjoy them on the huge terrace overlooking the basins, or inside a glass box that resembles a greenhouse.

Opened in 2014, this restaurant is a mecca for Antwerp gastronomy, the brainchild of chef Nick Bril, who worked for over 15 years under three-starred chef Sergio Herman. Housed in the former chapel of a military hospital, the setting is as majestic as the food. The open kitchens offer a fabulous spectacle. The tasting menu is expensive, but includes two paired wines. On the^1st floor, the Jane's bar offers equally refined cocktails. Reservations are recommended at least three months in advance.
