“This place has really delicious brunch and you'll see locals on the bikes on a Sunday noon biking there. You can either sit outside on the square or inside of the shop. It's also super close to our apt - 2min's by bike and 5min's by walk. My favorite dish is pancake with bacon and banana! They also have very good coffee there. If you have a high standard towards your coffee, then this place won't disappoint you. One thing to note is that they don't take reservations. But they do have seats outside for people who are waiting.”

“Hipster place for coffee snobs, but we have to admit, they do serve excellent coffee. ”

“The famous Dutch Albert Heijn is my favorite supermarket. Good products and nice packaging.”

“Biggest shopping street of Antwerp with flagship stores of all the classic chain stores. Especially on weekends it can get very, very busy. ”

“Bar with a nice harbour view. For sipping wine or Belgian beers in the evening sun. Very nice atmosphere. ”

“Dellafaille is an autstanding bakkery. Typically for Antwerp are the "koffiekoeken", a variety of pastries mostly eaten as breakfast in the weekend. ”

“Closest Albert Heijn, the Dutch low-cost supermarket with excellent quality”

“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.”

“This shopping mall is situated inside the historical city dancehall and exhibition space. Don’t forget to look at the beautiful ceiling. ”

“Large hall originally built at the beginning of the 20th century as a permanent site for official festivities. In 2000, the glass-vaulted hall was renovated and reopened as a modern shopping center.”

“Medium sized mall in the centre of Antwerp, cosy place with a couple of spots to have lunch/dinner. A supermarket is tucked away on the lower floor as well. ”

“Every sunday from 8 am till. 1 pm you can visit the local food and flea market. ”
