Very nice Thai food. I really like the coco chicken soup. But above all this place is nice because the staff is really friendly and you can drink a Duvel as well for only 3 euro (price july 2017).

In walking and exploring Antwerp go visit this 'looks like a take away wok restaurant' because of honest people, honest food and more than honest prices. nJoY!

I love this place for being located right across the still closed for renovation museum and the steaks with frites. Common place for people living in the chique South district of Antwerp. Also visit the shop of Ann Demeulemeester, one of the famous Antwerp Six fashion designers.

Jose's parents operated this pub already more than 'ages ago'. Here you can play with a juke box and there is a piano in the room...normal beers available like Duvel and Westmalle Tripel and Stella Artois as draft beer. I like the Orval overhere on a cold winterday...and close to Bar Paniek and Fiskekur and Antwerp Brewery Company...
