Mange-tout brings instant summer vibes to the Vlaamsekaai. The interior is colourful and warm, the terrace is always buzzing, and the menu blends influences from all over the world.

Nectar
Nectar is without a doubt one of the most beautiful new spots in Antwerp. The interior feels light, elegant and almost South-French. You can come here for breakfast, lunch, aperitif or dinner. Although we especially love their sunny terrace and cappuccinos.
