The Top 100 Places to Eat Near Huize Alberic
-
Rank 1. Huize Alberic
Contemporary French
-
Rank 2. Rascasse
Seafood
Striking fish-themed artwork covers the walls of this seafood restaurant outside Antwerp, setting the tone for a kitchen that treats the North Sea and Oosterschelde as its pantry. The chef's cooking leans into briny, bright flavors, pairing catches with classic technique and a little playfulness. The hostess doubles as an enthusiastic guide to wine and Belgian beer, which helps, because the menu gives you a lot to think about.
-
Rank 3. MAURICE
Modern French
-
Rank 4. Sardis
Italian
A red-brick terraced house in Brasschaat with a quietly lovely patio out back, Sardis is an Italian restaurant where the cooking stays faithful to the classics while quietly nudging them forward. The kitchen handles pasta and tiramisu the way a good Italian household would, then adds a layer of precision that a good Italian household probably wouldn't. The room is cosy, the artwork is decidedly sensual, and the welcome is genuinely warm.
-
Rank 5. Restaurant 1857
Creative French
A former coach house on a narrow street, and the old horse trough is still sitting in the open kitchen, which tells you something about the tone. This is a one-Michelin-star creative French restaurant where the chef layers miso and Asian umami into classically grounded cooking without it feeling like a gimmick. The dessert trolley comes around at the end, and the pastry chef running it also happens to be your host for the evening.
-
The view from the top floor of the Museum aan de Stroom takes in the whole Antwerp skyline, which is a strong opening move for a three-Michelin-star creative restaurant. Viki Geunes runs a stripped-back room, elegant and quiet except for an old record player adding a jazzy hum, and builds dishes that are intricate without fussing about it. The kind of place where the sauces alone warrant a moment of silence.
-
Rank 7. Bistrot du Nord
Traditional French
Vintage floor tiles, wall mirrors, and wood paneling give this Michelin-starred Antwerp bistro the look of a French brasserie that time politely forgot to update. The chef runs a tight classical French menu, with a particular affection for the offal-and-tripe end of the spectrum, handled with the kind of technique that makes you wonder why everyone else abandoned it. Book ahead; the room fills fast with people who already know.
-
Nick Bril's two-Michelin-starred restaurant moved from a grand church to a converted warehouse on the Eilandje, and the shift shows: the room is minimalist and airy, with serious art on the walls and the chef's DJ turntables sitting right there in the open kitchen. The cooking is creative and internationally minded, built on mature ingredients, last-minute grilling, and sauces with real backbone. Dress well and come hungry.
-
A Michelin-starred Asian restaurant in a small Noord-Brabant village, O&O charts a course across Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore in a single sitting. The chef fuses French technique with precise sweet-sour-umami balancing, and his daughter handles wine pairings from a cellar that earns the word spectacular. The kind of meal that makes the drive through flat Dutch countryside feel like a perfectly reasonable idea.
-
A Michelin-starred spot hiding behind an unremarkable front door in Antwerp, Bloesem seats a handful of people around a counter and one shared table for a single set menu of around fifteen courses. The kitchen leans seasonal and a little playful, textures shifting dish to dish in ways that feel deliberate rather than showy. The host handles pairings, alcoholic or not, with enough enthusiasm that you'll probably let her choose.
-
Rank 11. Hertog Jan at Botanic
Asian New American
Concrete walls and muted grey tones set the scene for this intimate two-Michelin-star creative restaurant inside Antwerp's Botanic Sanctuary Hotel. The chef's Asian obsessions run through everything, and the kitchen asks guests not to post photos, which somehow makes the meal feel more like a secret. The cooking follows the motto "simplicity isn't simple," which is either profound or a warning that dinner will take a while, probably both.
-
Rank 12. Pont-Neuf
Seafood
A dockside terrace on the Antwerp waterfront sets the mood at this Michelin-starred seafood restaurant, where the kitchen leans hard into North Sea produce. The chef's approach is about restraint, letting a perfectly poached brill or a golden butter-fried fillet carry the plate, with sauces arriving as quiet support rather than the main event. Flemish good taste, Italian wine, and a Barbera d'Alba already open on the counter.
-
Rank 13. Nathan
Modern French
Marble surfaces and dark wood set the tone before a single plate arrives, and the room has the composed confidence of somewhere that has thought hard about everything. This Michelin-starred fine dining spot in Antwerp runs on classical French technique bent toward something more playful, where familiar flavors get sharpened by acidic Asian notes. The chef's plating is precise enough to make you feel slightly guilty picking up a fork.
-
Dishes still arrive under a cloche, lifted tableside with a formality that most kitchens abandoned decades ago. This is a classic fine dining restaurant inside a handsome old Antwerp townhouse, where the chef has held a Michelin star since the mid-eighties and shows no signs of slowing down. Pig's trotters share the menu with langoustines, Bresse chicken swims in morel cream, and the sauces do the real work throughout.
-
Rank 15. Fine Fleur
Modern French
The kitchen team works behind smoked glass, visible but unhurried, while a young front-of-house crew moves with the kind of easy confidence that suggests they enjoy being here. Fine Fleur is a fine dining restaurant inside the Botanic Sanctuary Hotel, and holds a Michelin star for modern French cooking with a Dutch edge: gutsy sauces, exotic flavors, and a pastry chef who clearly has something to prove. Jacob Jan Boerma and Thomas Diepersloot are behind it.
-
Dragons are worked into the decor with just enough restraint that you notice them slowly, alongside gilded touches, high ceilings, and windows that make the dining room feel genuinely grand. This is the restaurant inside Hotel de Draak, where the kitchen leans into vegetables and Zeeland coastal produce while pulling influences from across Asia. An aperitif lounge softens the arrival before a menu that moves between the regional and the global without making a fuss about it.
-
Rank 17. KOMAF
Contemporary French
A converted 17th-century farmstead outside Antwerp, all wood, marble, and thick drapes with the green countryside pressing in at the windows. The kitchen leans contemporary French but wanders confidently into Asian flavors without making a fuss about it, and the sauces alone justify the drive. One Michelin star. The front-of-house team runs things with the kind of quiet attentiveness that makes a long tasting menu feel effortless rather than ceremonial.
-
Rank 18. Misera
Modern French
An open kitchen and counter take up most of the room at this modern French restaurant in Antwerp's Nieuw Zuid, so you watch every plate being built whether you planned to or not. Nicolas Misera holds a Michelin star for cooking that leans hard on fish and shellfish, with classical bones and sauces that quietly steal the show. Everything is à la carte, which feels almost radical at this level.
-
Rank 19. Nebo
Modern French
The name means "sky" in Croatian, a quiet nod to the chef's father and his own Michelin-starred restaurant. This is a polished fine-dining room in Antwerp's Nieuw Zuid district, where an à la carte menu leans on classical French technique with enough unconventional turns to keep things interesting. The sommelier holds a master credential, and the wine list shows it. Nebo holds a Michelin star.
-
Rank 20. The Butcher's Son
Steakhouse
The Butcher's Son sits inside the De Koninck brewery, sharing a building with a bakery, a chocolatier, and the butcher's shop where the chef once worked, which tells you something about how seriously he takes his sourcing. This is a Michelin-starred restaurant where red meat is the heart of it, though the kitchen drifts cheerfully into surf-and-turf territory. The industrial-loft room makes it feel looser than the cooking actually is.
-
Rank 21. Ni Shifu
Sichuan
The chili oil here is the real opening statement: Sichuan cooking in full, unapologetic form, with a menu long enough to cause genuine decision paralysis. This casual, no-frills restaurant in Antwerp earns its Michelin Bib Gourmand on the strength of honest, fiery Chinese cooking, the kind that has regulars leaning over bowls of rich fish soup or pork braised in fermented black beans. Loud, lively, and very easy to spend too little money at.
-
Rank 22. Inter Scaldes
Modern French
A manor house in the Zeeland countryside where the walk between courses is literal: after appetizers, guests are invited past the open kitchen to watch the team at work and collect an extra dish along the way. This is fine dining, two Michelin stars, with a chef who pulls from Frisian roots and local waters in equal measure. The curved seats and garden-facing extension keep things from feeling stiff, which is a small miracle at this level.
-
Rank 23. Bar(t)-à-vin
French
The meat hooks are still on the wall and the old butcher's tiles are still glazed in color, which tells you most of what you need to know about this Franco-Belgian bistro tucked into a former slaughterhouse. The menu is short and Gallic and cooked without fuss. Bart co-owns and runs the floor on weekends, and his wine knowledge is the kind you want applied directly to your glass.
-
Rank 24. Neon
Creative French
A former teacher training college canteen is now a Michelin-starred fine dining room where the chef, Nils Proost, treats a whole North Sea fish or a full carcass the way other kitchens treat a prime cut: nothing leaves without becoming something. Fermentation, zero waste, and five seasonal menus drive the cooking. The result is creative French with deep regional roots, in a town most people drive through on the way somewhere else.
-
Rank 25. Glou Glou
Fusion French
A cozy, convivial wine bar and small-plates spot on a quiet Antwerp square, Glou Glou takes its name from the sound of natural wine pouring freely, which sets the tone for the whole evening. The sommelier steers the glass side; the kitchen does Franco-Asian-Italian tapas, loose and generous in spirit. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, and booking ahead is less a suggestion than a practical necessity.
-
A former coach house on a sprawling Breda estate, with walnut and marble inside and a terrace that makes the grounds feel like part of the meal. This is a formal French fine dining restaurant, and the kitchen holds a Michelin star. The chef works classical French technique with Dutch touches and the occasional Asian inflection, and the sauces alone tend to settle any argument. The sommelier brings an extensive list and the confidence to match it.
-
Rank 27. InVINcible
Bistro French
A wine-forward French bistro where counter seats face the open kitchen and you can taste a glass before committing, which is either hospitality or smart salesmanship, probably both. The cooking runs to big, unapologetic Gallic territory: bone marrow butters, veal kidneys, whole fish in salt crust for two. The kind of food that makes you order another glass without noticing you've done it.
-
Rank 28. Qin
Cantonese
Chinese lanterns and dark wood set the mood at this Cantonese restaurant inside Hotel De Keyser, where the kitchen's calling card is an extensive roster of house-made dim sum. The menu runs from Xiao Long Bao to Sichuan pepper duck to a classic hotpot, the last requiring a reservation, which feels appropriately ceremonious. The cooking skews traditional with just enough modern adjustment to keep things from feeling like a history lesson.
-
Pop art canvases inspired by the CoBrA movement cover the walls, setting the tone for a sharing-plates spot that leans casual but pulls it together with a proper bar program. The menu hops across continents without apology, lobster rolls alongside pâté en croûte, a beef entrecôte, tarte Tatin for the finish. Leopoldplaats regulars seem to treat it as a standing arrangement rather than a one-off.
-
Fourteen seats, a short menu, and a chef who treats Belgian comfort food as a starting point rather than a destination. Bar Pêche is a tiny modern restaurant where stoemp and sausage gets quietly reimagined, and the cordon bleu arrives with Italian ham and truffle cheese. The room is relaxed, the ideas are not, and the booking list fills up in a way that suggests word got around some time ago.
-
A converted warehouse on the Vlaamse Kaai that still feels like one, in the way only a good renovation manages. This modern restaurant runs lunch menus and a five-course dinner, built around food that pairs smoky and sweet without apology. The sourdough is made in-house and sold at the door, which tells you where the kitchen's head is at. Picked up a spot in the Michelin Guide.
-
Rank 32. BÚN
Vietnamese
-
Rank 33. Soixante
Polish Eastern European
Tables packed close enough that you'll learn your neighbor's business, and a window that makes the whole thing look like a dare. This is a creative restaurant where the chef's Polish roots steer the menu toward earthy, tangy combinations that tend to surprise. Pearl barley stands in for risotto rice, squid ink involved. The wine cellar is taken seriously, which the room's cosy, nostalgic clutter doesn't necessarily suggest it would be.
-
Rank 34. Bar Misera
Seafood
Tightly packed tables, wine bottles wedged wherever they'll fit, and a menu built around sharing plates with a heavy lean toward seafood: Bar Misera is the kind of casual, slightly chaotic bistro that Nieuw Zuid locals seem to treat as a second living room. The format is snacks first, larger plates to follow, with sides chosen separately. The fish comes bright and acidic, the kind of cooking that makes you slow down.
-
Rank 35. Les Années Folles
Modern French
The website insists "this isn't a restaurant," which is a bold claim for a place serving modern French-Belgian tasting menus inside a 1920s building with parquet floors and period wooden mouldings. The chef is quietly obsessed with sauces and spices, and has a way with a knife that shows in the plating. He also comes out of the kitchen to serve you himself, which either charms or unsettles, depending on your disposition.
-
The open kitchen sits behind what used to be a butcher's counter, which tells you everything about the vibe at this cozy farm-to-table spot in Boechout. The menu runs four or five dishes, built around what's good and nearby, cooked in a way that's rustic without being precious. The room has that gentrified-workshop feel, and the front-of-house charm keeps things loose and warm. A short menu, a sharp kitchen, nothing to argue with.
-
The dining room occupies the former stables of a historic estate, with original timber beams and old stone floors still doing the heavy lifting on atmosphere. It's a creative restaurant where the kitchen mixes classical technique with quiet surprises, European and Japanese both welcome at the table. The cooking is confident enough to pair calf's sweetbreads with anchovy without making it sound like a dare. Candlelit and unhurried, it pulls a crowd that dressed up on purpose.
-
Rank 38. Materia
Italian, Modern Cuisine
You push through a curtain off the gravel path and land in an all-black room lit like a film set, which turns out to be a fine-dining Italian restaurant in Antwerp doing something genuinely unfamiliar: contemporary Italian cooking stripped of every cliché. The tasting menu is the move, built around obsessive sourcing and a kitchen that treats playfulness as a technique. It placed in the 50 Top Italy global rankings, which is quite a thing for a room this far from Rome.
-
Rank 39. Hofke van Bazel
Contemporary French
The wine cellar is visible through a glass panel in the floor, which sets the tone. This one-Michelin-star restaurant in the Flemish countryside runs on produce the chef tends in his own kitchen garden down the road, and seasonal vegetables form the backbone of creative French contemporary cooking. The room leans romantic, the garden terrace leans northern Italian, and the caviar bar sits somewhere in between, daring you to order.
-
Rank 40. 't Korennaer
Modern French
A Michelin-starred modern French restaurant in Sint-Niklaas where the chef pulls from Japanese and North African flavors without making a fuss about it. Trusted local suppliers, from a specific butcher to a specific asparagus grower, keep the ingredients doing most of the talking. The room is genuinely stylish, the terrace inviting, and the whole thing carries a warmth that doesn't usually come with this level of cooking.
-
Marble details and a serious wine cellar set the scene at this two-Michelin-star fine dining room in a quiet Belgian town that gives away nothing from the outside. Thierry Theys cooks with the kind of technical precision that makes each dish feel both considered and alive, pairing unexpected flavors in ways that hold together. Wines by the glass and an absurdly good petit-four spread at the end make it hard to argue with dessert.
-
A restored farmstead tucked into the Kontich countryside is not where you'd expect to find a Michelin-starred tasting menu, which is partly the point. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the fields, old beams frame the room, and the kitchen frames each dish around a single clean flavor rather than a crowd of them. The wine pairings are taken seriously enough to interest people who take wine seriously.

Rank 46. Restaurant Uijttewaal
Modern French
A piccalilli sorbet paying homage to a grandfather's pickle company is a strong opening move, and it sets the tone for what follows at this polished French restaurant on the outskirts of Breda. The dining room is warm and quietly stylish, the kind of place where the wine list earns its own conversation. Lunch is available too, which the crowd treats as a genuine occasion rather than an afterthought.
-
-
Rank 48. Black & Yellow
Coffee
-
Rank 49. Vista
French
The glass pavilion sits right on the Hollands Diep, and the river fills every window so completely that the dining room feels like it's floating. This is fine dining French, with a Michelin star and a set menu built around small portions that let you range between classic terrines and a bolder Asia-leaning langoustine course. The sommelier is the kind who makes you care about the wine list even when you didn't plan to.

Rank 58. Restaurant Markant
French
Wine crates line the walls of this cosy French restaurant just outside the Breda city centre, a hint that the kitchen and the cellar are given equal reverence here. The à la carte menu runs from classics like oeuf en gelée to vegetarian plates and the odd Asian detour, with some dishes finished tableside. Sauces are where the chef shows off, and the wine list rewards a careful read before you order anything else.

The cooking is Italian-leaning but quietly personal, built on good ingredients handled with a contemporary touch. Regulars who know the room fill it fast, so book ahead. The Michelin Guide has it listed among its selected restaurants in the Netherlands.
