The best cafés in Antwerpen, according to the experts: The Infatuation has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Butchers Coffee comes out on top.

Departments

  1. Butchers Coffee is a bright corner cafe in Borgerhout, where prams are parked by the wall and nobody seems to be taking a work call, which almost feels like a rule. Parents read over cortados, the staff smiles without being asked, and the bacon breakfast buns arrive stacked high. The ricotta omelette is creamy enough to embarrass a hotel buffet. Plan on a quick stop, then check the time and stay another hour.


  2. Rank 1. Salt & Mint

    Moroccan Café

    Salt & Mint is a small Zurenborg cafe that treats breakfast as a passport exercise, with Turkish, Persian, and Moroccan platters plus one diplomatically named "world brunch." Order a few with a group so the msemmen, honey, and mint tea can circle the table. The room is cozy enough that you'll hear the bastilla being demolished from every direction, and on Sundays the back terrace fills up whatever the sky is doing.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
