  1. Rank 1. Quite Frankly

    Diner American

    Quite Frankly is a lunch-only sandwich shop in Antwerp with a diner-meets-deli look, down to jars of pickled onions the size of small appliances. Trays of meat wait behind the counter for their turn in springy bread, and the pastrami is smoked in-house. Nobody asks how your day is going, which saves time, and the sandwiches come out quickly and are heavy enough that dinner becomes optional.


  2. Rank 1. Tap Out

    American

    Tap Out is a smash-burger joint dressed as a spaceship, with brushed chrome on every surface and an open grill where patties get flattened and onions cook down until the whole room smells like them. Expect paper-wrapped burgers, a fried chicken sandwich with a tempura-style crust, and skinny fries you'll order without discussing it. It's casual and cheap, so come hungry, not dressed up.

  6. Rank 6. Black Smoke

    Texan Barbecue

    The smoke hits you before the menu does, which is pretty much the point. Black Smoke is an Antwerp barbecue joint with a dim, rough-edged interior and pitmasters working in a Texan tradition, though Latino touches and Belgian sourcing keep things from feeling like a theme park. The drinks list runs nearly as long as the food, so settling in for a while is the implied agenda.

      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.
