The best bakeries in Belgium, according to the experts: Le Fooding and The Infatuation have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Bakker Aldo comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Brussels and Antwerp.
More Less
Funk and Leo Antwerpen hold the next two places. Le Fooding shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with The Infatuation next.
-
Rank 1. Bakker Aldo
Bakery
Bakker Aldo is a neighborhood bakery with two shops, one in the old center and one in Zurenborg, and they keep staggered hours so you can only ever visit whichever is open. The plain croissants are there for the purists, but the cream cheese and blackberry bun, part cinnamon roll and part cheesecake, is what you'll be eyeing. Expect a pastry line and a very reasonable bill.

Rank 1. Funk
Vegan Bakery
Funk is a plant-based bakery in Zuid whose croissants shatter like they have something to prove, all without a gram of butter. The ground floor has the best light and a calm that feels almost suspicious for a place with a pastry case this good. Showing up shortly before 10 gets you a table and a short queue, and the kitchen then starts on savory plates, which aren't all vegan.

Rank 1. Leo Antwerpen
Artisanal Bakery
Leo is a neighborhood bakery in the backstreets of Zuid that opens only on weekends, for a few hours, and shuts entirely on the last Sunday of the month. That's a lot of rules for a croissant. The brown-tiled room has no seats, so you buy a bag of pastries, maybe a jar of pesto for dinner, and leave. Go early, since the kouign-amann has a head start on you.
