Simone's Kitchen B&B

The wine is a real reason to come here. The list is compact, but trust me, this is the best place to drink wine in Antwerp. The food is amazing too, and vegan cooking done right. Bring someone who wants to see what a plant based meal can be. The changing cuisines and volunteers make you think about what life is about.

We went for Sunday brunch, and booking was easy. It wasn't too busy, though I'd still recommend making a reservation. The place smelled lovely as soon as we came in. There was plenty on the buffet, with a varied mix of well-seasoned sweet and savory dishes: breads and spreads, chia pudding, granola, cakes, cauliflower curry, tapioca sticks, salads, soup, and more. The coffee was excellent, and the homemade kombucha is well worth trying. Our dogs were welcome too. If we're in the area again, we'll stop by. They also serve dinner with a changing selection of regional cuisines.

The people make this place special. The staff really believe in the concept and put their whole hearts into it. Shoutout to the lovely chefs Davide and Chala, and to Alistair, the owner. You can feel his love for the place as soon as you walk in. It’s such a cozy, peaceful spot in Antwerp, with a welcoming atmosphere and attention to detail in both the ambience and the food. The menu feels carefully made with real care, and there are great gluten-free options. Just a happy, calm place that makes me want to come back.

A fully vegan menu with delicious food and a range of tasty flavors, despite our prejudices. They have good wine and nice beer too. Top!
