Restaurant Maritime

Restaurant Maritime is a classic seafood restaurant on Suikerrui, close to Antwerp Cathedral and the Scheldt. The dining room has a traditional, atmospheric character, while the service is presented as warm and attentive. The restaurant suits several occasions, from a relaxed meal with friends to a romantic dinner or a business lunch.

Mussels and fish form the centre of the menu, with seafood given a broad interpretation. Shellfish platters, oysters and lobster are part of the restaurant’s culinary profile, while shrimp croquettes are another established speciality. Guests who prefer meat can also find a substantial meat option, and seasonal game features during the relevant season. The menu therefore remains focused on classic restaurant cooking while offering more than one route through the meal.

Seafood also shapes the wine selection. The list brings together bottles from established European wine regions, including Burgundy, Bordeaux, Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Piedmont, Tuscany and Spain. The emphasis falls on wines that work well with fish and shellfish, with options available by the glass alongside a wider selection of bottles. A sommelier is available to help match a wine with the chosen dishes.

Restaurant Maritime has a long-standing place in the local dining scene and continues a tradition centred on mussels, fish and careful hospitality. Its setting on Suikerrui places it within the historic centre, making it a natural choice for a meal before or after time around the Cathedral and the river. The overall style is more classic than casual, with a level of service suited to diners looking for a considered seafood meal rather than a quick stop.

Reservations can be made by telephone, and the restaurant welcomes enquiries about the menu, wine pairings and suitable arrangements for different occasions. Restaurant Maritime is a fitting choice for seafood lovers, diners seeking a traditional dining room and anyone looking for a meal where the wine selection is treated as part of the experience.
