Vegan Restaurants in Antwerp

If you're heading to Antwerp and want to skip the meat and dairy, you've picked a city that’s surprisingly easy to navigate as a vegan. The scene has grown over the past few years but beware,it's not everywhere yet, so knowing where to go makes all the difference.

For a casual bite, try Greenway on De Keyserlei. They do a killer vegan burger that'll have you forgetting it's meatless. And if you find yourself wandering around Zuid, head into L'Abattoir Végétal for fresh juices and colorful bowls that don’t feel like they’re trying too hard. They also have some of the best coffee in town, which is a nice bonus.

Local tip: weekends at De Werf often have pop-up vegan food stands and events, so check their schedule before you go. It’s kind of a secret corner of Antwerp where you get to try everything from vegan waffles to international street food. Also, don’t miss out on some of the small vegan bakeries in the old town, like Barnini, where pistachio and matcha flavors steal the show.

You’ll notice Antwerp’s vegan options spread unevenly,some neighborhoods are just better for it than others. So if you’re planning where to stay, Schipperskwartier has a few handy spots and local markets with vegan-friendly stalls. Trust me, you won’t need to hunt far for decent vegan food in Antwerp once you know the right streets.
