August

August brings together a restaurant, bar, hotel, wellness space, shop and gardens within a restored former Augustinian convent in Antwerp. The setting retains the character of its religious past while introducing a clean, modernist design language, creating a composed environment for dining, drinks and time away from the city’s busier streets.

The restaurant serves accessible, creative dishes shaped by the seasons. Its menu follows the changing rhythm of the year rather than focusing on a fixed culinary identity, making August suited to diners who value contemporary cooking in a carefully designed setting. The bar provides a separate reason to visit, whether as part of a meal or for a drink in the former convent surroundings.

August forms part of Het Groen Kwartier, a pedestrian-only development created on the site of a large nineteenth-century military hospital complex. The setting combines restored historic buildings with landscaped outdoor areas, giving the venue a distinctive sense of place without separating it from Antwerp. The gardens add to the site’s retreat-like character, while the wellness area extends the experience beyond food and drink with treatments tailored to individual needs.

The venue suits a range of occasions, including a seasonal meal, a drink in an architectural setting, a relaxing wellness visit or a gathering arranged through its meeting and event facilities. Its hotel rooms and suites make it possible to stay within the same former convent complex, while the shop and vouchers provide additional ways to engage with the venue beyond the restaurant.

August is located at Jules Bordetstraat 5 in the Green Quarter. The combination of seasonal restaurant cooking, a bar, gardens and a thoughtfully restored convent makes the venue a suitable choice for diners and visitors looking for a modern setting with a strong architectural and historical identity.
