13 Veggie friendly restaurants in Antwerp

Home 9 Food guides 9 13 Veggie friendly restaurants in Antwerp

The vegetarian restaurants in Antwerp have mushroomed up throughout the years, meaning there are plenty of choices to indulge in a healthy vegetarian meal when visiting Antwerp.

Antwerp is one of many beautiful places in Belgium yet what sets this city aside from others is that it is usually the first place in Belgium to hop on new trends. Many of the vegetarian and vegan restaurants in the city have been there for a good number of years, while in other cities around the country, this is a rather new phenomenon.

Taking a weekend trip to Antwerp, one of the coolest cities in Belgium is always a good idea! The city has plenty of fashionable stores, vintage treasures, and hip places to grab a coffee. Here are a few of my personal favorite vegetarian restaurants in Antwerp.
