Le John

Antwerp


Sit at 1960s-style school chairs in a pair of artily sparse shopfronts while the chefs perform in a glass-fronted show kitchen. The short, monthly changing menu presents a variety of styles, often veering towards the Mediterranean.

For a post-prandial whisky from the extensive selection of malts, head upstairs to the very cool, intimate lounge and bar.
