Café Zurich is a lively restaurant and bar in Antwerp’s Zuid district, just steps away from the river and the Vlaamse Kaai. Known for its cosy, down-to-earth atmosphere, it has become a go-to spot for everything from breakfast and coffee to dinner and late-night drinks.
Inside, the black-and-white tiled floors and relaxed seating create a welcoming vibe, while the spacious terrace is a favorite on sunny afternoons or warm evenings, offering one of the best people-watching spots in the neighborhood. The menu is broad and brasserie-style, featuring Belgian classics alongside international comfort food.

Em’s star rating
Café Zurich in Antwerp is a relaxed and welcoming spot with a cosy, friendly atmosphere. We tried the ribs and the pasta pesto, and both were flavorful and satisfying. It’s a great place to enjoy a leisurely meal, catch up with friends, and soak in the lively neighbourhood vibe.
Fun fact
It’s been a fixture on the lively Verlatstraat at ’t Zuid for over two decades, and because of its spot right by the historic Gedempte Zuiderdokken, it’s known as a go‑to place where locals like to relax with a coffee or meal and watch life unfold along the quay.
