Eating Around with Em

et CLAIRE Antwerp

et CLAIRE started out in Amsterdam and has quickly become a talked-about patisserie concept in Antwerp too, bringing a taste of refined French-inspired viennoiserie to the city. You’ll find beautifully crafted croissants, éclairs and other pastries made with classic techniques and high-quality ingredients, alongside speciality coffee, champagne and fine wines served in a space that blends warmth and elegance. The brand’s menu spans sweet and savoury options, with every bite reflecting its commitment to craftsmanship and flavour.

Beyond the flagship, Antwerp also hosts et CLAIRE Café on Schuttershofstraat, a more intimate spot perfect for coffee-to-go paired with artisanal pastries while you explore the city. Both locations showcase thoughtful design elements by Amsterdam’s Heinzel De Vries, where interiors play with rich materials and warm tones to create spaces that feel luxurious without being stiff.

Em’s star rating

et CLAIRE in Antwerp feels like a little moment of indulgence in the middle of the city. The pastries look almost too good to eat, but the flavours more than live up to the presentation, buttery, refined and clearly made with care. Add a good coffee, a glass of champagne if the mood strikes, and a stylish yet relaxed setting, and it’s the kind of place you return to when you want to treat yourself without making a big occasion out of it.
