Eating Around with Em

Eppo Antwerp

Eppo is a contemporary restaurant in the Berchem neighbourhood of Antwerp that brings a relaxed yet thoughtful dining concept to its table. Situated inside the stylish Hotel Yust, its name comes from the Latin epulo, meaning “feast,” and that spirit shows in both the pace and the menu. Chefs work with seasonal, consciously sourced ingredients across meat, fish and vegan dishes, offering à la carte choices alongside set menus for lunch and dinner.

The interior reflects the hotel’s warm, casual vibe that fits neighbourhood dining as comfortably as a special evening out. In addition to lunch and dinner services, the restaurant also pairs its food with an interesting wine list and thoughtful beverage options, making it suitable for a range of occasions from relaxed meals to more curated culinary experiences.

Em’s star rating

The restaurant focuses on seasonal cooking with enough finesse to keep things interesting without drifting into formality. The menu changes regularly, but you’ll often find well-executed classics with a twist. I love the whole experience at Eppo.
