Au Vieux Port Antwerp

Au Vieux Port sits on Napelsstraat 130. It holds a Wine Spectator Excellence Award and offers a menu defined by French, Mediterranean, and seafood traditions.

The restaurant is a twenty-minute walk from the MAS or the Rubenshuis, placing it far from the Grote Markt crowds. That distance is exactly why you choose it over the packed brasseries in the center. While the room runs smart and elegant, the experience feels less like a typical tourist stop and more like a local ritual. The wine list carries the weight of its award, providing a focus that makes the walk feel like a deliberate, necessary trade for the chaotic pace of the old quarter.
