Greece on a plate

The name of the restaurant means 'the land of the olive tree' and everything here is Greek olive oil.

Favourite Dish: Here you can choose between a 14- and a 24-flavour option. It's too much, no matter which 1 you choose!

They prepare the eggplant salad right before your eyes.

Don't miss the seafood!

Belgium's famous for its seafood (mussels), chips (frites), chocolate and beer. You can find a lot of places in Antwerp where you can try all the above. All you have to do is step in and enjoy your meal! Or, when the weather's fine, you might even prefer eating outside and watching people go by.

Rubens Cafe Taverne

Being the place where Rubens spent most of his life, it's no wonder that you can even find a restaurant bearing his name. And, only a few steps from the artist's house!

Here you can enjoy your meal outside, if the weather permits, and if there aren't too many tourists making crowds round the tables.

Directions: a step from the Rubens' house
