The story
Black Smoke brings serious BBQ to Antwerpen, offering a bar & resto, a full BBQ restaurant, and a rooftop bar—all driven by one thing: craft. The kitchen blends American BBQ traditions with local influences for an experience that aims to rock your socks off.
The pitmasters work a "hell's kitchen" where yankee-style 'low & slow' BBQ dishes are prepared on wood-fired smokers, while 'hot & fast' grill classics are cooked on a unique Argentine parrilla grill. This focus on technique and fire is the backbone of the menu.
Beyond the food, the bar is a destination in itself. Belgium’s Best Bartenders shake award-winning cocktails and tap ultra-locally-crafted beers straight from the cellar. For a change of pace, the 6th-floor urban rooftop offers what is described as Antwerp’s finest view—a place to come up for air with a drink in hand.
With a Michelin Recommended award for 2026, Black Smoke has earned recognition for its ambitious, wood-fired BBQ in a city known for its culinary scene. It’s a place for serious eaters and casual drinkers alike, where the heat is always turned up.
