The story

Briquet in Antwerp offers Latin-inspired dining with a We’re Smart Green Guide recognition

A kitchen built on honest cooking

Briquet serves seasonal Latin-inspired dishes in Antwerp, using a straightforward approach that lets fresh produce guide the cooking. The chef crafts a playful à la carte menu where vibrant ingredients take center stage rather than heavy sauces or rigid techniques. This dedication to responsible sourcing and transparent operations secured a place in the 2026 We’re Smart Green Guide, proving that sustainability and everyday comfort can sit comfortably at the same table.

Flavors that travel well

Guests navigate through flavour-packed snacks, bold mains, and indulgent desserts designed to share easily across the table. Each course draws on familiar Mediterranean and Caribbean rhythms, weaving Latin flavors into light preparations that highlight individual ingredients. Vegan modifications appear upon request, ensuring the Latin kitchen accommodates different dietary preferences without resorting to separate menus. The menu shifts regularly to match whatever arrives fresh at the market.

Intimate spaces for relaxed meals

The dining room stays deliberately small, favoring close tables and warm lighting over grand architectural statements. Wooden surfaces and simple textiles create a grounded backdrop that keeps attention focused on conversation and shared plates. Staff move through the space with quiet efficiency, balancing attentive service with a noticeably unpretentious pace. The overall rhythm encourages diners to linger, turning a quick lunch into a relaxed afternoon affair.
