The London Antwerpen – Modern French Dining on 't Eilandje | Michelin Recommended 2026

The London: Modern French on Antwerp’s 't Eilandje

On the historic 't Eilandje district, where the city meets the water, The London brings a refined take on Modern French cuisine. The name nods to the neighbouring Londenbrug and to London itself—the city where the world’s kitchens converge. It’s a fitting starting point for the culinary exploration that chefs Tommy Cavaliere and Thalissa invite you to join.

The pair bring years of experience in top kitchens and a world journey guided by the San Pellegrino 50 Best Restaurants list. Their philosophy is simple: "Food is the ingredient that binds us." Inside, the atmosphere balances gastronomic precision with genuine warmth. The interior, with a striking view of Zaha Hadid’s Port House, sets the stage for a meal that aims to be both relaxing and memorable.

Seasonal Collections and À la Carte

The menu changes with the seasons. Alongside a well-loved à la carte selection, The London presents seasonal "Collectie" menus. Spring celebrates early produce from the Pyrenees, Provence, and local growers—green asparagus, morels, lamb. Summer brings lighter, more playful dishes with exotic accents inspired by travels. Autumn and winter turn to comforting, refined classics with deep sauces and ingredients from polders and forests.

The tasting menus are the heart of the experience. Choose a five-course (€98) or six-course (€125) journey, with optional wine pairings. À la carte highlights include King Crab with white truffle butter and Amalfi lemon, Oosterschelde eel with green herbs and potato cream, and lamb from Lozère with morels and broad beans. A vegetarian menu is available, and the meal can end with a cheese selection from Kaasmeester Van Tricht or a homemade dessert like rhubarb with vanilla sabayon and hibiscus.

A Michelin Recommended Address

The London’s consistent quality has earned it a place in the Michelin Guide for 2026, listed as Recommended. It’s a recognition of the Cavalieres’ commitment to honest, seasonal ingredients and original, well-balanced cooking. Whether for a business lunch, an intimate dinner, or a full tasting experience, The London offers a distinctive Modern French meal in one of Antwerp’s most dynamic neighbourhoods.
