Restaurant Marcel — Restaurant in Antwerpen

On the Van Schoonbekeplein on the Eilandje, right next to the MAS museum, Marcel occupies a former seamen's church. Beneath the tall arched windows you eat French-Belgian brasserie dishes, and in good weather you sit outside on the terrace on the square.

Wine matters at least as much as the food here. The list runs to around 800 wines, with more than 40 by the glass, so you can choose a different wine with each dish without opening a whole bottle. Recommended for lunch or dinner with an extensive wine list, combined with a visit to the MAS.
