Hoffy's is a strictly kosher restaurant. The website states 'All our food is strictly kosher' and the menu lists traditional kosher dishes such as cholent, kugel, gefilte fish, and separates meat and fish. The venue is a long-established kosher restaurant in Antwerp's Jewish quarter, run by the Hoffman brothers who observe kashrut. While no external certification body is cited in the sources, the venue's own consistent messaging and community reputation as a kosher restaurant provide strong evidence. Based on the venue's own declaration and the nature of the cuisine, this is treated as a verifiably kosher establishment.
Epiphany's Kitchen is a 100% dedicated gluten-free restaurant in Antwerp, with a second branch in Ghent. The kitchen is entirely gluten-free—no gluten-containing ingredients are present on site—so cross-contamination is structurally impossible. Multiple coeliac reviewers on FindMeGlutenFree and HappyCow confirm zero symptoms after eating here, and the venue's own website states everything is naturally gluten-free. This is as safe as it gets for coeliac diners.
The kitchen is 100% plant-based, so every dish is vegetarian by default. No meat, fish, or animal-derived ingredients are used anywhere on the premises.
A 100% dedicated gluten-free bakery in Antwerp. The owner has coeliac disease, so every item — from croissants and bread to cakes and pizza — is made in a kitchen with no gluten on the premises. Multiple coeliac diners report zero reactions across many visits. The selection is split between lactose-free and vegan options, and the staff are knowledgeable and friendly.
The entire kitchen is fully plant-based; Humm removed all meat and dairy from the menu in June 2021, confirmed by the venue's own FAQ and corroborated by multiple sources. All milk coffees are made with a split-pea-based plant milk (SPROUD). The kitchen is 100% vegan, making cross-contamination with animal products impossible.

HART is a fully plant-based (vegan) restaurant, confirmed by HappyCow as a dedicated vegan venue and by the venue's own menu which lists only plant-based dishes. Since the kitchen is entirely vegan, the entire menu is suitable for vegan diners with no risk of animal-product cross-contamination.
This Southeast Asian restaurant has a separate vegan menu and most dishes can be made vegan by request. Staff are knowledgeable and will ask about your preference. The kitchen is shared with meat and dairy dishes, so it's not a fully vegan setup, but the options are plentiful and well-handled.
Gluten-free items are clearly marked on the menu (asterisk * marks dishes containing gluten); the rest can be made gluten-free. Staff are repeatedly described as knowledgeable and experienced with coeliac customers. The kitchen uses a dedicated fryer for chips and a separate pasta pot, though it is a shared kitchen overall. Several reviewers mention a separate preparation area, but the venue is not a dedicated gluten-free facility. A strong choice for coeliac diners who confirm their needs with staff.
A 100% dedicated gluten-free Italian restaurant in Antwerp run by a coeliac owner. The entire kitchen is gluten-free (no gluten-containing ingredients on site), with rice- and corn-based flour used for pizza, pasta, pastries, and bread. Multiple coeliac diners report zero reactions. The owner's own coeliac diagnosis adds a strong insider-led safety layer. The kitchen is very small (more takeaway than sit-down) and the owners speak mainly Italian, so communication can be challenging.
CLO is a plant-based restaurant, so all dishes are inherently vegan. The menu is fully vegan, and the kitchen is set up for plant-based cooking. No dedicated vegan certification is mentioned, but the entire concept is vegan-first.
The entire menu is vegetarian, with many vegan options. This is a vegetarian restaurant. All dishes are suitable for vegetarians by definition.
The core menu is built around vegetables — chef Bart Gauwloos describes the kitchen as 'vegetable-forward fine dining'. A three-course lunch and five-course dinner are available as fully vegetarian menus by default, with a flexitarian option adding fish or meat. The kitchen uses butter, cream, cheese and eggs, so this is not a vegan setup, but vegetarian diners are the primary audience.
The entire restaurant is fully plant-based and uses no dairy products anywhere in the kitchen. Dishes like 'tomaat mozarella' use vegan alternatives, and the tiramisu is made with romige crème (not dairy cream). The owners and team have been vegan for years and operate a 100% dairy-free kitchen.
The menu explicitly labels many dishes as 'Vegetarisch' (including Kûndir, Sîyele, Penner, Bîzîn, Ovengebakken Feta, Vegetarische Bulgur Krokketten, and vegetarian versions of Piras, Spinazie, and Dolma), and the owner's description emphasises a kitchen that uses fresh vegetables and offers vegetarian alternatives for several meat dishes. Staff are at least aware enough to mark these on the menu, but the kitchen is shared and no dedicated fryer or equipment is noted.
The chef can accommodate vegetarian requests on the fixed tasting menu, but there's no marked menu and the kitchen is shared. Mention it when booking so the chef can prepare suitable dishes.

Gluten-free items are marked on the menu, and staff are reported to be knowledgeable about coeliac needs—they will check with the chef on request. However, the kitchen is not dedicated gluten-free; fries are cooked in shared oil and standard flour is present (croutons, regular bread). Multiple coeliac diners report positive experiences but note cross-contamination risk from shared fryers. Best for those who are comfortable asking questions and have mild sensitivity.
Many wok dishes can be adapted with tofu or extra vegetables instead of meat or fish, and the menu offers flexible options. Staff are responsive when you mention your preference. Curries cannot be made vegetarian-friendly, so check before ordering.
The menu clearly labels several vegetarian dishes (e. g. Banh Xeo Chay, Pho Chay, Sweet Potato & Asparagus Goi Cuon, Bun sweet potato & tofu, Cai Xao Dau Hu, Com Xao Tofu & Veggie). However, the kitchen is shared with meat, seafood, and fish sauce, so cross-contact is possible. Staff can identify vegetarian options on request.

The kitchen states that vegetarians are welcome and that dishes are prepared à la minute, so they can accommodate requests when notified in advance.

A shared-kitchen bakery serving Middle Eastern street food. GF bread items are available (shakshuka, sabich) and staff are generally knowledgeable, but the kitchen is not dedicated and a coeliac reviewer from the bakery branch reported that GF loaves on display touch regular bread. A coeliac diner at the Antwerp location had no reaction but noted it's 'eat at your own risk'. Not a safe choice for strict coeliacs.
The set menu is not marked for allergens and the kitchen handles fish, shellfish, crustaceans, and foie gras in a shared fine-dining setup. You're asked to disclose allergies in advance because the fixed menu cannot be changed à la minute. There is no mention of a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, dedicated fryer, or specific GF protocols. Staff may accommodate if notified ahead of time, but quality depends on the advance notice and the shift.
Spritz offers gluten-free pasta and gnocchi, and staff are described as friendly and knowledgeable. However, the kitchen is shared and there is no dedicated gluten-free menu or mention of separate preparation areas. Best to call ahead and discuss your needs with the staff before visiting.
