Bistrot du Nord is a brasserie at Lange Dijkstraat 36 in Antwerpen, awarded one Michelin Star in 2026 for high quality cooking.

Michaël Rewers at the stove

Chef Michaël Rewers takes the flavors of classic French cooking and gives them a modern twist. He works with seasonal ingredients and carefully chosen produce. Gault&Millau scores the kitchen 16 in 2026 and describes a cuisine rooted in Belgian culinary culture, served in an intimate bistro near the Sint-Jansplein.

Brasserie dishes on the menu

Starters include foie gras terrine, veal brain tartare and a croquette of Ostend shrimp. Oosterschelde eel in green herbs and Gillardeau oysters, sold by the piece, sit alongside them. Mains lean toward meat: a côte de boeuf from an old dairy cow for two, grilled veal kidneys Stroganoff, and a blanquette of Duroc de Batallé pork with neck and crispy ear.

A wood-paneled bistro room

The setting is a traditional French bistro, with wooden paneling and timeless details in the dining room. Caroline Stasseyns leads the front of house with her team and sets a warm, easy tone.
