Cavalieri Antwerpen: Italian Fine Dining in Mortsel, Gault&Millau 2026

Cavalieri is an Italian restaurant in Antwerpen, at Cantecroylaan 29, 2640 Mortsel, Belgium, and it holds a Gault&Millau score of 13 for 2026. The kitchen works in the fine dining register of Italian cooking, in the Kasteel Cantecroy estate.

Traditional cooking at a gastronomic level

Riccardo Brando, who comes from Basilicata, leads the restaurant and its team. The house describes its approach as traditional Italian cooking at a gastronomic level. Ravioli filled with Chianina beef come with truffle butter, and risotto is paired with langoustine carpaccio and a burrata cream.

Wine and set menus

The Italian wine list ranges from low-alcohol bottles for business lunches to tasting wines and a selection by the glass. Several bottles sit under €35. The team looks for regional grapes such as Aglianico, which is often called the "Nebbiolo of the south." Set menus run from a three-course business lunch at €42 to a five-course menu at €95, served per table.
