Biggest organic shop ever... I mean that I know in Belgium :) You will find everything you need…read morethere from foods to cleaning products and cosmetics. I find the cheese counter with free tasting quite impressive! There are also a lot of vegan cheese and meat substitutes at the fresh department (I am myself not a big fan of those substitutes considering the fact that they often contain a large amount of of unhealthy fats and are mainly soya-based). You can also purchase by weight nuts, dry fruits and other healthy snacks. Their chocolate department is also quite amazing! The fresh fruits and vegetables counter is a bit deceptive though, despite the choice, doesn't look very good from my point of view. You won't get a lot of help and advice in this store except in the cosmetics department on the first floor and of course at the cheese and deli counters. The prices are quite fair even money-worth for some products, mainly belgian and dutch one, but much less for other, let's say french one for example. Overall, a great organic shop with quite everything you're looking for.

It's pretty decent!…read more To begin with, was not clean on my visit. I really don't want to see cobwebs and dust by a deli counter, I really don't. This place is pretty okay for nonperishable "superfoods" - you literally can't walk three feet anywhere in the store without finding six different brands of quinoa. Definitely worth a stop if you're nearby and don't feel like ordering your organic shampoo or chia seeds online.

I think this is supposed to be the first modern food hall in Antwerp…read more I stopped by on a lark and it was pretty empty (sometime between lunch and dinner time). But at least it was air conditioned, and there were free bathrooms near the back. And they served liquor and beer at the bar in the center. Not bad beer selection either, though a bit pricey. In terms of food, there were multiple stands. You could get oysters, duck buns, charcuterie, desserts, and more. They have live music three nights a week, and there's a tons of outdoor seating.

Mercado is the Hipster Mecha of the season and not really a market. It is basically foodtruck food…read morein a fancy market layout. Like a modern and "gourmet" mall food court. Overpriced, crowded and I believe it will get old soon. On the bright side, I had a really good pulled pork sandwich, but nowhere to eat it sitting down. There was no conception of personal space and hungry people tend to be a bit aggressive, and I get it, standing in line for a long time in an extremely crowded place just to buy 2 small quesadillas for 6 euros which you will eat before finding a seat does not sound like a pleasant experience. Definitely not for me, but this place will be packed every weekend for the next couple months because that's how hotspots work somehow.
