Gastronomy points 2025
Where simplicity rules
In the heart of Antwerp, Nage shows how pure flavours can shine without disguise. The daily menu follows the seasons, playing with textures and temperatures while keeping each plate calm and beautifully balanced. Only organic European natural wines are poured, their leftovers reborn as house-made vinegar. Suppliers guide the kitchen: vegetables from nearby organic farms, whole North Sea fish and nose-to-tail cuts of meat ensure that nothing is wasted. Soon moving to a new home, the team keeps operations intentionally small and collaborative, tasting every dish, shaping the atmosphere together and working a rhythm that allows time to truly rest.
