Belgium is burgeoning with tasty culinary delights - not least its sumptuous chocolates - as well as a whole host of restaurants offering traditional cuisine for holidaymakers eager to taste the finer things in life.

Antwerp, a cultural hotbed and melting pot of Flemish and French traditions, is home to Sir Anthony Van Dijck - a restaurant that promises a relaxing and laidback atmosphere.

Once renowned for its Michelin-starred dishes, the venue now focuses on providing tasty dishes in comfortable surroundings and employed the expertise of Axel Vervoordt, a famous antiques dealer.

For those who really want to splash out, the restaurant offers a gourmet menu which includes loin of lamb with a mushroom pancake and mustard or sea bass with brunoise of vegetables and chives.

The restaurant is named after Sir Anthony Van Dijck, a baroque artist who was born in Antwerp.
