Bistro Monroe

With the theme ‘Blending old world elegance with a touch of modern boldness’, Monroe not only bridges the gap between Old and New South in Antwerp, but also between the classic bistro dishes and the more modern global cuisine.

Hospitality is key and creates a relaxed atmosphere in the à la carte bistro and relaxed bar. Everyone will find something to their liking at Monroe, whether you come for a good beer, a nice glass of wine, an expertly made cocktail, a tasty bistro dish or an extensive lunch. You will enjoy your time at Monroe, both inside our stylish bar & bistro and outside on our wonderful terrace.

Not Before Ten

Kurt Hereygers and the interior designers of Not Before Ten are involved in the design of all our concepts. Besides the fact that they really think out-of-the-box, they create unique eye-catchers and think along in every step of the creative process. The great advantage of this collaboration is that they have a lot of experience in designing hospitality projects and thus pay a lot of attention to important operational details.
