The story
August delivers refined seasonal dining within the converted corridors of a former Augustinian cloister in Antwerp. Vincent Van Duysen guided the restoration, preserving the original chapel’s high ceilings and stone walls. Guests dine in the surrounding gallery before stepping onto a covered terrace that opens into the private gardens. The architecture favors quiet proportions over grand gestures.
The culinary program follows a strict seasonal rhythm that prioritizes local produce and regional terroir. Dishes remain accessible yet creative, shifting weekly to match the harvest calendar. Patrons may choose individual plates or select from a dedicated sharing lunch menu. This dedication to seasonal cooking keeps the menu tightly connected to the land.
August earned one radish in the 2026 We’re Smart Green Guide, reflecting the kitchen’s commitment to conscious sourcing. Sommeliers structure wine pairings to complement the shifting daily offerings. The adjacent bar later serves crafted cocktails alongside savory small plates for a more relaxed pace. Polished finishes and quiet acoustics maintain a grounded atmosphere throughout the evening.
