Spritz

Spritz is the first 100% plant-based Italian Osteria in Antwerp, offering a unique approach to vegan dining. Originally an Italian apero bar, the restaurant transitioned to a fully vegan restaurant in 2020, adding "Osteria" to its name. In Italian, "Osteria" means a place where one can enjoy simple food and good wines. At Spritz, the focus is on serving delicious and simple Italian food, with a strong emphasis on pasta. The menu includes popular classics like carbonara, lasagna, and tiramisu, as well as lesser-known regional dishes from across Italy.

The chef behind Spritz is Luna Trapani, who is the daughter of an Italian father and Belgian mother. She aims to show that eating plant-based food can be simple and delicious, and to that end, she has written two Italian plant-based cookbooks, "Veganista" and "Vegetalia." Trapani is also the author of a food blog where she shares free recipes.

At Spritz, the dining experience is unique, with a true southern Italian setting. In addition to the classic menu, the restaurant offers changing suggestion dishes that change with the season and the ideas of the chef. The beverage menu includes delicious Italian cocktails and a selection of wines.

Overall, Spritz is a must-visit restaurant for those looking for an authentic vegan Italian dining experience in Antwerp.
