Guests of Antwerp are welcome to try food with asparagus virtually everywhere, from small and inexpensive cafes to elite Michelin restaurants. Guests of Antwerp even have an opportunity to learn to cook asparagus in accordance with the national traditions if they decide to participate in interesting culinary master classes. As a rule, these master classes take place in the historic brewery of De Koninck. Visitors can also sample the best varieties of local beer during excursions in the brewery.
