On October 22nd The Dirty Rabbit opens its doors (well, one huge metal door anyway) in the Zuid neighbourhood of Antwerp. Not your average café, but a rugged bar where you can enjoy top cocktails, craft beer and nice wines. The atmosphere is relaxed in the week, but things can get quite out of hand during weekends. That’s cool for the ladies, but mostly for everyone who’s looking for a wild night. “Picking those feet up off the floor” doesn’t just happen on the dancefloor… The dancing pole in front of the stage is very popular as well with both men and women (and not just the intoxicated ones). Chosen as the Best Belgian Bar in 2015 at the Venuez Hospitality awards.

The Dirty Rabbit has a surface area of 400 m². Fortunately, getting a small breather is also possible: 50 seats are provided.

In the Zuid neighbourhood of Antwerp, a vintage chic restaurant springs up, designed by Kurt Hereygers of Not Before Ten. The new restaurant is named Josephine’s, after the French-American dancer and singer Josephine Baker. With an exclusively second-hand interior and a Dry Martini Bar, Josephine’s is warm, stylish and hyper classical. On Jazzy Thursday, you can hear jazzy piano and double bass, and during the weekend the DJs select soul, funk and feel good music. The taste reflects a traditional, high-quality and seasonal cuisine with as much attention as possible to local products. Because of that, but especially because of the special attention to music, people used to come to Josephine’s for the total experience…

Josephine’s had a surface area of 400 m² with 80 seats in the restaurant and 50 at the bar.

In 2010 Leaders Club Belgium organised a competition. Josephine’s won the Silver Palm as the nation’s second best restaurant concept.

Built alongside the river and based on the same principles as Chilli Club Hamburg, the Bremen Branch of Chilli Club opens its doors in June 2010. Its relaxed attitude and 350 river view seats make it the perfect spot to close off your busy working week.

Think big: taking up 1000 m² of space, this restaurant, with its sushi bar and drinks lounge, offers a seat to 350 people. The terrace, with its magnificent view of the river, even has a capacity of 250 to 500 people.

All German Chilli Club restaurants are run in partnership with Gastroconsulting.

Stuart Catering is brought to life in 2008, as a reaction to the often-heard customer question to recreate the look and feel of our restaurants and bars on location.

After a full restyling, Wok & Tandoor opens its doors in 2006. It was a beautiful restaurant with a private dining basement where you could dine in small groups.  As the name suggested, Wok & Tandoor specialized in wok dishes and meals made with the tandoor and shahi grill. The principle? All you can eat or by the menu.

Wok & Tandoor could seat 120 people in the restaurant and 30 at the bar.

In 2007, Leaders Club France held a concept competition. Wok & Tandoor won the Silver Palm for the second best restaurant concept in France and Belgium.

Chilli Club Hafencity in Hamburg opens up in 2005. The first German Chilli Club provides a full-on food experience with its sushi bar, variety of Asian dishes, cocktail bar, lounge area and a big terrace besides the water. A complete concept!

Chilli Club Hafencity offers about 100 seats in the restaurant. On top of that, there’s an outside terrace alongside the water, with no less than 200 seats. What’s more, the terrace gives you a spectacular view of the museum harbour. Total surface area? 400 m²… A place across the border that’s definitely worth a visit!

All German Chilli Club restaurants are run in partnership with Gastroconsulting.

A bit naughty, opening a place like the Absinthbar at a time when absinth is illegal in Belgium. It’s 2004 and the owners look at this prohibition as the perfect challenge to go ahead and do it anyway. Thus, the menu contains absinth aplenty with a whole slew of special cocktails besides that, and a broad selection of spirits and beer. Absinth becomes legal again in the meantime, yet remains one of the most popular drink choices on our menu. In the Antwerp area, the Absinthbar is rather well-known for its large variety of classic and modern cocktails as well. Ever since 2012 you can also get access to The Private Bar from Sundays to Thursdays. The name says it all: hidden behind massive wooden doors and a revolving book wall, lies a gem of a bar in typical ‘speakeasy’ style. Exactly the place to make a good impression during events or receptions, tastings and workshops. Perfectly private!

The Absinthbar seats no less than 40 people. When the weather is nice, you can enjoy your drink on the terrace that has place for 45 more.
