Het Archief, an iconic wine bar in Antwerp

The story

Het Archief is my own wine bar in Antwerp, housed inside a protected cast-iron former provincial archive dating from 1851.

Why Het Archief is iconic

It is my daily proof that architecture, hospitality, wine and history can become one inseparable experience.
