Dear Guest, Welcome at Matterhorn. For those who are visiting for the first time: we created this place as a tribute to our favorite mountain - the Matterhorn. It’s an impressive, beautiful peak; and just seeing it makes us instantly happy. We hope this place does the same for you.
Antwerp is a fantastic shopping destination, so we couldn’t go without a few of our favorite things. We’ve included top of the notch addresses, some spring must-haves, and a number of inspirational locals. And ultimately, this magazine is an homage to this fantastic location, called De Wilde Zee. It’s Antwerp’s Luxury District, and we’re proud to be part of it.
This magazine is part of the Matterhorn experience: we wish to inspire you with our selection of the best things Anwerp has to offer. Whether you are here for a serious business lunch, or just for a quick stop in between shopping, we’ve got it covered. Check out our food and drinks menu right in the core of the magazine. Matterhorn Magazine is also about lifestyle.
So relax, enjoy our food and drinks, soak up the spring sun on our fantastic terrace - and feel free to take this magazine home with you. Hope to welcome you again soon. The Dheedene Family, Luc, Miguel & Gregory.

Cold coffee … It wakes you up, cools you down and turns you into a hipster instantly: cold coffee really is the way to go. Which is exactly why we’ve added it to our Matterhorn menu. We’re obviously not spilling the details of our recipe (okay, it includes ice), but we can tell you this: there’s A LOT you didn’t now about this cool drink.
* Coffee is actually a fruit. Coffee beans are the pits of a cherrylike berry. So, when you’re having a cold coffee, you’re more or less having a juice. Right? * The largest iced coffee was brewed in Las Vegas in 2010: 1500 liters of it went into a small swimming pool. * You can overdose on iced coffee. However, you would have to drink over 100 cups in a row to consume the lethal dose of caffeine. * Cold (and hot) coffee drinkers have a lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
* Coffee is a fat burner - it speeds up your metabolism. Which is why coffee always comes with cake, we think.
By the way: cold coffee for breakfast is smarter than a cup of steaming hot coffee. Because you can drink it faster, the caffeine kicks in faster that way, which makes it the best way to revive a sleepy head. Plus: if your coordination is off in the morning, spilling a cup of cold coffee won’t hurt you as much. Just sayin’.
* Shepherds discovered coffee in Ethiopia in 800 BC. They noticed that their goats had eaten a strange berry, and had started doing a weird, hyperactive dance. ICED LUNGO

#MatterhornRegular If you’re a regular Matterhorn visitor yourself, you might have noticed: we have a few Extra Special customers that come here more often than others. The first one we’d like to introduce to you is Yves Allinckx, owner of Heritage 50, an exclusive drinks distribution company.
What’s your relationship with Matterhorn?
pagne business, I still enjoy every single glass of it. “
Yves: “My company, Heritage 50, is the exclusive distributor of a number of wines, sparkling wines and champagnes that are sold here at Matterhorn.”
Do you have a favorite shop here in the ‘De Wilde Zee’area?
When you stop by, what do you order? Yves: “Bar food, and the pizza. The apero moment is my favorite time of day ;-), and the rule is: no apero without some excellent finger food. Or a pizza.”
What’s your favorite drink? Yves: “Champagne. The ‘Jacquart Brut Mosaïque’ is unbelievable. Even after 25 years in the cham-
“Yves: there’s a butcher here, called ‘De Schelde’. He has the very best selection of fine meats in the area. And right across from him is my other guilty pleasure: the chocolate store of Pierre Marcolini.”
One last thing: have you actually seen the real Matterhorn mountain yet? Yves: “Absolutely. I went on a skiing trip to Matterhorn last year - it was amazing.”

You KNOW it’s spring when ... ➊ you actually start shaving your legs again. No need for that in winter, right? ➋ you’ve switched from a full option cappuccino to an iced coffee. With extra ice. ➌ you’re invited to like, a thousand bbq-nights and a million weddings. ➍ your shopping cart contains self tanner, deodorant and light versions of everything.
➎ you wake up earlier than you want. Thanks to the bloody sun coming through your window. And the birds, those terrible noisy birds. ➏ your Sundays are destroyed by the sound of lawn mowers. All day. Just when you needed a nap. ➐ you can’t stop sneezing and wheezing. Spring season = allergy season, in case you had forgotten.
#matterhornantwerp 13
➑ you see pastel colors everywhere. Pastel clothes, pastel hair, pastel drinks and pastel cookies. ➒ everyone around you older than 50 is cleaning house. Like, literally cleaning the ENTIRE house, attic and basement included. ➓ you fall in love all the time. With new clothes, new people, new tv series and even new pets. Spring does that to you, so be careful who you kiss ;-)

Matterhorn Friends When we’re not at Matterhorn, we’re either sleeping, or here: hanging out at our friends’ place. 1. Maison de Trazegnies
2. Aveda
3. Nail Couture 43
If you are planning a sleepover in Antwerp, there’s basically only one option to consider: book a stay at Maison de Trazegnies. Situated in one of the city’s best locations - Het Zuid -, this private living concept offers 2 suites and one apartment. Expect pure luxury and comfort, an outdoor jaccuzzi, a private spa and excellent service - you might want to sell your house and live here permanently.
We love our neighbors, especially when they smell this good: the brand new Aveda store right next door is totally worth a visit. Go there if you want to get your chakras fixed, if you like all natural beauty products or if you want some very professional skin or hair advice. There’s a men’s department too, so don’t be shy and bring your boyfriend.
Not your average beauty salon, Nail Couture 43. The location is awesome: when you walk in, you find yourself in a beautiful, French chic-style living room. With the mainly white interior, the high ceilings and the classical details, this is a salon you could actually live in. But there’s more to it, obviously: this is THE place for some state of the art beauty fixes. Our favorites from the menu? * You can get your nails done in ANY style you like, whether you prefer the classic French manicure, or some extra special nail art. * If you like bambi style lashes, this is the place to ask for lash extensions or (our favorite) a lash lift.

If you’re a regular Matterhorn visitor yourself, you might have noticed: we have a few Extra Special customers that come here more often than others. The next one we’d like to introduce to you is Christophe Glorieux, on premise manager.
CHRISTOPHE GLORIEUX
#matterhornantwerp 18
#MatterhornRegular Christophe, why are you a regular here? Christophe: “This is the ultimate spot in Antwerp for a business meeting, a quick lunch or a party. I come here businesswise, because our products (Fever Tree, Red Bull, Copperhead, Desperados) are sold here, but I also come here as a friend of the Dheedene family.”
What’s your standard food order? Christophe: “The classics: chicken noodle, or a good old shrimp croquette. My rule is: if the classics are good, everything is good. And Matterhorn delivers, every time.”
Your perfect Saturday? Christophe: “A fairly early rise, some breakfast or brunch, and then my weekly football game with friends. At night some good food and drinks with those same friends: love it.”
What’s your favorite drink? Christophe: “A Moscow Mule, that’s vodka, lime and Fever-Tree Ginger Beer. It’s spicy, fresh and a bit out of the ordinary - I can’t resist this drink.”
It’s almost spring time. You like that? Christophe: “I do! The best part about spring is that suddenly everything looks more positive. That and the fact that life can be lived outdoors: the bbq parties, the terraces... Matterhorn has a great terrace too, and it only gets better in spring.”
#matterhornantwerp 19
It’s Mocktail O’Clock! Every now and then, it’s good to go alcohol free. When you’re driving, or when you’re on a detox. We know it’s hard, so we’ve tried to make it easy on you: these four mocktails are almost (okay, almost) as good as the real deal. Just try them, once - we bet we can convince you to alcohol free from time to time.
#matterhornantwerp 20
Sunrise Fresh orange juice, fresh lemon and lime juice and grenadine. The perfect morning wake-up call!
Virgin Mojito A fresh and summery mix of lime, mint, ginger ale and crushed ice. Perfect when it’s boiling hot outside.
Cranberry Cooler We’ve mixed cranberry juice with rosé lemonade and some soda. It’s pink, it’s girly and it’s real good.
#matterhornantwerp 21
Strawberry Mock-quiri A fruity blend of fresh strawberries, fresh orange juice and fresh lemon juice. Tastes better than a fruit salad, and the vitamin level is the same. Win-win, right?
#matterhornantwerp 22
Spring Cravings A pizza a day, keeps the doctor away. Okay no, maybe that’s not exactly true, but our pizzas will seriously boost your mood. Even when the sun’s not out, they’ll make you feel like you’re in Italy, having lunch. We’ve got the classics covered - from Margarita to Hawaï -, but we’ve also created an extra special Matterhorn pizza - an Antwerp exclusive. It’s got spicy minced meat on it, as well as peperoni (so no: not the veggie option, we’re afraid) and we’ve added fresh basil and oregano. It’s tasty, it’s fierce, it’ll do the trick. If we may make an extra suggestion: order a bunch of pizzas, and share them with friends. It really is the ultimate way to get the party started. Enjoy! P.S. For those who are in the middle of a Netflix binge watch: all our pizzas can be ordered for take away.
#matterhornantwerp 23
If you’re a regular Matterhorn visitor yourself, you might have noticed: we have a few Extra Special customers that come here more often than others. The final one we’d like to introduce to you is Lesly Vandoninck, account manager Hospitality at Bacardi Martini.
#matterhornantwerp 24
#MatterhornRegular Tell us, why are you a regular here at Matterhorn?
Do you have a signature drink?
Lesly: “Obviously we have a professional relation: this place serves our brands, including our premium ones; so this is the perfect place to try a Bacardi Martini long drink. But: I’m a fervent shopper and this is the ultimate stopover before (or in between) shops. “
Lesly: “You bet: the Espresso Martini. It’s a mix of vodka Grey Goose, coffee spirit and espresso. It’s really perfect after a heavy dinner, but I like it just as much to kick start a night out. It’s both sweet and powerful, and actually very feminine. It’s a must-try.”
What’s your favorite item on the menu?
What Antwerp-insider tip would you give the many tourists that come here?
Lesly: “The Ceasar Salad - I love it here. It’s fresh and crunchy and perfect for lunch - going to work afterwards is much easier after I’ve lunched here.”
Lesly: “Stay a while. Really: this city is busy and bustling and there so much to do and see - it’s really important to take the time to enjoy it like the locals do.”

May the Force be with you! It’s always a good idea to start your day with something healthy, and we’ve got the perfect suggestion: a beetroot smoothie. It’s got beetroot in it (obviously), but also some raspberry, banana and orange. A full breakfast in a pretty glass, basically. And here’s five reasons why you should try it: 1. Beetroot is known to stimulate the liver detox process: if you’ve had a few drinks the night before, beetroot can help you get rid of the toxins. 2. It’s rich in fibers, so beetroot can help lower cholesterol. 3. High blood pressure? Have more beetroot: this veggie lowers your blood pressure and helps avoid heart disease. 4. Many athletes eat beetroot by the kilo - it is said to improve energy levels and boost stamina. 5. Plus: it’s good for the skin! You won’t turn purple - beetroot just makes your skin look rosy and healthy because of the high level of anti oxidants. Cheers! #BEAT’NBLEND

Salad Days Spring traditionally is the time you start switching foods: most people move away from comfort food and eat salad more often, because well: bikini season is on its way, right? We’ve prepared a healthy, tasty and beautiful Salmon Salad for you, containing only good ingredients that contain few calories. The salmon is seared, so that it’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We’ve added a mix of leafy greens and fresh cut herbs - it’s really tasty, and really good for you. Did you know, by the way, that salmon is packed with omega 3 fatty acids? That’s quite a mouth full, but we’ll break it down for you: those acids slow down the aging process. Eat more salmon, need less botox - now isn’t that a nice slogan!

Chill’Out Food Here’s the thing: Matterhorn is THE place where people come to chill and have a break. And there can be no break without a decent drink and some fine finger food. So here’s what we can offer you: Our crispy chicken is notorious. People keep coming back for it, and yes: it really is that good. Not to mention the famous curry dip that goes along with it - it’s addictive. Our shrimp croquette is another favorite: it’s classical Belgian food, and we’ve noticed that most tourists LOVE it. It comes per piece, so if you’re real hungry, don’t hesitate to order a double portion. A great vegetarian option is the aioli dip with Italian focaccia bread - not the best idea for a first date (you’ll smell the garlic on your breath) but really tasty. One more thing: sharing is caring, but if you want to eat that crispy chicken plate all by yourself, we won’t judge. We know some things are just too good to share... CRISPY CHICKEN

YOUR GUIDE TO IBIZA’S FINEST HOTSPOTS Forget ‘All roads lead to Rome’; it’s ‘All roads lead to Ibiza’ now. Because this Spanish island has EVERYTHING that makes life worth living: the sun, the beaches, the nature, the parties, the beautiful people and the fantastic food.
Oh, we forgot one: the places to stay. Ibiza has THE BEST villas of the world (we really can’t understand what’s keeping George Clooney from moving here) and staying in one of the fantastic pool-with-a-view houses makes your Ibiza experience complete.
#matterhornantwerp 45
The best news? Belgian website Ibiza.be offers you a top selection of those villas, all in one place. Surf over, browse through fantastic pictures and book right away. You can be in Ibiza tomorrow, if you want to.

Where the Matterhorn people shop Because yes: we like our money where we can see it. Hanging in our closet. 1. Oxford
2. Essentiel
3. Monar
If you like your clothes premium, luxurious and chic, Oxford is the place to go. This iconic store hosts collections for both men and women, and focuses on timeless, classic pieces. From Ralph Lauren’s ultra-wearable polo shirts to the more daring fashion collections of Hogan: this shop oozes the sporty chic style we all desire. Two things: this store is way bigger than you can imagine, so take your time. And also: take your husband. He’ll love it here.
Bright, happy, fun and always spot on trend: Essentiel is based in Antwerp and hugely popular in town. Head to one of the three Essentiel Stores and discover your dream wardrobe here. From funky sweaters to classy two-pieces and all the accessories you ever wanted: you can find us here, on Saturday afternoons. The best part? Everything is VERY affordable; be prepared to leave here with a few kilos of new stuff.
Shoe addicts beware: your addiction is about to get worse. Monar is one of the best known shoe spots in Antwerp, and here’s why: their collection is HUGE and a very intelligent mix of high (MM6) and lower (Converse) positioned brands. Looking for a pair of comfy heels? They’ve got it. More into glittery sneakers? Check! Need a pair of flat Ibiza-style sandals: over here!
