Café D'Anvers

What began in 2020 as America's first dedicated chocolate mousse bar, MOJO Mousse Bar, transitioned in 2024 into Cafe D'Anvers. Chef Johan Halsberghe’s evolution brings a broader Belgian-French menu to the corner of 100th Street and Lexington Avenue. Alongside the legacy mousse, the kitchen turns out tallow-fried frites and shrimp croquettes, while mussels arrive at the table in large kettles. The dining room balances its warm decor with a relaxed, domestic familiarity—though overall quality has drawn mixed reviews, the personal service feels akin to visiting a relative's home.
