Es Balagan is a Mediterranean deli, café, bar and gathering place in Antwerp. But a great place is never built by food alone. It’s built by people. People who care. Who notice the details. Who like making others feel welcome. Who take responsibility. And who understand that hospitality is something you create together.

We’re always interested in meeting good people. Floor. Bar. Kitchen. Deli. Events. Leadership.

Experience matters. But energy, curiosity, ownership and genuine hospitality matter just as much.

We like people who want to learn. People who bring something to the table. People who don't wait to be told what needs to happen.

No ego.
Lots of personality.
One team.

Hospitality should feel generous, for our guests and for the people creating it. We work hard, but we have fun doing it. We share food. We communicate openly. We take responsibility. We help each other when service gets messy. Because sometimes it does. That’s Balagan.

And when everything comes together, there’s no better feeling than a full room, great music and a team that knows exactly what it’s doing.

A team you can be proud to be part of. Space to learn, grow and take responsibility. Clear roles and expectations. Competitive conditions. Opportunities to grow with Es Balagan. Good food and even better staff meals. And a workplace where hospitality, food, music and culture meet around the table.

We’re currently building the next chapter of Es Balagan. Think you belong at the table?

Come as you are. Bring something to the table.
