The soup was very tasty. I was disappointed by the dry meat from the mixed grill. No lamb cutlet but a dry lamb burger, chicken sausages, chicken pieces and a bone dry piece of steak. Luckily I had the mushroom sauce to cover up the dryness. The fries just the normal frozen type and not homemade. The side salad on the plate was a bit limp. My friend ate the chicken lasagne which she enjoyed. It wasn't cheap so I was very disappointed as it was a special dinner out with a friend. I did not want to complain or cause a fuss. I didn't have the energy.The ambiance is cosy and spacious. The staff are attentive. I know that the meat served is halal but I've had tastier succulent meats in the past.

We visited this venue twice in one day purely by chance on a day trip to Antwerp. The Staff are very friendly and welcoming, everyone speaks great English and the service is excellent! The food was served fresh and warm alongside superb attention to detail. The overall experience was very enjoyable and we left feeling satisfied and content! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a simple brunch or a proper meal!

I came here 2 weeks ago and they offered us a table even without having a reservation which was very nice of them. The food was visualy pleasing and delicous. Highly recommend the place.

Zeer aangename plaats om even te stoppen voor een vlugge hap of drankje. Wij bestelden een wafel en die smaakte heel vers en lekker. Vanop het terras zagen wij de stad met de Boerentoren en Kathedraal, wat gezellig. De schaakclub was druk bezig in een apart zaaltje. Groepen zijn hier steeds welkom

A nice looking brasserie serving traditional Belgian food. The price/quality ratio is good. I'm not sure if it is normal for the place but we were there on a Monday, arrived around 19 and kitchen closed already at 20 and we're asked to leave by 21. So we had to hurry a bit. Check that out before you book. Otherwise it's a nice place.

Oh the dishes were lip smacking. The quantity is huge. The ambience was pretty. And dessert had amazing taste.
The food seemed fresh to taste and it was completely soul filling.

If you have come from US then this restaurant serves the same quantity as it is served in a good restaurant in US. So you can order accordingly.

My first visit in Belgium and I'm in love in Antwerp
Google showed this restaurant as being open, and their listed hours indicated it was open, and we walked-in during the normal (somewhat limited) Belgian lunch window, to be told by the very friendly staff member “I’m sorry we’re closed”. Lesson: Might be worth calling to double check they really are open. Having said that, the decor & atmosphere (even empty) indicated this would be a great spot! We will try to eat here again for sure.

Second time visit - tried their Tonijn 'Mi-cuit' and it was fantastic. It has an Asian touch which I really like, with seaweed and nori crackers! It blends really together with the grilled vegetables. The tuna portions was really generous compared to other restaurants(fish dishes in general), which I am really surprised!

Their steaks are incredibly good. Once you slice the meat, you can tell how bleu-tiful it is and perfectly seared by the chef.

Don't forget to end your meal with Dame Blanche, to wrap up your lovely evening.

Had a wonderful meal here. Our waiter was also very good.
Best dinner we had in Europe! Excellent service and an incredible meal. The truffle steak tartare was unique and a true delight. We both ordered the specials, ribeye and sea bass and were both ecstatic with our choices. We will definitely be back again.
A lot of thought went into a great selection of dishes. Very good waiters.

Nice bistro with a broad variety of dishes including some starters/snacks, sandwiches, meat and seafood.
They have a nice shaded outside seating.
Unfortunately, the lady servicing was not very friendly and attentive and even snapped at us.

Located next door to Reubens house this place is a solid option. We came for lunch and sat out front on the shaded courtyard. It was rather busy but service was prompt. The food was very good. I’d definitely eat lunch here again.

Had the pork chop and was surprised it came so thick! Although it was thick, the meat was still soft and juicy. However, the sauce is quite light in taste and I had to add more pepper to it. Atmosphere was okay but the pricing is on the higher side.

Sympathiek en eenvoudig terras met een FANTASTISCH uitzicht op Antwerp Skyline... Lekkere huisgemaakte garnaal en kaaskroketjes. Zalig plekje op het terras🔝
Classic dishes with high-quality ingredients in basic presentation style. Milk-fed lamb from the Pyrenees was great, although vegetables and gravy were a bit bland. The bottle of rioja wine had a corky smell and taste, but the waiter was quick to get a new bottle. Quite expensive given the setting and presentation.

Lively and popular place, no booking, no table.
You can enjoy a beer (try triple Westmalle!) at the counter while waiting (most likely if you booked for the second service).
Service is friendly, food is good, prices are correct.
What can I add?
Try it out!
Outstanding meal. Great food . Fresh prepared and intimate restaurant. Must visit in Antwerp
In one word: sublime! The food was overwhelming, we had a saddle of hare, never eaten that good, the wine was excellent and not overpriced. The chef came to our table to explain the dishes, the service was fantastic. The place itself is authentic art deco. This hidden gem is an absolutely must to experience
Beautiful restaurant tucked away near the North of town. The old bistro interior sets a great tone, and the (very friendly) kitchen staff came to elaborate on all the suggestions at our table. The small menu suggests that these people are set on serving high quality, fresh products. And they delivered: top notch stuff! I'm afraid I felt that our waitress didn't really fit in.
Topadres.

Nice place with quiet ambience. The kipfilet I had, was grilled perfectly. The cheese garlic bread and fries were served hot and fresh from the kitchen. Minor grouse is that the portions could be a bit larger. Also, one interesting thing : they don't serve any kind of alcohol, which was a first for me in Belgium.

I had a wonderful dinner at Zafraan, it's next to TRYP hotel.
Mr hicham is a really nice person, and an amazing cook.
The grilled chicken with Smashed potato was the tastiest of all.
