Delightful food and service in Antwerp’s oldest restaurant. They have a large menu and could manage our dietary needs, and had a beer suggestion for most decisions. The rice pudding is a must try!
We had a lovely dinner; the husbands dish was too much to finish, the staff made us a doggy bag without having a 4 legged friend 🤪 Service was swift and very friendly. Thank you❣️
Food was good but not unforgettable. I find the lobster pasta sauce kinda weird though my husband and son found it ok. The beers pairing was nice. Service was attentive though I wasn’t too happy that a chipped glass was used. It was a rather expensive meal to me. I didn’t expect to be charged eur1.50 each for ketchup and mayo. However, you do get a good view of the church and the happenings on the street if you are seated by the window. That’s a big plus.
I’ve been many times here and I’m sorry to say I feel it is not longer the good restaurant it used to be. I had the waterzooi, it was too salty and some of the potatoes were not fully cooked. They also forgot part of the order and it wasn’t that busy. Not too expensive, but this place is not cheap either. I will still give it a try again at some point.
It's a nice restaurant in the city center. The food was really good, we had a nice beef stew and and a large sauerkraut plate with a selection of sausages. However, we were not satisfied with the service. A different starter was served than the one we asked for. We sent it back, so we received the right starter after 1 hour of waiting. Similarly, after asking for mashed potetoes, we got french fries and had to wait again for them to change it. In the end, we asked for a cup of coffee which wasn't served for more than 30 minutes. After 20 minutes of waiting, we notified the waiters again and asked for the bill as well. Still, they didn't bring either the coffee or the bill after 10 more minutes. Then we decided to go and pay at the bar because our train was leaving soon. They even wanted us to pay for the coffee which was never served in the first place. This all happened in the afternoon and not during lunch/dinner time. I can honestly recommend the food but the service was disappointing.
