Almost hidden in a corner of the largest market of Belgium, you'd never expect to find such a nice…read morepearl of contemporary Belgian cuisine. Chef Guy presents you very well balanced plates mostly based on some Belgian classics with a modern twist. Very honest, no bullshit,presneted with a touch of disarming sweetness by his lovely wife Tineke. Honestly, we don't come here often enough! Last week we went for lunch. Don't expect your brasserie beef stew with a potato soup here. No, proper fine dining with a fixed choice of two courses + dessert (or cheese), or adding an extra 3rd course in between. Don't rush it though, we took the whole lunch menu at ease and were there from 12:00 till 14:30 ;-) Well worth it.

Amazing food. Only reason they don't have a star is because they focus on food and not wearing a…read morecostume. Every dish is unique, very nice fusion. You can see the chef really loves food of all places in the world. And their wines fit very good with the sauces of their dishes. Really recommend this place!

Those who manage to find it won't be disappointed. Their spareribs are delicious and if you don't like sticky fingers, their shrimps are also a recommendation. Very cosy restaurant in the middle of an enjoyable city.

Ola and Olivier try their utmost best to make this Brasserie the best one in Sint-Niklaas (my…read morehometown), and I think they've succeeded. We come here every Friday after choir practice, expect to hear us singing when one of us buys a drink :). The atmosphere is decidedly better than that of its competitors. They serve great food at a reasonable price, probably because it's all still very new to them and they are very motivated. Be sure to try any of the specials on the menu! The mussels "of the house" are delicious (only in season). The lasagnes are fantastic, especially the one with lamb. If you want traditional Belgian food, try the "Vlaamse stoverij". Ola - the cook - is also quite good at Italian style dishes and the typical French cuisine such as Steak au poivre (peppercorn steak). Free WiFi is available on request and is very good. The kitchen can be open quite late in weekends, especially if you call ahead to let them know you're coming. They speak a lot of languages, amongst which Polish! The only negative thing of note is that they don't have one of Belgium's most popular beers, called "Duvel". We regularly let them know, too :). The place is quite good for a romantic outing. They have plenty of tables that can accommodate couples on the ground floor. In the weekends the music is rather "loungy" after 11pm. This restaurant is located on the Grote Markt of Sint-Niklaas, the second largest marketplace in Europe after the Red Square in Moscow. It's about 100m from the Ibis Hotel, and on the same side of the market place. There is ample parking under the market, and it's free on Saturday afternoon. One last thing to note is that they are capable of accommodating groups on the second floor (please call them so they can make arrangements!).

As a treat, we were taken to Den Antus for the evening mealWe were welcomed by a very friendly staff and even the boss came to chat to us. We were a party of 40 people and we did not have long to wait for a beautiful soup, then we were served chicken in a Diane style sauce with a fine selection of vegetables. We had wine, my son and wife a red and I a white)The meal finished off with a superb chunk of apple pie. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the meal, the company and especially the staff who laughed and joked with us. It is only 200 yards from the hotel IBIS in sint niklaas. Highly recommended !!
