The waiter was really nice to us, the waitress was a little grumpy and stressed, but not rude. We first had the cauliflower soup, which was very good, an let me tell you, it would've filled me completely, despite my huge appetite. So i had to left some because we also ordered the alaska pollak something... Which is a natural smelling fish with mashed potatoes etc (picture). Hey, you gotta try fish somewhere when youre in antwerp. The fish itself was a little flavorless but all in all, this dish was very good and rich. Its very buttery and heavy but i liked it a lot.

Two solid visit although I would forgo a steak and get the Beef Beer Stew which was phenomenal.

I told the server and asked if she could please give me a fresh salad, and she told me no. For a pricey restaurant I would think replacing a small salad to make a customer happy wouldn't be a big deal, but here it was. Therefore I would not come back here.

During that time I like to rediscover my hometown and see what's new. The Lasagnerie was definitely on my list since it made a few newspapers when it opened. I was recommended to make a reservation, which turns out was a good tip since all tables did fill up later on the evening. The crowd was a mix between locals as well as students, which is to be expected with such a central location. We were greeted in a friendly manner upon arrival and could pick a table to our liking either inside or out. The interior is cozy, yet modern with little accents left and right. The menu itself of course features lasagnas, though there are quite a few different flavors to choose from such as meat, fish, veggies and a seasonal one (pumpkin and bacon for autumn). Each one has a wine pairing suggestion as well. All of us picked different flavors and we loved it. Prices are very reasonable considering that you are in the city center and are receiving food made with fresh ingredients along with carefully selected wines. Definitely worth a visit to get your Garfield on!

One of the only Thai restaurant near my place so this is our on the go Thai whenever our taste buds…read moredemands it. Middle of the week, after work, lazy to prepare dinner but wanted to be served fast and eat fast to rest early, we've decided to eat at Anothaï. We opened the door and were quite surprised, a lot of tables were already occupied but as usual we were greeted politely by the owner/server and gave us the option to choose an available table that suited us. Once seated (7:20pm), we immediately received the menu card (a lot to choose from), was able to order 10 minutes after and was served with krupuk and drinks. We opted for soup and a main dish. Then the nightmare began ... Pros : - Polite multilingual service; - Great Menu Card (if you want to discover Thai Food, it's the place to be as there are a lot of dishes to choose from : fish, seafood's, pork, chicken, beef, etc.); - Until now, no need for reservation as we've been able to sit and eat; - 10% discount for Take Away orders. To improve : - The place has to be revamp as there are a lot of cracks here and there; - Too bad for paper napkins; - Slow service (only one server who is the owner) because no real catering experience; - Due to the slow service, we had to request to have it Take Away (we came at 7:30pm and left at 9:15pm and the main dish was served via Take Away). This happened because they've put the Take Away orders in priority instead of taking the restaurant's order first (very disappointing). Food : - A lot to choose from (wide choice of Thai food). This for me was PERFECT, a nostalgic experience when we were in Thailand last October 2014. - I've ordered the spicy herb soup with mushroom and tamarind which was divine. There were real mushrooms and tofus and a lot of it! Unlike at other Thai restaurants, this one has the real Thai food's smell and taste (thanks to the female Thai chefs). - As main dish : Fried fresh rice noodles with beef, egg, vegetables and black soy sauce and it tasted phenomenal. Poops Corner : - Two restrooms available (male and female). A common comfort room although quite dated and need a revamp (like the whole restaurant); - At the ladies room, there's a toddler potty seat (a bit weird but maybe for Momma's with children); - The faucet of the sink was calcareous so the while washing your hands, you should be careful not to splash on your clothes! Price : - Reasonable price for what you get. A bit pricey for the soups but nevertheless the taste is awesome (kudos to the Thai chefs). Overall : - This is a nice place to go if you want to discover a variety of Thai Food. But be warned as the service could get quite long and instead of having a two hours meal, you might leave 5 hours later (better get a Take Away then).

I also want to emphasize that it's a really good amount of very delicious food that you get for €12! There are 4 dishes - fish on green curry (delicious and flavours danced); beef with ginger (loved this sauce and how the spice was from ginger and not heat, although one co-diner did say he got tough beef pieces); chicken in red curry and basil (this had a great heat, really cleared out my sinuses!) and then a veg tofu dish with simply tons of vegetables, which was my personal favorite, although majority opinion of my other co- diners was split between the fish and chicken. Along with these 4 curries (and rice of course) we also got 3 appetizers - calamari rings, vegetarian curry triangles and vegetarian spring rolls. I enjoyed the curry triangles the most, but the other two were offerings were also pretty good! We also split two x1 liter water and that was €10 so great food at a fantastic price! Will try and come back again for their buffet!
