My absolute favorite thing is the green eggs, but I have not included a photo as they are not photogenic. They are super tasty. My second favorite thing is the daily quiche. Usually with veggie meals you leave feeling unhungry but not really satisfied. This is not the case at Tinsel. My breakfasts are so good that I'm good to go until the evening. Only word of warning is that the afternoons on weekends the place is packed and not fun. Best to go early or weekdays if you want a relaxing meal.

I learned this about most European restaurants the hard way after attempting to dine here two nights in a row on a very, VERY rumbly stomach. And I was desperate to have my first waffle in Belgium. So, I finally got to try this place out the morning I left and it was a nice last sit-down meal to remember the city by. I got the Wafel Désiré de Lille--a fresh, toasty, warm light waffle topped with coffee ice cream, fresh whipped cream with hazelnuts, all topped with powdered sugar--the perfect basic delicacies you could ever ask for on a waffle. This was my breakfast but it was the best meal I had in days and I was so satisfied at the end. The perfectly warm temperature of the waffle and its toastiness is very memorable, and honestly the best waffle I've ever had--and I'm not even exaggerating, after spending 6 days in Belgium, snacking on waffles on the go. It was around €8-9, which is not bad, and you do get great quality. Service was average, but wasn't bad. The waiter was no-frills but helpful with recommendations in the area during those nights where I missed the cut-off.

So far on my trip, I've had the chance to try waffles in Netherlands, but I really wanted to try an actual "Belgian" waffle. This cafe sits in the busy shopping area of Antwerp, bout 10-15 minutes walking distance from central station. When walking up I noticed the restaurant was really busy with people, which is a great sign. They have outside tables along with an inside dining area. Their menu features shakes, waffles, dutch pancakes, beignets, a few savory dishes and coffee drinks. I have no idea if they had a menu in English or not, I wasn't able to find one. My bad experience here started with service pretty much, the waitress here kind of rolled her eyes at me once she realized I didn't know any language except English (I'm sure my spanish was useless as well). After that encounter it was all downhill. I ordered their "Wafel desire de lille" thinking maybe this was their speciality waffle dish, cost about 8 euros and some change. The desire de lille was a liege waffle topped with ice cream, whipped cream and a dusting of nuts on top. Unfortunately I found the texture to be pretty bad, it wasn't crispy on top like it should have been and ended up being super soggy after the ice cream melted a bit. Taste wise it was just okay, I expected the ice cream to have a bit more flavor but it ended up being very bland. Very disappointed in both the waffle and the service here. My waitress made me feel like a total burden for some reason, even though she didn't really do much other than take my order which was just me pointing to an item on the menu. Someone else ended up bringing me my coffee and waffle. I understand the language barrier stuff, but I don't feel like that I should be treated like that. Anyways, the waffle wasn't good and service kinda sucked, not really a good time here. They also didn't have WiFi, the final nail in their 2 star review.

Vreemd dat er hier iets negatiefs over word geschreven, check de link op Facebook The Ice shop , daar heb je meer persoonlijkere reacties die meer geloofwaardiger zijn in mijn ogen.

An UNTRUSTWORTHY business. 2 Euros were charged to our bill without our consent - for tap water…read more Usually in Antwerp a business will simply not oblige you or tell you to order bottled water - if they're regressive enough to have this policy in the first place... I paid our bill and was not offered the receipt nor was I informed at the time when asking for some tap water that there would be any charge - IT'S TAP WATER AFTER ALL. I'm furious at the deceit of charging for something - and not only not informing the customer that there would be a charge - but then NOT offering a receipt to show what the bill was. I had to request it. The food (crepes mislabeled as American-style pancakes in this case) was mediocre (for crepes - obviously a failure as pancakes) and overpriced at about 10 euro a plate. Initially I wanted to come back and try some other items on the menu but not after this experience. I hope the 2euros and medieval policy on water was worth the loss of repeat business. STAY AWAY.

So, she might be a little slow to get to your table. But once you place your order, the food gets delivered pretty quickly. When I was leaving I noticed it was only 1 chef in there. I cannot believe how efficient they are. Now let's talk about their food. The sea bass filet was so fresh. The noodles were perfect. The vegetarian dish had bamboo shoots in it and it overcame all the other flavors so I didn't really enjoy it. But it didn't seem to bother my friends. Overall, I love the location and the food. Still surprised how a 2 people operation can be ran so efficiently when they had a full house and some people lining up at the door!
