Had dinner at this very nice looking and atmospheric restaurant (7th of March). The food was ok,…read morebut really not great. Starter of salmon and beetroot (they forgot the creme on top of the beetroot, we later realized, so it lacked a specific taste) and Onglet as a main. This was very chewy, I did not finish it because of that. The thing we where mostly not so enthusiastic about was the waitress, we asked her what the glass of cava costs that she offered us as an aperitif, she answered 5 euro. On the bill where two glasses of €8,50 a piece. When we mentioned this, the waitress said she was sorry. When I said that it would be more then reasonable to let us pay the €5,- that was told to us, but she wouldn't do that. Don't know why this restaurant has such good reviews to be honest, beside the nice interior and atmosphere. Not really recommended.

The concept of Radis Noir is unique in Antwerp. On one side you have the store which operates for…read moreprepared mails to take home and on the other side you can have all the great dishes in the served and prepared for you. I went there for a business dinner and we ordered the 7-course menu with adapted wines for 110 EUR. Every dish that came was just perfect! The thing I remember the most are the lobster ravioli in bouillabaisse and the "Hopscheuten in 't groen" with a pooched egg. Fresh and tasty just the way you like it! The main course was a slow cooked rack of black belly pork which was soooo tender you could just suck it so it would melt in you mouth. When I order adapted wines, I'm used to getting less wine then when you order a bottle. But this time the 35 EUR surplus was worth it. At each course they refilled our glasses twice and we got 4 different kind of tastes. I'll definitely go back to take out and maybe one day also for dinner again.

Name sounds promising. Haute cuisine,but overpriced. Only ones enjoying the lunch menu, very akward.read more

Nope! We followed the Michelin guide and made a reservation…read morehere for dinner on Tuesday and ouch were we disappointed! The wait staff was not attentive. Never checked on our table in between meals - do I want another glass of wine? Is food to our liking? Is there anything else I want? took a while to order too One waitress while serving our meal spilled it over the table - and just walked away. Now about the food, we had a la carte because pre fix was not inspiring at all. We got escargot, open ravioli with crab, and for the main we ordered cod and veal "en torture" (cheek, tongue, and sweetbreads) We only admired the ravioli. After we asked for the check the waiter asked us about our meal experience and I did share my concern about nobody paying any attention to us, just joking behind the counter, food was not up to the expectation as well - no action. The restaurant has a nice classy ambiance but if you are looking for more attentive service, and creative food, I would recommend to seek elsewhere. This should not be on the Michelin guide

Nice discovery in this part of Antwerp. Very enthusiastic staff who took very well care of a busy…read moredining room. Food was pretty nice, well thought and presented with an artistic eye the chef seems to have. The suggestions are a welcome addition to the menu. The restaurant has a set 3 course menu, with choices that should appeal to most guests. Not a cheap eatery, but worth the visit.

Whoops, almost forgot to write a review for this place. We had lunch here on Tuesday after our…read moreintended destination around the corner ended up being closed. While the adjacent restaurant was much busier, this one seemed inviting, so we settled into an outdoor table (it definitely had filled up by the time we left). In hindsight, we would have sat indoors because the temperature seemed fine in there and it was really cute and homey. We ordered beers (natch), their version of a quinoa bowl (forgot the Flemish for it!) and a "chicken burger", which actually turned out to be a fried chicken sandwich. Both dishes were excellent. The grain bowl was like what you'd find in the States but better: loaded with veggies and a killer sauce. And who knew Belgians could make such a good fried chicken!? It was well-cooked and had the same sauce as the bowl, which was tasty. Of course it came with frites, but at that point we had had so many fries that we could barely differentiate. Service was extremely friendly and efficient. We ended up having more of an "American" meal here, but that was fine by us since we had OD'ed on the native stuff. Four happy stars, and we'd recommend this Zeppos to anyone wanting a good lunch in Antwerp.

My first meal in Antwerp was probably my favorite in all of Belgium…read more Kapitein Zeppos is kind of off the beaten path, but you'll know when you get there. They have a giant outdoor seating area across from the restaurant. It was a little too hot for me, so I decided to sit inside. I ordered a beer (a Jack's Precious IPA that really hit the spot), and then ordered some food. I went with the vol au vent, and holy crap, it was amazing. If you're not familiar with the dish, it's a puff pastry drowning in mushroom gravy with shredded chicken and ever-so-tiny meatballs. And if that's not enough, it came with a generous side of fries (with mayonnaise for dipping, of course). Rich doesn't even begin to describe it. The textures, the flavors, everything was perfect. Probably the heartiest thing I've ever eaten. Stop on by!
