On a sunny Sunday my husband and I went for a walk and stumbled upon Belgian Wines. So we thought…read morewhy not? The interieur is low key and is both a wine bar and a wine shop. You can sit and enjoy a glass or buy a bottle to go. We decided to do both and the wines didn't disappoint. There are also meat and cheese plates available - maybe next time! We spoke briefly with one of the owners about the shop. If you eat around Antwerp, a lot of the wines will look familiar. It turns out that Belgian Wines is their supplier. I am a strong believer in eating local, so I really like that Belgian wines are being promoted in the city. Plus they're delicious! The only thing holding me back from a full 5 stars is that there was a full table when we arrived of tourists and once they left, the two waitresses spent a good 5 minutes loudly making jokes and mocking them. I mean, the bar is not so big, so my husband and I were both a bit uncomfortable. If they make fun of them, are they going to make fun of us too when we leave? That won't stop me from returning, but will make me hesitant to stay too long in the shop.

The ambiance is very cozy with warm lighting, soft music playing in the background. It is rustic but with a modern twist. There is a wonderful back patio with old bricks overgrown with greenery. We asked the owner for a recommendation of a very light red wine, Pinot Noir style. He offered a tasting of a Sicilean red which was delicious. We also ordered a margarita pizza and mozzarella salad, which were equally tasty. Our waitress Laro was very friendly and spoke fluent Dutch and English. We will definitely go back again on our next visit to the area. We can highly recommend this place!

Atrocious service; such a shame as the location and wine are wonderful…read more Living in Antwerp more than 13 years we are always eager to try new restaurants/winebars. When this place opened up a few years ago, we were delighted to taste their great wines. At the time we put their frankly "rude", service down to newbie nerves. However, on our 2nd and 3rd visit we had that sinking feeling that although the location, and wine were spectacular, it really is not right to hand over hard earned cash to restaurant owners who treat their paying customers this atrociously. After a gap of almost 1 year, we arranged to meet people there last night. I can honestly say I have never experienced such rude, aggressive behavior from a restaurant in my life. I get they were tired and they wanted to close. But here's the thing; don't sell the most expensive bottle of wine to someone if you want them to leave 10 minutes later and certainly do not lean over a guest and aggressively ask if they don't like your wine as they are not drinking it fast enough. If you are from a Country where service is as important as the quality of food/drinks, then avoid this place at all costs. You might get lucky and the owners good be in a good mood if not, a visit here is likely to ruin your night in an otherwise super city.

The Bad: Even by Waterloo standards (a town of spoilt rich kids), this place is really overly pretentious, with snobby spoilt brats in polos with turned-up collars getting drunk, while their fake-tan, surgically-enhanced mothers and their sugar daddies eat in the restaurant next door. Also, the music is far too loud, but the hysterical screeching of the brats is far worse. I'm unlikely to go back

I opted for the 3-course dinner, but there was not much info as to what it was exactly, so it would be a surprise. The idea behind this restaurant is using locally sourced ingredients and making it into artful dishes. My dinner came with 3 servings of amuse bouchées, which were all great. The presentation and execution were amazing as flavors were balanced: salt and sweet, sweet and sour, etc. It was a quiet evening, and the waitresses were very pleasant to explain what each dish contained. I didn't get a chance to try the wines, but heard they are good.
