I went for the lunch menu and totally loved being able to watch all the food be made, made me very excited to eat it seeing all the care that went into each individual dish. Everything was exceptionally fresh. All of the staff was very friendly and very attentive, we never went without water or bread and had opportunities to ask questions, we were treated very well (we were wearing very casual street clothes as it was quite hot in Antwerp at the time) and exactly like everyone else (they were some pretty fancy people there :D). We thoroughly enjoyed speaking with the chefs who you could tell very much loved their work. I would totally visit again!

If you read my other reviews, you know that I like to dwell and write long reviews but for The Jane I can be short and sweet: GEWELDIG MAGNIFIQUE THE BEST FOODIE EXPERIENCE EVER!! I've been to the Upper Room Bar and the actual restaurant when I was living in Belgium and this it the total experience: from the awesome atmosphere to the great service over the amazing soap (Aesop) they provide you in the bathroom. And yes, it was consistently at that level! Oh, I almost forgot, the food is TO DIE FOR, it is a real treat! A must visit for every food lover in the universe.

From the owner: Cosy Kitchen Gestart…read morein 2010, gelegen tussen de historische steden Lier en Antwerpen is Cosy Kitchen gevestigd. De zaakvoerders Melissa en Steven hebben gekozen voor een sfeervol, huiselijk en trendy interieur, waar iedereen zich direct thuis zal voelen. Chef Steven kreeg een opleiding aan de hotelschool Piva in Antwerpen. Zyn keuken is vooral Belgisch maar met een knipoog van wereldinvloeden. Het streefdoel van Cosy Kitchen is om enkel met de beste producten te werken en elk gerecht naar zijn eigen stijl te creëren. Elke smaak van elk ingrediënt komt op die manier tot uiting. Iedereen kan hier terecht voor een snelle lunch tot een uitgebreid diner, receptie of feest voor elke gelegenheid. In het gezellige en huiselijke restaurant word u ontvangen door gastvrouw Melissa, die u met raad bijstaat over de wijnkaart. In de zomer kan u buiten tafelen op het terras, binnen is er evenwel airco. Omwille van het beperkt aantal plaatsen,is het aanbevolen te reserveren op het nummer 03/336.00.86

The menu is FANTASTIC, not too big but big enough to satisfy all palates. Excellent meat and fish dishes, pasta ,veggie options even ... the one better than the other, depending on your preferences and taste. My preferred dish here is "Dorade on thick salt".... mmmhhh, ... it makes me wanna book a table again tonight! Fee & Nadia welcome you in relaxed atmosphere, friendly, inviting, elegant and cozy... the #Max! I go out to eat on a frequent basis. Few times a week. When I don't visit Papaver after 1 day I week I feel .. haha! So I come back again. There's something in their food that it's almost addictive ... personally it makes me crave for more... The best "pimped tomato juice" is made here. Try it if you like ... I don't have a sweet tooth but their "Sorbet Colonel" is yammie! All of their dishes have that special "touch" you'll find nowhere else. Trust me! In the spring/ summer they open this relaxing and reserved terrace surrounded by climbing leaves.amazing to even take the laptop and do some work outside .. I recommend you to book upfront. This place is always packed and theres a good reason for that: food revolution with a twist! You won't regret a visit! Enjoy!!

We went expecting the freshness and creativity of the spring and summer experiences, but as the…read moreowner and chef(?) has changed, we were sadly disappointed. Started sharp at 730 to find the first course explained as "Mushrooms, leek and usually this is where the fish would be but since you're vegetarian". the main course was a sugared and buttered truffle pasta (if i wanted pasta I would have gone for an italian bistro, not belgian!). To top it off it took 40 mins between each course, 1 hour to bring the dessert after the main course, and 30 mins to get the bill - which came in a handwritten note (not printed)! Last time ever...

Regular belgian/french "brasserie" style dishes at decent prices They have four or so vegetarian choices which I think is a good change from most other restaurants. The vegetarian lasagna was really good, their salad's fried falafels were a bit dry. The beer is a tad expensive though but that's a only minor complaint. Beer is always cheap in Belgium so you notice it when they're half a euro more expensive than usual. I've been here several times already over the past years and will keep coming back, sporadically.
