't Zilte Antwerp

surprisingly good lunch with plenty of Asian flavors

Full account of lunch is here: http://www.diarygrowingboy.com/2018/07/europe-2018-day-3-hanging-out-with.html

The restaurant is located on the 9th floor of the MAS museum in the heart of the harbour of Antwerp.
We have invited our local friend to join us for dinner, all 3 of us were looking forward to a memorable dining experience. The restaurant is modern, stylish and spacious, with a lovely view of the harbour. The welcome and the first half of our dinner couldn’t have been better. We have all opted for the 8 course menu. Have received plenty of different amuse bouches and nibbles. The bread selection is great. Our favourites were hazelnut burrata with leeks, bears garlic and capers and the hare with celeriac, green pepper and date malt. For whatever strange reason there was an unacceptable long break after the langoustine dish, we have waited over 30 minutes to receive the eel and then another 20 minutes the hare dish. In the meantime there was no communication from the staff towards us, that there was a delay in the kitchen….Finally we have received our food which we couldn’t fault all was delicious but the lack of proper service communication has put us off a bit.
Great cheese trolley with the highest quality of national and international selection.
Our reservation was for 7.30 pm and we have left the restaurant after midnight.
