A Perfect New year's eve

A cozy little restaurant with an original concept. It's a cuisine school with students coming from all over the world. The food and wine were great as well as the price.

Pros: Great atmosfere , Great food, Nice staff

Sunday brunch is an all-you-can-eat buffet. Everything is homemade, from the granola to the vegan frittata. So delicious! So many greens and fresh veg, Simone herself was there to point out the amazing vegan sauces and dressings. There were dairy options but mostly vegan. Apparently the weekly menu is all vegan. If it’s anything like the fantastic offerings today, you will be so happy you came!

Quite an experience

We didn't know what to expect exactly and were surprised when we had to ring the bell upon arrival. It seems as if you walk into someone's living room that was turned into a restaurant. We had a table in the garden, which is filled with plants. They have some large fig trees and grapes for own harvesting too. There was no menu to choose from: for drinks they brought their whole range to the table to choose from as they were changing their drinks, and for food they had 1 starter, 1 main dish and 1 dessert, all vegan and for the whole week it would be in the Italian theme they said. We tried all 3 dishes. The starter was a nice surprise: tomato-"mozzarella" (miso-marinated tofu) with a really tasteful basil-garlic-olive oil dressing and some herbs and flowers that I never had before as a garnish. The main was homemade gnocchi with beetroot, lots of greens, grilled pumpkin and carrot. Simple, but good. The dessert was a pear-chocolate cake with still a lot of bite in the pear and with a decent amount of salt inside. I actually liked it a lot. We paid €100 for 3 persons, drinks included and spent 2 hours there in total, which is both quite ok in my opinion. The staff was really friendly as well. Note that they are English-speaking: my grandma couldn't understand much, so I translated for her and the staff patiently waited in between the explanations and was happy to even give additional information about the concept and their food. It was quite an experience and I would be happy to return!

Not all vegan

The place is very nice and very friendly staff, the brunch costs around 25 euros all you can eat (which is not expensive for Belgium I have to say) but they advertise themselves as Vegans and this is not true at all. They had butter and egg dishes, even a salad with fish. So if you are looking for a truly plant-based place, unfortunately, it's not there.

Pros: Good Quality and Fresh food, Nice and cozy garden, Friendly staff

Cons: Not Vegan, Very informal treat (which might be good for some)

Not all vegan

Marketed as vegan. Vegan sign on the door. Brunch had several animal products including eggs and non-vegan cheeses.

Simone's Kitchen

One of the better vegan restaurants in Belgium. I came here with a friend without a reservation, but the staff was creative enough to let us eat even tho they were fully booked. Every one of the staff members was super friendly and just fun to talk to.
The restaurant itself is amazing. The lights, little pieces of art and the big paintings will make sure you're not bored for a second while you're waiting for your food.
It was sometimes hard to understand my company, but that could have been because the restaurant was completely full.
There were a lot of alcohol-free options to drink, which is always fun for non drinkers.
The food itself was a little less than expected. It wasn't bad, but I just expected more from it. The loads of vegetables in combination with couscous were a little too easy in my opinion.
This minor point won't stop me from going again to this amazing place.

Pros: excellent service, good alcohol-free alternatives, wonderful restaurant

Cons: expected more of the food

Gemütlich, lecker, teuer, familiär.

Ein originelles Wohnzimmer-Restaurant in einem original Antwerpener Wohnhaus. Etwas abseits gelegen und 'getarnt' hinter einer ganz normalen Haustüre. Keine kulinarischen Offenbarungen, obwohl vielleicht durchaus aufwendig und auch so zelebriert, aber schon gehobene Küche. Ebenfalls gehoben dann auch der Preis...

Pros: Gerichte können variiert werden. Raucherterrasse.

Cons: Sehr teuer und nur ein oder zwei Gerichte.

Lovely atmosphere, open kitchen and very nice to sit.
They only have one menu per day, but this was a brilliant japanese inspired one when we were there.
I definitely will go there again!

Real nourishing food

If you love real food, I would highly recommend to eat at Simone's Kitchen.
I already ate a lot of meals made by Simone, always delicious and balanced.
The restaurant is cosy and has a warm and personal atmosphere, and serves -in my opinion- the best and most nourishing food I ever ate.

Pros: Quality and taste of the food, Made with love, Generous portions

Delicious and healthy meals

Simone's dishes are so tasty and nutricious! If you're looking for decent home made food, you've found the right place. You can find the week menu on their Facebook or website. Whatever she's cooking, you will love it.

Pros: Amazing food, amazing staff , Cosy and homely atmosphere

Cons: I can't afford it to eat there every day 😁
