Album — Restaurant in Antwerp

Creative and great kitchen but portion sizes WAY TOO SMALL and the service is not good. We feel it is very overpriced, so that we can not recommend it.

We went on a Saturday evening for the 5 course menu. One was normal and one we requested in vegetarian. In total we payed 180€ for 2 menus, water and two non-alcoholic aperitifs. We were really looking forward to a great evening there but we left very hungry and disappointed.

Positive: The food was really good. The flavors were creative and the overall craftsmanship was on point Relaxed atmosphere

Negative: The food portions are just WAY TOO SMALL! The most we ate there was the bread that was served at the side, just to fill our stomachs at least a little bit. After our 180€ diner there we went to the city and ate some fries. This was a really big disappointment for us.

For the vegetarian menu they just left the fish/meat in every course away (which made the portions even smaller). Still, I had to pay the full 72€ for this menu. That’s is very unreasonable and unfair.

The service is just not good and kind of unfriendly. No one took our coats, we had chipped plates, dirty cutlery, no thank you for a generous tip, no one said good bye when we...

Shocking experience last night at Album. Went in with high hopes but left bitterly disappointed.

Courses came out in drips and drabs over the course of 4 hours! No apology from staff for terrible service.

They say that they can alter the dishes for vegetarians but in reality they just leave out the meat and you still pay the same. The dishes don't work without the meat/fish. We queried the price and they took off €10 which was something but it felt very unpleasant to have to ask and a real try on. We left full of bread and water. Portions of the actual food were tiny.

I wouldn't advise coming here if you don't eat meat/ fish or if you expect your meal to be served within a reasonable amount of time.

Bill was €200. We left...

I had a fabulous meal! I researched top restaurants in Antwerp and Album kept popping up, so I made a reservation.

I was so happy with my meal. They have bar seating, which was perfect for me as a solo diner. I had the 5-course dinner menu and it was absolutely delicious. The fresh house sourdough was so amazing and a great precursor to the meal. I also opted for the wine paring which was perfect. Waitstaff was so friendly and warm. Portions were great and all the pairings were superb. They used the charcoal grill for may dishes and the flavors were so good. They really care about the food they put out and their guests’ impressions.

I’m so glad I found this gem of a restaurant. I’ll be sending my friends if they’re...
