Camionette — Restaurant in Antwerp

My wife and I had the pleasure of dining at Camionette, and the experience was truly memorable. Tucked away in the city's buzzing heart, this charming restaurant quickly makes you feel at home with its relaxed and inviting atmosphere.

One of the most outstanding features of Camionette is its emphasis on plant-based cuisine. As we navigated the menu, the variety and creativity on display were nothing short of impressive. Each dish was not only visually appealing but also packed with flavor. It was evident that the chef had gone to great lengths to showcase the possibilities of plant-based food.

In addition to the food, Camionette also shines in its selection of natural wines. These are a little different from conventional wines, and it's fair to say they're an acquired taste. However, we found that they were well chosen and paired beautifully with our meals, highlighting subtle flavors and enriching the dining experience.

The staff at Camionette was another highlight of our evening. Friendly and knowledgeable, they made our dinner more enjoyable by explaining each dish's components and inspiration. It was a nice touch that demonstrated their commitment to providing an engaging dining experience.

The only critique we had was the overall length of the dining experience. Our dinner took around 3.5 hours, with dessert served quite late. For early diners like us, this was a bit longer than we're used to, but it's worth noting this might not be an issue for everyone.

In conclusion, Camionette is a wonderful spot for a lovely evening out. If you're open to trying something new and are not in a rush, it offers an engaging and enjoyable dining experience. We wholeheartedly...

Wonderful, fabulous flavour profiles, each dish was an explosion of amazing tastes. All locally sourced.

I don't normally take pictures of my food, but today was an exceptional one and i got pictures of most dishes (difficult when the food was so good to not just dig in).

The Restaurant itself well appointed in a fantastic courtyard setting.

We went on a Wednesday night and selected the 5 dish taster and shared an optional sixth. Never have we seen Vegan done so well especially as fine dining.

We walked in soaking from the rain and were met with bright warming smiles and every dish was explained as it arrived in detail and in English (which being English helped a lot).

Service was fantastic from everyone and to also have the kitchen and chefs on full view with the restaurant set up to serve everyone at nearly the same time the same course over the evening was fantastic.

Would we recommend, yes we would, because we would want to share this with you so that it's here and has been supported next time we pass.

Thank you for making my wife's special night just right and serving desert with...

Absolutely fantastic vegan fine dining in a nice laid back setting. The restaurant is located in a green inner courtyard together with a lot of other nice places that gives it an extra casual feel.

The 6 course menu (with an optional 7th dish) was creative and refined. It was entertaining to learn about the subtle details that went into every plate, try to taste every ingredient no matter how small, and pay close attention to how they played together.

We took most of the paired non-alcoholic drinks and can highly recommend them. Although volume wise it's a bit much together with all the food, you can share the drink. It was interesting as well to notice how some of these drinks became tastier once you had them with the actual plate they were matched with.

The terrace outside was covered by big sun screens that even on a rainy evening made it feel cost and refreshing. Inside looks well designed as well.

The whole evening spread out over 3,5 hours and we had a great time, thanks to the kind hosts as well, who clearly enjoyed sharing what they knew about everything...
