Les Annees Folles — Restaurant in Antwerp

We had a good experience at this restaurant, with some truly memorable highlights. The first courses were particularly nice , beautifully presented, fresh, and delicate, with a wonderful balance of flavors and textures. The interior of the restaurant is also a delight—clean, cozy designed, making for a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The restaurant itself is really beautiful, from the anonymous entrance door -great to surprise someone that you invited- to the interior, which is very classy and elegant. Incredible experience that I...

Thanks to the team at Les Annees Folles for a wonderful evening. This was our second visit and it was as good as we remembered. We had the six course tasting menu with matching wines, and the chef made some adjustments as I don't eat meat. The food was exquisite - a voyage of flavours, textures and ingredients. One example - carpaccio of scallops, mango, curry oil, and curry oil. So delicate, so balanced. Lovely friendly staff, who provided enough information, but not too much. The chef also comes to the table to discuss food options. This is definitely a place I would strongly recommend, particularly for a...
