Nordica 31 — Restaurant in Antwerp

Nordica: Went voting? Pass by Nordica! After second time giving the chance to this place to try out, yes we voted and wanted to eat something and take a cup of coffee, terras was full, inside was missing the air, but we wanted to get the table anyway… So first - sit down please, and then stand up for to order?! 0 service. Hmm all the vibe of the place - feeling is like I’m back in primary school, unbelievable I still don’t never will understand what they’re really found in this place, 20,7K followers on Instagram, is this is a joke?! System wait to be seated and then half of menù are already sold out (14:00!) it’s not a pleasure and nobody even explain what it is on their menù, we took what was still left, bread with chicken but guess what, it’s even black bread and the chicken on the top was tasting like a chicken salad of cheap chain supermarket… Nordica: Every coffee bar has a corner where you can find sugar/etc?! - NO, nobody on the counter doesn’t ask you nothing, so on the table you expect sugar with your coffee but you don’t get nothing, because you don’t know the system?! Wow At the end bread arrived first, after 10 min water from the tap ( bottle was dirty) and finally the “warm” coffee…all one by one, is this really a service? This children - personal of this place don’t know and don’t understand nothing about hospitality! After so many years in the hospitality me and my partner did felt shame and disappointment, we really never saw something like this… Thank you...

one of my fave new coffee/lunch places in town! Great baristas and a wide choice of coffee drinks available. They recently added iced coffees and cold brews, which are fantastic

i love this place, but today something unpleasant happened. We ordered an egg and salmon sandwich, but the cashier wrote it down as egg and fennel. They approached us and asked if everything was okay, I replied no, we had ordered something else. Then the cashier came and asked us the same thing again and we said again that we had ordered another one. She replied that no, she wrote everything down correctly and in fact we ordered a fennel sandwich. She asked if it's okay for us to eat it. I asked to replace the order. To which she replied that it's impossible. Why ask then? Why go up and ask customers if everything is fine, and then prove the customers wrong? A few people definitely heard that we ordered salmon. Our last question was "Can we still order our dish?". The lady replied, "Of course, for that you have to go and stand in a long line again." That's ridiculous

Unfortunately, I don't like fennel. I didn't touch that sandwich and left hungry. Today the service is very...
