Sapphire Bistro — Restaurant in Antwerp

We stayed at Plantn today on our vegan trip through Europe. It was awesome. We enjoyed every second of our stay. Let's start with the wait staff: they were friendly, courteous and extremely attentive.

Beforehand we got fresh rolls with olive oil. plus Belgian beer from Antwerp and the surrounding area. The recommendations of the staff helped us a lot!

As a main course we had vegan fries with sauces, a vegan corrot burger, another vegan burger with vegetables and vegan pancakes with shitaake mushrooms as a bacon substitute.

Wow, I can't remember the last time I enjoyed every bite so much. The ambiance was nice too. The chairs were comfortable, the atmosphere great and the music was 80s :).

After the restaurant visit, next time we will not only eat here, but also spend the night in the adjoining hotel. Please keep it up. You are great and...

Food is just ok. The chef tries his best and I have to admit that some of the flavours are amazing and really a surprise. However not till the extent that I was expecting.

Overall, in a scale of 10, I give this place a 6. Price paid is way too much for what you...

WildN is a new restaurant in Antwerpen that opened in October 2022 and is run by a two-star chef. If you decide to go here, be sure you're in for an incredible evening. Do reserve well in advance, as this place is about to get busy. I would bet a fortune that this place will receive a Michelin star within this year. The food is just amazing. We had 5 courses, but add to that an amuse gueule, a dessert, and another small welcoming addition from the kitchen, we ended up having 8 courses in total. Amazing home-made bread with spreads is served to make sure you don't go home hungry in spite of small dishes. Service was very attentive, yet maintained the necessary distance to make sure you are not disturbed while enjoying your dinner. It was simply a perfect...
