Where to eat French food in Antwerp: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Reviews on French food in Antwerp, Antwerp Province, Belgium. Lively Antwerp is a hidden gem. Its medieval streets, Renaissance monuments and vibrant nightlife tend to be overshadowed by its reputation as center of the diamond trade and as the world's fifth-largest port. Biking is a popular choice for getting around this stylish Flemish city. See thousands of Old Masters at the Royal Museum and Rubens House. Experience the bustle of life at the Grote Markt. Marvel at the art and architecture of the still unfinished Cathedral of Our Lady, started in 1351.

This is a smallish restaurant in the centre of Antwerp. The chef comes and explains what dishes they have in a very friendly and passionate way. The food they serve is very classic style of cooking, good honest food excellently executed.It's clear to see why they have held a Michelin star for so long

Het gebaar (the gesture) serve wonderfull dishes. We especially enjoyed the starter and the main course. The desert are more a work of art. We food they were a bit to sweat but you will surely enjoy it... The starter tuna and mushrooms just were out of this world and tasted like the beach (tuna) and the fall (mushrooms). This was explosive!!

The restaurant is not easy to reach (roadworks and very little parking in the neighborhood). Warm Oosterschelde lobster with asparagus and morilles, simply outstanding. Vol-au-vent with crispy sweetbreads again outstanding. The best dame Blanche in the world. Friendly and outstanding service. Quiet very classy place.

Iâve visited many Michelin starred restaurants across the world and The Jane deserves theirs. We were upstairs at the theatrical style dining. Exquisite cuisine from start to finish. Great service. We loved the theatrical style of the chefs carefully preparing each course. The flavours did presentation were awesome. My only negative comment would be that the area become very hot because of all of the cooking and heat rises from below. £££

we went to morso for a nice dinner and were welcomed really friendly by the attentive staff. Throughout the evening, there was a serene atmosphere even though the street nearby was relatively busy. We were able to watch the sunset from our seats outside and the waiters were all very likable :)

Reviewed By WimLeuven
If your restaurant is nr 1 on trip advisor you can expect some critical guests and on our visit we were certainly not convinced it deserved this titel. We were here on a saturday night with some friends. We were invited in friendly and the service itself was very good except for the timing (see later). There is only a choice in 4 or 5 course menu with optional cheese. We opted for 4 and cheese added (cheese to replace desert is also possible) so in total we still had a 5 course meal. When we refused the wine pairing (this time mainly because we had to drive home after) we had a first sign that they did not like it. We chose a bottle of our own and than experienced this : the first two courses came fluent and then we had to wait an hour before the main arrived and only after i asked why it took so long ? Meanwhile they emptied our bottle very quickly into our glasses hoping that we were to order a new one. But we had decided it in advance to keep alcohol very low that evening. SInce it was a white wine and we were waiting to finish it with our main course and the hour waiting time our wine was warm when it finaly arrived. The cheese and dessert arrived then straight after meaning we had to eat the three last courses in half an hour time. It all felt a bit strange this timing and attitude altough i never had the feeling they disliked us, it was just that feeling of not doing what they expected that sent us home with a bad taste. Concerning the food it was good but to us experienced michelin stars eaters nothing came exciting some parts on the plates were even lacking of flavour, so on that part you can have a good plate of food but nothing worth to drive 100 km like we did for it.This is one i will not return to.
2. Le Steak '17

The specialty of this restaurant is meat which is prepared on ' the Big Green Egg ', a 3000 year old clay oven.
Reviewed By MrKintheUK
We were greeted by the hugely passionate Chef Patron Julien, who explained the choice of steaks on offer, and the differences between them.We were seated adjacent to the kitchen, so it almost felt like we had been afforded the luxury of the Chefâs Table, with the theatre of preparation on show.The âBig Green Eggâ used to cook the steaks is able to char the outside of the steak while leaving it perfectly medium-rare inside, and making for a âfall off the boneâ tenderness to the Tomahawk Steak. The second, mature steak we had chosen was filled with a depth of flavour that it hard to get outside of this method of cooking.Not overly fussy, just delicious - everything was fresh, including the handmade sauces, and will be definitely return the next time we are in Antwerp.

We stayed from twelve until four in the afternoon, and our three kids have been attended to all the time. We had time to eat with our friends, while the kids eat upstairs and played all along. Service is very good, so friendly :) .A bit pricey, but worth it. We'll definitely go back!
