iTaste est le meilleur guide des restaurants pour Kasterlee

An amazing restaurant in a great setting. This restaurant has been rated as best top restaurant summer terrace by Gault Millau in Belgium. And indeed we can confirm the atmosphere is just great. We had the chance to visit this restaurant during the Diningcity "restaurantweek" at a reduced menu price. The tasting menu was just great! Very nice starter, Carpaccio of Langoestines. All dishes were of top quality. Service very professional. For sure a place to come back and to watch in the future....

Be_Gusto Event was absolutely great. Our visit during the restaurantweek in December with the special menu and great atmosphere. We started with a tartare of langoestines and flan of lobster. The cabillaud with girolles and smoked foie gras was absolutely delicious. As a main course the pheasant with chestnut, jerusalem artichokes and celeriac. All this followed by a delicious chocolate parfait with nougat ice cream. Also the wine arrangement was very good...

Nice decoration, ideal for a romantic dinner for 2. Very nice cuisine made by Johan, can be surprising. Julie leads the restaurant service very well, good wine advise....

Very young chef with big potential. Located in the countryside about 20 minutes east from Antwerp. the interior was nice but for me too classic and not reflecting the young owners. We took the fix lenu and the starter was excellent with lobster, eel and celeriac. A bit truffeloil but not too much. The currysoup with broccoli was absolutely too spicy and killed all wine flavours. A bit too much in a gastronomic menu is my opinion as the taste stayed for hours. As a main course the veal was excellent again with correct cuisson. Also the citrus dessert was taste wise good. It only took far too long and we could only leave at 11.30PM. e had an excellent white portugese wine, donna Maria, amantis...

We prefer to choose one good bottle of wine instead of the wine selection that goes with the menu....

Timing, very young team in service. I missed an experience maitre....

Very stylish interior and excellent welcome. The appetizer was served with about 8 excellent small amuses. All with very intense taste and special compositions. The starter was well balanced and light. Halibut with textures of watercress and topinambour. The main course personally i experienced as less special and tasty. The duck with pumpkin and speltwheat risotto was nicely flavoured with foie gras but it was not my favourite. The dessert on the other hand was excellent with excellent combinations of tangerine, cocos parfait, basilicum and sesam seads. A perfect closing with the coffee with excellent home made cookies and chocolates. This restaurant will move next year April from a small city to a new trendy area in Antwerp. The restaurant will re-open on the top floor of the new built Antwerp museum. For sure the 2 michelin stars will be moved also to this gastronomic city!...

A little too much of textures and mousses....

The restaurant got very good feed back from various friends so it was about the time to finally visit them. We were a little unlucky that more than halve of the restaurant was used for a family dinner. Service wise off course this was noticed. We were nicely welcomed and the cold starter was excellent, agnus beef carpaccio with langoestines tartare, sorbet of mustard and quail egg. The sole with hot lettuce and champagne sabayon was also surprising and very tasty. Main course of beef tournedos, with potato gratin was a little to basic. Instead of dessert we were lucky having chosen the cheese chariot! Superb....

Service was slow, little lack of professionalism. We could only leave after midnight due to a slow service. Being informed this is not typical for them....

very special location - great food - also good to visit with many people! This restaurant is also housed in the authentic 15th century cellars that initially were used by merchants as a storage place during the two major annual fairs of Antwerp. The medieval set-up of this restaurant is unique in Antwerp and is reproduced in a life-like way. In the restaurant of Breughellian days, you eat with a spoon and your hands. Obviously, you drink from a mug. Wine, beer and water are served out of jugs. The dishes will be prepared from a medieval recipe and the menu will take you back to the days of yore. The romantic candlelight goes with the soft renaissance dance music in the background, the same period from which the building dates. The costumes of the waiters and the decoration seem to have been taken directly from a painting of Breughel....

Nice atmosphere Professional maitre We enjoyed a good wine (New Zealand) Good selection of fine appetizers...

We had the fish menu @ 80 EUR pp, which was in the end, a bit overpiced. Grilled oysters with leek: very nice dish but 4 large oysters was a bit too much, 2 would have suited as well Langoustines and roasted pig: nice but too much Sorbet of champagne: very tasty Main dish lobster and riz de veau, pasta: way too uch and too heavy, the lobster was overcooked (a shame ...) Creme brulee was very nice as dessert Mignardises: ok nothing special...
