This restaurant has established a good reputation in ANtwerp. Location wise not perfect in the city centre but for gastronomics a place to discover. Last year they were finally rewarded with the first Michelin star which is well deserved. I never had the chance before and wednesday luckily we had a great evening in La Luna. The place was very calm which gave a little bit dead impression. The restaurant is nicely decorated in a modern but stylish way. We enjoyed the gastronomic menu by the chef which was a 5 course. The amuses with the apero were great and the Proseco was a good choice. As starter we had a combination of tuna with fresh crab, mousse of crab and cucumber salad. the dish was very good balanced. Followed by seabass with a nicely served Sancerre wine. Strange smell but great taste this wine. The mean dish, Pigeon combined with chicory and a red wine sauce. Superb cuisson. The dessert was a mango cake. Nice finish but no change to cheese was proposed.

Only 8 covers that evening killed a little the atmosphere.
