Reviewed By Zhozho - Prague
This restaurant is located by a nice little park, and not far from the very center of the city. Staff were very helpful and patiently translated every single dish for us who can not read French. The food is definitely worth the price and the visit. Just we didn't know that extra plate of the bread cost that much. Still, it is a pleasant visit.

Reviewed By michel l - Leuven, Belgium
we had a perfect lunch, starting with surprising appetizers served in a very original way. All dishes are little paintings: the clam carpaccio, the succulent beef, the range of après desserts, .... Nice winelist, though very french. The setting is very original, the tables very special.

Reviewed By Bettina F - Essen, Germany
On our little city trip we came here on recommendation. We indulged in the immediate warm welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The communication between the chef and his clients went so smoothly ..he seemed already to guess which would be the perfect wine or bubbly for the individual taste and the food: just heaven. Small place, small card, just perfect!! We definitely come back!
6. Minerva

Reviewed By Georges V - Antwerp, Belgium
Dining at Minerva is not only enjoying excellent prepared food. The setting and the service make you relax and enjoy your meal.
The cuisine is very classic French-Belgian style. Everything is perfectly prepared. The service is "old school" highest level. The new generations of waiters should come and see how it should be done.
Very nice wine menu. Most wines are pricey, but you can find interesting wines at affordable prices.

Reviewed By AgataStar - Mechelen, Belgium
Absolutely delicious, savoury and juicy meat of highest quality. Super fresh salads that bring back recollection of how "real" vegetables taste like (forget here the usual out-of-the-plastic-sack experience)! Most charming and welcoming lady who runs the place, delivers the dishes and is taking care of everyone with such a grace! Top evening and top place! Highly recommendable and by far my favourite restaurant in Antwerp!

Reviewed By Michaël P - Londerzeel, Belgium
The restaurant serves Italian food, but with a culinary twist. The chef does its utmost best to upgrade the dishes, and succeeds most of the time.
Even though the food's excellent, there are some point of attention:
- If the chef knows you, you get his undivided attention. Pity for all other visitors
- The quality of the service is not that great: ingredients not mentioned, no water refill, ...
- You go to a semi-gastronomical restaurant, but you pay a full gastronomical price. We ended up paying € 100 per person, for 2 courses and 2 bottles of wine.
