Top 6 Mediterranean food in Turnhout, Antwerp Province, Belgium
Reviews on Mediterranean food in Turnhout, Antwerp Province, Belgium. Turnhout (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈtʏrnɦʌut]) is a Belgian municipality located in the Flemish province of Antwerp. The municipality comprises only the city of Turnhout proper. On January 1, 2015, Turnhout had a total population of 42,637. The total area is 56.06 km² which gives a population density of 835.5 inhabitants per km². The agglomeration, however, is much larger, accounting up to 81,473 inhabitants. Turnhout is known for its playing card industry, as it houses the head office of the world's largest manufacturer of playing cards, Cartamundi. Turnhout is also the capital of the administrative district with the same name. The Turnhout city council often promotes the city as "the capital of the Kempen area". This designation is entirely unofficial, since the Kempen area is far larger than the Turnhout district and does not form an administrative unit.

We stopped here for lunch as we had business around Turnhout and got hungry. Never been here but it looked nice. It's on the market in Turnhout so the location is quite nice and the restaurant is big and looks attractive.Other than the fact that it looked nice, the rest was a pretty consistent disappointment. It took a while to come take our order, but eventually someone brought menus and eventually someone came to ask what we wanted. Twenty minutes later (!) that person came back and told us that we couldn't both have salads. Apparently a delivery hadn't been done and they could make only one salad... So I switched to pizza instead. Things like that happen, but if it takes you twenty minutes to figure out you can't deliver, there's something wrong.The food took surprisingly long to arrive and meanwhile we didn't even get bread on the table. The people around us did, one of our neighbours almost twice, we had to ask for it. Again, not the end of the world, but it was a nice indication of how sloppy the service was.Unfortunately the food wasn't much better. The salmon salad is salad with large pieces of salmon draped on top - my colleague told me the salmon was completely dried out at the edges. The pizza I had was very, very basic and the crust wasn't properly baked either. Not very tasty to be honest.All in all, the mix of food and service... all of it a disappointment to be honest. I wished we had selected a different place for lunch.

We occasionally visit Turnhout for business, and decided to visit this restaurant based on Trip Advisor reviews. It's just off the main square so was easy to find. This is a wonderful friendly, family business but most importantly, cooks amazing food. The people on our table chose a mixture of Persian main courses, which were based on barbecued meat, flavoured with Persian spices. I had the Persian mixed grill (Soltani) with lamb, chicken, beef, and kofte-like meat. It was beautifully cooked with each piece of meat subtly flavoured with the spices to enhance the natural flavour of each meat. My friend had the steak cooked "rare" which was probably the best steak I've tasted in 30 years. When we complimented the family on their cooking they were thrilled and shared their family recipes with us which was a really nice touch. We're really grateful for the Trip Advisor recommendations and this makes a nice change from the other Turnhout restaurants.

We (Greet & Fee) started out in 2008 and our aim is to serve great food. It has to be seasonal, inspirational and above all delicious. . Whether you bring your own wine or choose one from our wine list we will only charge a corkage fee. As of 2015 we also

Everything about Cachet de Cire sounded so much more beguiling than the cafes on the square. Ten minutes slow strolling took us to another world. A quiet garden lush with espaliered trees, a warm welcome and a serious menu. This is accomplished cooking. A tomato tart: pastry crisp yet buttery, sweet sundried tomatoes, an earthy black olive crumble, Parmesan ice cream. Firm white fish (ling) with slivers of artichoke sitting into a whey based foamy sauce spiked with parsley root - this is clever yet simple, full of flavour. And at about â¬60 per head including 2 glasses of wine, very well priced. My only regret? Not knowing about the 3 classic comfortable bedrooms tucked in upstairs, and returning instead to the standard hotel by the station instead. Another time. Dear Mrs. A.,Thank you so much for your wonderfull review, to use a flemish expression: our cheecks are blushing (blushing with pride).It is our daily goal to give our visitors a pleasant stay both at our restaurant and/or BnB and we are very pleased to read we succeeded.We look forward to welcome you in the future not only in our restaurant but also in one of our 3 comfortable rooms, all furnished with attention to detail. Boxspring beds, TV, WiFi and ensuite bathrooms with walk-in shower.Fee

Atmosphere was very cosy and open.Food is refined and delicious. The dishes are small portions. We shared 3 starters and 3 wapas between two people and that was enough for us. Wines are really interesting (I usually don't drink wine)Love the way the menu regularly changes.Prices are very fair and service is really friendly. Not suitable for a low budget bite.Try to make a reservation or you may be disappointed.
