GLASS
📍Vlaamsekaai 40, 2000 Antwerpen

Glass Antwerp a bistro & winebar at the South of my favourite city. The mastermind behind this restaurant is chef Wouter Van Tichelen. Even more spectacular: he does everything alone in the kitchen. Glass is rewarded with a michelin star and they absolutely deserve it. This experience was divine.

We chose the full option menu, because we wanted to try it all. We started with a amuse bouche: a chicory soup with squid and croutons with squid ink. Then we started with the menu.

@woutervantichelen, the master chef, and @jurgen_lijcops_photography, the master sommelier, make a formidable duo in the culinary world. Together, they have opened the charming wine bistro @glass_antwerp in the trendy Zuid neighborhood.

For those who enjoy a pre-dinner drink or a post-dinner nightcap, a visit to the neighboring @barburbure is an absolute must! Glass opens at 6 pm and welcomes walk-in guests, so not all tables are available for booking through Resengo. This is because Wouter and Jurgen want to keep some tables open for those who suddenly crave a delicious meal and a glass of wine after visiting the popular cocktail bar Bar Burbure.

The restaurant may be small, but it created a wonderfully cozy, peaceful atmosphere, decorated with shades of red.
