Het Nieuwe Palinghuis, Antwerpen - Antwerp

Via A.

Etablissement recommandé par les guides. Nous y sommes entrés confiants. Le cadre est très classique, les produits sont très bons et frais. Il n'y a aucun réel problème jusqu'aux tarifs. 2 personnes pour un 2 services avec apéro et sons vin: 160€.
Pour ce prix là je regrette alors que le service ne soit pas meilleur (trop rapide et impersonnel), que les portions soient trop petites, que la cuisine ne soit pas pas exceptionnelle et que les présentations d'assiette ne fassent pas l'objet d'un soin particulier.
En résumé on a l'impression de manger chez grand-mère au prix d'un étoilé.

The food should be great for the price, but sadly, it is not. Don’t get me wrong; the food is decent. However, it should be much better than it is—the food here is costly, considering the small portions and the high prices. Here, they are okay with serving lackluster average meals.

We enjoyed very much the ambience in this restaurant - the vintage wood, the old photos on the walls, the bar, it all ties together and looks very promising as soon as you sit down hoping for a memorable dining experience.

And it wont disappoint you.

We ordered bisque, bouillabaisse soups, eel in green sauce and shrimp croquettes for appetizers, then grilled lobster, fish cooked in salt and fried cod for mains, finished with chocolate and tarte for dessert and coffee. Everything came at the right time and tasted absolutely magnificent. The service staff were reliable, professional, efficient, knowledgeable, polite, discrete. I would only recommend them to be warmer or more personable in their demeanor.

This restaurant offers a great dining experience: it is obvious that they value and respect greatly their high standards - but they also achieve to do so while providing a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere to their customers. Well done.

Before I go any further I'd like to say we couldn't fault this restaurant.
We had seen it on a leisurely stroll on an afternoon and looked in just as the lady owner was letting herself into the building, she gave us a big smile so we knew it was right for us.
We were going elsewhere that night but decided to book for Sunday night at 7.30 pm as they were only open for limited hours.
We arrived and were seated by the lady owner, who was really helpful in our menu choices. I ordered the Ray wings but was informed that on a Sunday this was not served as it does not stay fresh for long and emits ammonia if not served while still fresh. I knew this and should have known better.
Anyway, I was advised that the Cod with a morel sauce was very good, and I must say I was not disappointed.
My wife had the Turbot with a mustard sauce, it was cooked on the bone and again was superb.
My wife doesn't do desserts but I indulged myself and had Crepe with caramelised apples, vanilla ice cream and Flambéd in Calvados. This was probably the best dessert I have ever tasted and the waitress did not hold back on the Calvados.
The restaurant was very relaxed and a pleasure to dine in. There was no music and this contributed to the atmosphere as all the place needed was the quiet chat of satisfied customers.
The liqueur coffees were flying out and the alcohol input was very generous to say the least.
After the meal we had the pleasure of meeting our chef for the evening, the partner of the lady owner that had initially greeted us.
We complemented him and his assistant for cooking us such a lovely meal.
To me this place is everything that I want in a good quality traditional fish restaurant.
I recommend that you visit, you will not be disappointed.
