Very tasty regional dishes. They offer menus also. Ideal for lunch and dinner. And very good service. I would happily recommend anyone visiting Antwerp. Around 40€ p.P including starter, main and wine.

We had a very delightful dinner, with scallops starter and main courses of steak tartare and haddock fillet. Service was excellent, when my partner's steak tartare was spicy for his liking, the restaurant offered to change without any hesitation. Will be back to try more dishes!!!

Cozy restaurant well located with a great selection of seasonal suggestions on the menu. The food was excellent and the service was perfect. We were a group of 8 people and got our food quite quickly. We will definitely go there again.

This restaurant is at the same time creative, quality-oriented, cozy and very friendly. A place to go if you are in Antwerp. Specifically, the drive and customer-orientation of the staff is amazing.

The mussels were excellent, as was the fish wrapped in pancetta. The service could not have been better or friendlier.

Great quality food. It was very delicious Belgium cuisine. The portions are generous. Reasonably priced for what you get. The service is just top notch!! We are very impressed by the thoughtfulness and attentiveness of the waiters. Make sure to book a table since it was full house on the day we went. Highly recommend!

We ordered an order of mussels “to share.” They brought two and charged us for two. It was way too much food, a lot of it wasted and seems like a strange 25 euro upsell.

Ernest Bistro (Owner)

Dear Miss or Misses Wood, Thank you for your review on the Fork portal. I believe there must have been a missunderstanding in regards to your order. I believe you took a brie salade to share as a starter and then you chose the mussels of the house. In our culture we are not used to tables ordering main dishes to share, so our waiter must have presumed that you both wanted a portion. Although we are not used to this, we don't make it a problem. We certainly didn't want to give you the impression to sell you something you didn't ask for, therefore we would like to refund you the 24 euro cost of the extra plate. We hope you enjoyed the rest of the experience and the mussels in particular. If you could send us your bank information to our e-mailadress info@ernestbistro.be , we will make the transfer as soon as possible. Kind regards, Tamara and Bjorn, Bistro Ernest

A friendly place with decent Belgian food at reasonable prices. The staff were very helpful and happy to translate the menu for me. Just try to avoid being seated on the raised area at the back of the restaurant, as if you’re the only one there there’s a risk they’ll forget about you!

Our dinner was wonderful. The food was delightful. We weren’t in a rush which was great, but if you are looking for a quick dinner this place isn’t for you. We really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere though.
