Marcel, Antwerp The decor's nice......but the staff are indifferent and the food, at any price, not just at this eye-watering expense, is absurd. It was the second evening of the not-very-bright boys' Antwerp road trip (see other review from a 'twerp resto) and our heroes, paying heavily for their previous night's excesses, were feeling delicate. Not too delicate however to... More

Nice place, good and original food, and friendly service, but too noisy and far too expensive for this type of resto.... And limited choice, only menu options on Friday night

The restaurant is relatively pricy but definately worth it, great food, nice menu and excellent service - very (too?) small menu and great wine list/ wine arrangements optional and great fit with the food

Marcel is first a great old building, typical for that part of town near the harbour, it's also a friendly and happy athmosphere and the food is delicious. The only down side is a bit the noise, may have been a noisy birthday table of 8 but even so, the high ceilings do not dampen the overall noise. Typical Belgian... More

After having exhausted all our other options to eat in the Het Eilandje part of the city, we decided to give this restaurant that's housed in a historical building (used to be a church before) a try. Unique and charming interior, very good food (typical Belgian-French cuisine; a heavy accent on fish/seafood) with a decent wine list and friendly/prompt service.... More

This is a beautiful place close to the museum, recently redone. Try to have a look at the façade of the house, it is brilliant. One hundred years ago, it was a church for English sailors. The interior is supposed to be art deco or art nouveau, I don’t know really. It looks to be selected and bought to create... More

We were a large party on a Business evening meal. This was my second vist and although sitting in the back part of the restaurant, the overall experience was fine. We were served very attentively, the waitress spoke English (as expected in Antwerp as most people's language skills are excellent). Menu's were provided in English for those whom need them.... More

We managed to book a table for 21h. Once seated we had to wait 30 minutes to have a waiter that informed us that the kitchen was going to close pretty early, better order quick! Service is somewhat spotty, mixing seasoned personnel with young, untrained rookies. This is a pity because food was fairly good (I am not writing home... More

Open for quite some time now next to the new MAS Museum, Restaurant Marcel confirms the nice experiences we enjoyed in its starting period. Visited the restaurant last Thursday and, again, was surprised by the warm and professional welcome by the staff, the attentive yet polite service and the exquisite little snacks served with the apero. We had fish as... More
