Summary: A culinary delight with natural wines.
Nage, situated in a charmingly renovated medieval mansion in Antwerp, offers an exquisite dining experience with a focus on simplicity and elegance. Chefs Koen Lenaerts and Niki Van Sant have been passionately upholding their motto of refined simplicity for over a year. Their tasting menu, which can be expanded with additional snacks or an extra dish, is complemented by a selection of superior natural wines. The chef's talent shines through in dishes like sea bass with sea buckthorn and buckwheat or Holstein tartare with egg yolk, furikake, and red onion. Daily-made fresh pasta showcases the chef's prowess, served perfectly al dente with a saffron and parsley jus. Niki's expertise in choosing excellent natural wines to pair with Koen's modern French creations adds to the allure of Nage. The chef's cuisine is occasionally punctuated with unexpected twists to enhance the authentic flavors of the ingredients. Highlights include saddle of lamb cooked in butter with wild garlic-infused sides. Note that Nage serves à la carte only at lunch and a set menu in the evening.
