Ayt Ems and family invite you to sample the distinctive ambiance of their terraced house in Antwerp’s hip Zuid district. Before admiring one of the Quartier Sud suites, sip a knockout cocktail and nibble an appetiser or two in the Bar Bleu. Next make your way into the snug dining area whose buzzy vibe and baroque curves provide the perfect backdrop to the talented chef’s subtle culinary score which rolls out Ottoman and French influences. Home-made spice blends and delicacies such as Baharat and chermoula enhance and underscore the food. The halibut is rubbed in spices (cumin and curcuma) and cooked in a fermented lime mousse that imparts refreshing acidity. The little buns that the lady of the house prepares in front of you are simply divine!
