Welcome to Simone's Kitchen - Good Food Institute

“ I love the vibe of this place, it feels like a cosy living room and the food is super tasty! Simone’s Kitchen takes inspiration from seasonal produce and worldwide cuisines to create a well balanced four course menu. I loved chatting to the staff about their reason for volunteering. I had the pleasure of experiencing the Spanish-Italian and Chinese menu - both displayed great balance and thought. ”

“ The restaurant works with an itinerary menu that changes every three weeks. I had the opportunity to experience the Spanish-Italian menu and it’s absolutely delicious in every aspect. They pay attention to every detail. The atmosphere is also something that invites you back. Highly recommend! ”

“ Excellent menu, completely vegan. Delicious food with a variety of tasty flavours in spite of our prejudices. They serve a good glass of wine and also a nice beer if you like that. Top! ”

“ A lovely independent guest house and vegan restaurant. The owners and staff are so welcoming and kind. They have meals at night which are open to the public. When we stayed it was a Jamaican menu. This was all plant-based and gluten-free. We had breakfast which included tea, coffee and juice. We booked this the night before we ate. My partner had home made granola with fresh fruit and rice milk. Because I am coeliac and have to eat gluten free I was unable to have any of the breakfasts as they all included either bread, or regular oats, which I can't have. I asked if I could have "leftovers" from the Jamaican meal for breakfast and the chef was very obliging and said yes. So I had delicious Jamaican breakfast. Nice healthy and filling. The dining room is calm, light and airy. With an open kitchen. The room was on the 4th floor. There are no lifts so please don't stay here if you have mobility issues. The room was large and had a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was ensuite and had glass panels with frosting so you couldn't see in. There are also a couple of separate toilets in the hallway if you prefer more privacy. The guest house is in a quiet area and at night you don't hear anything. In the morning the road outside is busier at 8am... as you would expect in a city. The guesthouse is close to tram route no 4, which takes you in the city centre. Otherwise it is 1 mile/1.6km walk. There is a supermarket next to the tram stop which is also handy. We recommend staying here. Very relaxing and welcoming. ”

“ We were there for brunch on a Sunday. Making a reservation was easy. It wasn't that busy, but it's definitely advisable. As soon as we walked in, the place smelled wonderful. The buffet, a mix of savory and sweet items (breads and spreads, chia pudding, granola, cakes, cauliflower curry, tapioca sticks, salads, soup, and much more), was plentiful, well-seasoned, and varied. The coffee was also excellent, and the homemade kombucha is highly recommended. Our dogs were also welcome. If we're ever in the area again, we'll definitely stop by again. They also serve evening meals with a changing selection of regional cuisines. ”

“ The food is delicious and the dishes are not banal. The menu changes every three weeks so there is always a great variety of choice. I tried the Thai and Jamaican menu, both amazing! The atmosphere is cosy and welcoming. ”

“ The food is really good and full of creativity, the menu changes every three weeks. The restaurant itself is very cosy, perfect for a night with friends or family! i really enjoyed my experience there and i recomend 100% ”

“ Very Nice Hidden Gem In Antwerp! The atmosphere food and music is a great combo. The place looks very instragram able and food presentation is wonderful.
