And/or
And/or is a restaurant and wine bar open for apero and dinner in the ‘Brederode’ neighborhood in Antwerp. The restaurant is about sharing, exploring and pushing the culinary envelope. To try local wild, seasonal and market-based ingredients, to discover new flavours, to be open for change and for a chance to be surprised. Chef Karen likes to challenge and to be challenged. That is how they chose their name. And/or symbolises the exchange of new ideas and their opposite. It is the play on creativity. Karen’s goal is to make you rethink the way you eat. With a heavy accent on sustainability, she tries to promote a no/low-waste notion within the hospitality community. The interior of the restaurant is stunning. The combination of concrete, wood and neutral colors is spot-on, very trendy and chic. The bar in the middle of the room really draws the eye. Most of the food is prepared here, really cool. During summer, they have a terrace in front. PS: they also serve specials/suggestions. Prices for sharing dishes is between €11 and €29. Prices for dessert is between €11 and €16. Prices for wine by the glass are between €10 and €16. • Feta, caramelized mixed peppers, toast (this was my fav dish!)• Burnt avocado, sea fingers, vegetable mash, basil and lavas oil (delicious!!)• Radishes, cashew cream, sea salt• Bread• White wine (Domaine Frederic Lornet Côtes Du Jura)• Red wine (Domaine De Fa Fleurie)• King trumpet mushroom, kale, tarragon breadcrumbs• Butter basted celeriac over polenta, micro wasabi and mustard• Baked baby cauliflower, soubise, pearl couscous, cauliflower greens (yummyyy)• Roasted carrots with herb sauce (suggestion)• Red wine (Simcic)• Apple cake (cake of the day)• Purple sweet potato tart, chocolate, almonds
