Experience
Unique thanks to the interior and surroundings
Restaurant Zilte has obtained a unique design with its renovation in April 2020. Wooden interior elements in a well-considered balance with earthy, soothing tones enhance the characterful setting.
With this we follow the facets that our natural environment has to offer. With a location on the top floor of the MAS – Museum on the “Eilandje” (Island) of Antwerp, you will experience the marine setting of our city and the influence of the Scheldt like no other.
Chef Viki Geunes
Viki Geunes, the chef of three-star restaurant Zilte, is no ordinary chef. As a self-taught man with an exceptionally developed tasting ability, he restlessly explores the limits of the culinary creatable to provide you with a unique culinary experience.
Passionate about his profession, almost obsessively looking for perfection in all his details, he conjures up a creative, generous, highly contemporary and refined kitchen on the plate without compromise. Far outside the comfort zone.
“De appreciatie die ik van mijn klanten krijg is mijn bron van energie. Als je – bij wijze van spreken – applaus krijgt van de klanten, dan geeft je dat enorm veel voldoening. Het maakt je werk ook lichter.”
– Viki Geunes
“The appreciation I get from my guests is my source of energy. If you receive – in a manner of speaking – applause from the customers, it gives you enormous satisfaction. It also makes your work lighter”.
– Viki Geunes
