Zilte is synonymous with the taste and smell of the sea. Fish, crustaceans and shellfish therefore form the basis of our menu. This whole is perfectly complemented by terroir products from our trusted suppliers.

This translates into two menu: Pure Zilte on the one hand, and Pure Vegetarian on the other.

Zilte is synonymous with the taste and smell of the sea. Fish, crustaceans and shellfish therefore form the basis of our menu and à la carte. This whole is perfectly complemented by terroir products from our trusted suppliers.

This translates into Excitatory & Pure Zilte on the one hand, and our à la carte on the other. Excitatory Zilte is only served for lunch as a shorter version of our Pure Zilte menu with our Chef’s most preferred products.

We serve à la carte for lunch & dinner with a starter and main course. The main product is the star here. On Friday evenings and holidays, we only serve our Pure Zilte or Pure Vegetarian menu.

Zilte experience

Trends are there to be explored.

We are happy to welcome you in the entrance hall of the MAS where our reception staff will guide you to the 9th floor of the museum where the restaurant is located.

There you will be welcomed in our lounge for an aperitif with a view of the kitchenette where our kitchen team will prepare the first appetizers.

We will then show you to the table to start with the chosen menu. It takes three to four hours from aperitif to coffee to give you the full, unique experience as a guest.

Our sommelier Aaron Moeraert likes to work according to your personal preference. In this way he surprises you with wines by the glass instead of with a pre-prepared formula. Aaron likes to propose a varied selection per glass, in different styles and price ranges, starting from € 14 per glass.

We gladly invite you to our lounge after the meal to enjoy a coffee or digestif. In order to be able to receive you optimally day after day, we would like to round off at 5:00 p.m. and 12:30 a.m., respectively.
