The story
At Fortuin in Kontich, just outside Antwerpen, the approach is straightforward: a convivial Staminée for a pint or an aperitif, and a Brasserie where nostalgic Belgian and French dishes are reinterpreted in a loose, contemporary, and distinctly personal way. The restaurant describes itself as an "all in" hospitality concept, with the Staminée, Brasserie, private dining rooms, and event spaces all under one roof.
The Brasserie is the heart of the kitchen's work. Here, familiar, comforting flavours are given a modern edge without losing their soul. The menu changes with the seasons, drawing on classic French techniques and Belgian ingredients. The restaurant's commitment to this style of cooking has earned it a Michelin recommendation, a testament to the quality and consistency of the food.
Beyond the main dining room, Fortuin is a place for many occasions. The Staminée serves as a lively meeting spot for all ages, offering small bites and drinks. A sunny terrace overlooks the Gemeenteplein, and for those planning a celebration, the private dining and event spaces provide a flexible setting. A Sunday breakfast buffet and coffee tables add to the restaurant's role as a community staple.
