The story
Notti delivers a focused brunch experience inside Antwerp's WATT tower, a landmark building defined by Léon Stynen's concrete architecture. Chef Tan Chollada Phimpharua leads the kitchen, applying techniques honed at Graanmarkt 13 and Le Pristine to create dishes that bridge Belgian and Thai traditions. She works behind a mile-long chrome counter where the industrial stainless-steel decor meets the daily service. Evenings shift gears as Tan hosts guest chefs for pop-up events exploring menus from Neapolitan pizza to izakaya.
The brunch lineup features substantial plates that balance rich textures with sharp flavors. The avocado egg chili toast combines avocado cream, a poached egg, Parmesan dusting, homemade garlic chili oil, and crispy shallots on bread. Diners can request a side of smoked salmon to complement the heat of the chili oil. The kimchi grilled cheese melts stringy cheddar sourced from Van Tricht cheesemongers with caramelized onions, chili butter, and spicy garlic mayo.
The venue sits on the ground floor of the WATT tower, where raw concrete walls meet extensive chrome detailing. The industrial atmosphere is anchored by the long counter, allowing guests to observe the preparation of each dish. This brunch spot accommodates families and provides outdoor seating for visitors seeking fresh air. The layout places the counter between the kitchen and the dining area.
