"The faux industrial décor feels like an appropriate fit for this restaurant housed in a former warehouse, in an area once home to the city's shipyards. The kitchen forms part of the room, bringing a certain energy to proceedings, and the friendly team also help to create an enjoyable atmosphere. The short menu offers dishes with a rustic edge, where distinct flavours are nicely balanced – such as minty salsa verde with grilled lamb loin, or sharp apple cutting through a rich chocolate dessert." - Michelin Inspector

"Veg, locally caught fish and fire are the raison d’être of this urban eatery at the end of Rue Dansaert. The menu sports a cornucopia of creative combinations and amusing textures that frequently astound. Examples include monkfish underscored by a fascinating butter and sake sauce, while fish liver, steamed in spinach leaf, further highlights the savoury notes and finely chopped lovage adds a powerful final flourish. Aster is well and truly in the zeitgeist thanks to wholehearted, big-boned flavours and perfectly judged nuances." - Michelin Inspector
