The story
Vintage, at Rijkerooistraat 14 in Kontich, is a modern cuisine restaurant built on seasonal produce, and Gault&Millau awarded it 15 points in 2026.
The kitchen works closely with local suppliers, so the menu follows what is available. The Vintage menu includes mackerel with green bean and wasabi, Breton blue lobster with Coeur de Boeuf tomato and marjolein, and a girolle course with warmoes and elderflower blossom. The à la carte adds pigeon from Anjou and sea bass with broad bean and spinach. Desserts include cherry with sakura and yoghurt, and a dame blanche made with Madagascar vanilla.
The restaurant occupies a farmhouse in the countryside, and the Gault&Millau panel describes its elegance as matched by a bold but controlled kitchen. Michelin lists the restaurant as Recommended for 2026. Guests can park on the private lot, and the site offers wheelchair access, outdoor seating and air conditioning. Vegetarian dishes are available on request. Fully vegan preparations cannot be guaranteed, so mention dietary needs when booking.
