The entry through the small alley from Roggestraat into the lighted courtyard and the living room-like atmosphere were a wonderful start to the evening. We were given a warm welcome by the enthusiastic and exuberant talking owner. My daughter and I could appreciate that however....Here is no standard setting of tables but antique spacious tables with good chairs in a pleasant colorful environment with a good 'touch of Portugal' in Deventer. On the table is a box of fish in a traditional cans, from which we could choose one as an 'amuse' with some bread and delicious olive oil. what a nice way to treat your guests. The appetizers were delicious: one with mixed mushrooms and one with mussels. generous portions. The 'Bacalhau' as main course was in a nice way different than usual, great dish. very original combination of ingredients. Last but not least was the wine; we had a wine from the Douro region, Conceito. what a treat! We had a lovely evening.More

Had a really nice experience. Food is excellent and not too salty as in some other restaurants. The menu is inspiring and original. Food is nicely presented. Staff attentive. It is true that the owner is chatty and quite present, we liked it however. It...gives the restaurant a personal touch. However, also understand that this might not be the case for everyone. We truly enjoyed the evening at Chez Antoinette and plan to be back sometime.More
