Arrikiiati
Arrikiiati is a Sicilian-inspired neobistrot in the heart of Antwerp. It offers a true bistronomic experience, created and led by a passionate duo: Giorgio, a Sicilian chef who plays between traditional Sicilian flavors and his own creative interpretations, and Delphine, a French sommelier and devoted wine enthusiast, curating an ever-evolving selection of organic and natural wines from France and Italy. Together, they serve a unique blind, Italian-inspired fine-dining menu. A culinary journey where Sicilian authenticity meets modern creativity, guided by seasonality and local ingredients. For lunch, you can choose between a 3-, 4- or 5-course menu, while dinner is served as a fixed 5-course experience. Both Giorgio and Delphine are classically trained in high gastronomy and have gained experience around the world, working with renowned chefs and restaurants such as Michel Bras, NOMA, Moreno Cedroni, and Dôme. Though rooted in Sicily, Antwerp is now their home, where they’ve created their own tiny culinary universe. You might know them from @cannolo_antwerp and @tratt.antwerp , but Arrikiiati is by far their most intimate project. Housed in a small, cozy home, the restaurant immediately feels personal and welcoming. The interior and overall vibe are warm, unique, and effortlessly charming. Prices for the 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-course lunch menu are €34, €41, €50 and €81. Prices for the matching glasses of wine are between €8 and €11 per glass. Price for the 5-course dinner menu is €81. Price for the drinks pairing suggestion is €42 per person. Wines by the glass are between €8,5 and €13,5.
