Gezen GörenDecember 26, 20176-course diner menu, partially good, partially not.. but very friendly staff, also very nice bar.. but food can be better
Jurriaan PersynFebruary 13, 2012From The Guardian: It is well worth the 10-minute walk out of the city centre to discover Volta, a cool restaurant housed in a vast converted turbine hall. The kitchen is run by genial young chef ...
Eline De BaetsOctober 3, 2014Omg!👌Star food. Definitely worth its price. Real taste explosions. Very cosy. Quiet. Nice authentic style. Cosy cocktail bar upstairs. Nice lunch & dinner menus. A must!
Sandra GriedenDecember 3, 2016Cosy vibe, loungy cocktailbar, great cocktails, friendly service, no rush. And the food...what else to say but delectable! Go for the menu: one inspired dish after the next.
- Eline De BaetsOctober 3, 2014Try the 6 course dinner menu! Definitely worth it's price. Food orgasm. Cosy interior. Open kitchen. Nice cocktail bar upstairs. Good sommelier. Make a reservation and you can as long as you will!
Everything. It’s an old electricity transform building with a great vibe. The employees are really friendly and the food is outstanding. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone.
Wouter 🚀 DegadtOctober 6, 2018At Volta we were served a fine 6-course menu with delicate taste and refined presentation. Don't forget the cocktails at the upstairs bar!
Cathy FreitagApril 28, 2018I’m pregnant and they were informele about it. First course went great: they roasted the fish for me. Main course: not so good - the meat was only baked on the outside. So I didn’t eat the main course
Lorena SteenbekeSeptember 23, 2015The location. The staff. The food. Take the lunch or the menu and be surprised by a taste experience you won't forget.

Perlita FrankelApril 18, 2014Can recommend this restaurant. Good food and good service in trendy environment!
order the spring fizz, best cocktail imho + you can still drive afterwards hurray!
Ask Eric or Jeroen about the unique, 'wrong island ice tea'!! The best you'll ever have ;)

Ask for the bartender Eric he will make you a wonderful cocktail
