This was my first volunteer experience and i really enjoyed everything during my stay. The host and chef was really nice and welcoming people, and I have my own room which was really comfortable. Also they provide every meal from the restaurant, you can use everything in the kitchen and can prepare yourself a good meal. Also during my stay there were other 3 volunteers also the kitchen was not too busy and chill so we scheduled our extra day off which i could get a chance to visit another cities. For the job it was like a regular restaurant prepare, clean, serve but more calm and chill.

Another S-ranked stay. Davide is very knowledgeable on cooking and has a fine balance of appreciating your work and not letting you take on too much of the kitchen stress. Work is varied from the school preparation, plating, welcoming guests, taking orders, plating and of course cleaning too. You'll get hands on experience in all aspects of running Simones Kitchen. I thoroughly enjoyed eating the leftover the school, the accommodation is very nice and the hosts are welcoming too. I definitely will be back, thank you for having me :).

Overall, it was a great experience. From the moment you arrive, you notice the friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Both the chef, Davide, and the manager, Alistar, have been open and welcoming. The workload is reasonable, and the best part is that you can use the kitchen's fresh, organic ingredients. The room is shared with only one other volunteer, but you'll feel right at home, as it even includes a bathroom and a comfortable, spacious bed. A big thank you to Ruth for making this possible!

The experience at the school was very good. I didn't have any previous experience working as a waiter, and you don't actually need it. The tasks were very easy: serving customers, cleaning, and doing some the school preparation. A special mention to Davide (the chef), who always helped me with the tasks and for his delicious the school. You can save a lot of money eating at the restaurant (you can cook there and take ingredients for your meals). Antwerp has good train connections to visit different cities. If you are a hard-working, tidy, and clean person, I definitely recommend this experience! :)

The school has a really special vibe — the concept actually lives in the day-to-day, and everyone there genuinely believes in it. The team is warm, funny, and welcoming, so the days feel light and easy. Menus change every month with a new cuisine, which makes prep interesting, and you get real hands-on time both in the kitchen and with customers, helping to share the concept. Hours are always respected, beginners are totally welcome, and if you're curious about cooking or baking you're encouraged to experiment on your own too.
