Second Pitaya location opens at Melkmarkt | Antwerp
AntwerpToday, a second branch of the Thai street food chain Pitaya opens in Antwerp on the Melkmarkt. In October last year, Pitaya opened its first restaurant in the Antwerp Tower. The first 100 visitors receive a free dish.
“A restaurant in Antwerp was a matter of course for us”, says business manager Olivier Goetschalckx. “The visitors to the Antwerp Tower make it clear that Antwerp residents are only too happy to put their taste buds to the test. at images we at Pitaya ‘citizens of the world’, people who are open to a new experience and discovering other cuisines. The second location on the Melkmarkt is the perfect location in the underground center where locals, students and tourists come together.”
The dishes focus on the original Thai street food. The wok dishes are prepared à la minute in the open kitchen. The menu includes green, red and yellow curry with rice, pad thai (fried rice noodles with chicken, scampi tofu), sie yai (beef and udon noodles) or nua kao (beef and shrimp with carrots and rice).
Meanwhile, the Pitaya restaurants can be found all over Europe. Belgium has eight branches in Brussels, Liège, Namur, Ghent, Nivelles and Antwerp. The Thai restaurant will expand in the Benelux later this year.
