I had the rack of lamb (Ribbetjes) with a glass of red wine for dinner, followed by the Pomme D'amour for dessert. They were all exactly what I was hoping for a late night dinner after a long day. Ambiance was also excellent. The restaurant is in the basement of a building. Once I walked down the stairs, the hallway opened into a room with a fire place with a grille, upon which sat aluminum wrapped mysteries. I was surprised and delighted to discover that they cooked my lamb on the grate, and that one of the mystery ovals was a baked potato that was served with my lamb. For dessert, a round mystery was the baked apple. Staff were professional, courteous, and efficient. I did not feel at all awkward eating solo, and had a pleasant, peaceful meal, where I could gaze at the fireplace as I ate. All was delicious, and I would definitely eat here again.

When I was visiting Belgium, one of the specialties I had heard about was horsemeat and it seemed…read morethat the restaurant that did it in Antwerp was De Peerdestal. I did a walk-in around early evening and thankfully I was able to be seated quickly. The inside is quite nice, with decor that's on the fancier side. I decided to get the horsemeat steak, which came with some vegetables and a nice sauce. The meat itself was cooked pretty well, although it was a bit tougher than regular beef that I've had. I think overall I'm glad that I tried it for the novelty aspect, although I'm not sure if it's a dish that I would get regularly. Overall it's a nice spot that is worth checking out if you want to check this off your bucket list of foods to try!

I know this is not a regular meat for most Americans but it was delicious and succulent and tender. I had it with the Madeira wine sauce and finished it completely.

If you are ever I Antwerp you must try this restaurant but make a reservation as it will be crowded with inside or outside dining.

I've been 3 or 4 times now and probably will go back given how much I like the food. The Downside: Service. Service is generally slow and once with a group of 5 we were forgotten about for an hour because one person ordered a soup and the rest of our order was apparently not put in. Further the waiter would not give the table some tap water along with our meal and drinks forcing us to buy bottled spring water (7.5euro) - on a table of 5. Inexcusable.

The beef tasted as it was beaten to make it tender. The fish had strong oily scent and taste. What was peculiar is that the plates were served with a cover, like the food needed to be covered up? In any case, I would not recommend this restaurant in particular when taken into consideration the steep prices.

It's hidden down a quiet courtyard, right in the middle of the city but completely away from the noise and bustle. Totally one of those "if you know, you know" kind of places. The atmosphere here is just magical -- rustic, romantic, and old-fashioned in the best way. Even though we were seated outside in chilly weather, it still felt cozy and inviting. You could tell this was one of those restaurants that lives and breathes its history. Now, the food -- We ordered the duck breast with red porto jus and gratin dauphinois, and the beef stew. The gratin was so good -- creamy, cheesy, and perfectly comforting. The duck, though, was a bit of a letdown -- quite tough and hard to chew, which was disappointing because the sauce was lovely. The beef stew, on the other hand, came out piping hot (just how I like it!) and was hearty and flavorful, though a tad on the sweet side for my taste. Still, it was delicious overall. Service was great -- friendly, attentive, and never hovering. Everything felt relaxed and unpretentious. Our bill came to just under $100 USD, which I thought was very reasonable for the quality, setting, and experience. If you're wandering around Antwerp and want to escape the crowds while enjoying a cozy, candlelit meal in a spot full of old-world charm, this is the place to go.
