    One of the best diing experiences we had in Brussels! The food was great and the service was…read moreoutstanding. Huge shoutout to Julian! He reminded us of a combination of Neil Fak (from The Bear) and Lazlow (from What We Do in the Shadows). He was coordinating the line, seating, and gave outstanding recommendations, as well as praise, when we picked our wine. We were quoted about 45 minutes to wait, as they don't take reservations. A two-top opened up inside and Julian was concerned that it would be too hot, so he made me go inside to check first. Thankfully, it was right by the open area leading to outside, so we took it and were seated in about 20 minutes, rather than 45. The place was packed the entire time we were there; its reputation certainly precedes it. Good energy and beautifully decorated with stunning art inside. Carbonades a la Biere (beef stew; 19.45 Euros) is their speciality and was delicious! So reasonably priced for the flavor and te size of the dish! After Julian mentioned that the lamb is the best dish on the menu, there was no question that I was ordering it. Jarret d'Agneau Roti (Roasted Lamb Shank; 27.35 Euros) was so very good! Full of Rosemary and so tender! As Julian was running by, I quickly asked him: "Tiramisu or Tarte Tatin?" No hesitation, he replied, "Tarte Tatin." I wasn't sure if he actually put the order in for us or not, but then it arrived at our table and it was delicious! Pear Tarte (8.65 Euros) with a side of ice cream. Not too sweet, with lovely spices in the pears. Cash only, always a line, but totally worth it!

    You likely will see a line for dinner. Don't worry it does go pretty fast and likely faster than…read morewhat they may quote. The stew was fantastic! Tender meat bursting with flavor with some mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce. I enjoyed the lamb as well, however a bit too much rosemary for me. Get the pear dessert. The soft and sweet pear coupled with the ice cream was one of the best desserts I've had in some time.

    "Definitely not a goner"…read more.. Lately, I've become more & more charmed by everything French. It might just be an excuse to stop shaving and go all matted axilla jungle. Pardon my French ;p I'm actually quite surprised this cozy bistro doesn't have more people declaring their love for. The guys running this shop are proud of their Lyonnais heritage and rightfully so! La Gone deserves nothing but top ratings! Good French places that offer affordable lunch and take away meals are really hard to come by here in frog country. In fact, I haven't found such in A'dam yet. This place is French hospitality to the max! French and hospitality, who knew? First off, the owner started by asking What, no wine for lunch? My friend at first was a little deterred by the somewhat challenging menu (no concessions made here!) commenting: don't they have anything normal, like without intestines, liver, gizzards, or anything not fatty? What's wrong with you, you you spoiled Peruvian taste buds?! Haven't I taught you anything?! Fat is good, we love fat and we jad'ore even more foie gras!!! What I love about the French cuisine is that even something "safe", like the boeuf bourguignon, is utterly satisfying. Not quite as satisfying as my "salad" though. Think salad is just French for a heap full of buttery sinful foie gras topped by a mountain of gizzards. Never had those before, but I need more of that in my life now! And why not just throw in some extra smoked duck breast, slices of dried giant figs, walnuts & their secret homemade mustard based vinaigrette. I'm sure this salad turned my liver into a hump of adipose tissue. One thing is for sure. The French are definitely not shy of ingesting some fat. And that rilette, sweet mother of ... Perhaps €17-18,50 might seem a little exorbitant for lunch. But hey, if you want quality you have to fork over. Besides, the plate du jour comes with a side salad and the portions are really generous. Trust me, after this, your stomach won't be bothering you for a good couple of hours...Also, the takeaway meals are priced considerably more kind. If I could I would visit here every weekend for a indulgent lunch and take some sweets or a baguette home for a light dinner. You know citron gateau is French for dinner right... p.s the macarons are by far the best I've tasted so far!!!

    Very nice place. Good food and service Very authentic…read more If you're like me tired of current food trends: paper breadbaskets Whipped butters. Steaks on wooden boards. This place is for u! Highly recommend

    It was my first meal in Antwerp. I couldn't decide where I wanted to eat, and also I did not want…read moreto have huge meal as it was late afternoon and I had dinner reservation in early evening. After quick search, I ended up coming here. I think we are talking about the same guy, but thought he was patient and kind enough to me, lol! Anyhow I picked octopus, razor clam, and some oysters - they were all tasty, but the best was octopus! It was so tender and flavorful...perfect combo with hummus (and bread)! The servers were also kind and helpful while eating upstairs. Yes, the stairs might be narrow and not so easy to go up and down, but it was great lunch experience!

    Just around the corner from the Grote Market, we went to Fish a'gogo for late lunch. We wanted to…read moreeat inside and to do so had to order Each person had to order 1 drink and 1 food item. Once agreed, we were escorted past the busy kitchen up to the 2nd floor. Stairs were somewhat steep and narrow so take care. It was very cosy upstairs and fans helped circulate air so it seemed cooler than the outdoor seating. Small bathrooms were also located here behind a blue wall. We liked that they had a good variety of seafood options on the printed menu but also the specials that day. Pricing was quite reasonable compared to other places we checked out earlier. I walked downstairs to place my order and ordered the mussels, octopus, fried shrimp cake and a drink. However, after returning to our table someone came up to ask me to pay again as it seemed like the first terminal had some issue. Turned out that they ended up canceling the octopus order but that wasn't clearly explained, we inferred that's what happened with the lower tab bill. I guess it worked out since we filled up quickly on the generous bowl of mussels (nice and meaty) and used up all the bread to soak up the delicious broth. The fried shrimp cake was crisp on the outside and tasty. As others pointed out, there was at least one gruff guy (the one who took my initial order) but the servers handling the service on the 2nd floor were very nice and neatly setup everything on our tiny table. Would return for more on a future Antwerp trip.
