On recommendation, I went over the Dames around 8:30pm on a Sunday as other places were starting to…read moreclose their kitchens. I opted for the 3-course dinner, but there was not much info as to what it was exactly, so it would be a surprise. The idea behind this restaurant is using locally sourced ingredients and making it into artful dishes. My dinner came with 3 servings of amuse bouchées, which were all great. The presentation and execution were amazing as flavors were balanced: salt and sweet, sweet and sour, etc. It was a quiet evening, and the waitresses were very pleasant to explain what each dish contained. I didn't get a chance to try the wines, but heard they are good.

This place had me feeling pretty nervous going in. The elegant and expensive decor combined with…read moredesigner clad and perfectly coiffed clientele left me sure I'd be ordering a very expensive glass of wine, nursing it, then beating a hasty retreat ASAP. When I opened the massive leather bound wine list, I was amazed. You can get lovely glasses of sauvignon blanc or pilot noir for €4. The rest of the wines are between 5-7 by the glass, with sparkling white wine for €4 as well. Bargain! They have loads of bottles at both everyday and special occasion prices. Someone has put a lot of money into the decor here, it feels very decadent and luxurious. You can also get charcuterie plates. The staff are very warm and friendly, even to scruffy types like myself. A real find among the overpriced Den Haag bars.

On a sunny Sunday my husband and I went for a walk and stumbled upon Belgian Wines. So we thought…read morewhy not? The interieur is low key and is both a wine bar and a wine shop. You can sit and enjoy a glass or buy a bottle to go. We decided to do both and the wines didn't disappoint. There are also meat and cheese plates available - maybe next time! We spoke briefly with one of the owners about the shop. If you eat around Antwerp, a lot of the wines will look familiar. It turns out that Belgian Wines is their supplier. I am a strong believer in eating local, so I really like that Belgian wines are being promoted in the city. Plus they're delicious! The only thing holding me back from a full 5 stars is that there was a full table when we arrived of tourists and once they left, the two waitresses spent a good 5 minutes loudly making jokes and mocking them. I mean, the bar is not so big, so my husband and I were both a bit uncomfortable. If they make fun of them, are they going to make fun of us too when we leave? That won't stop me from returning, but will make me hesitant to stay too long in the shop.

From the outside you expect something old similar to many of the bars in the area. Once you pass the threshold it transforms to a beautifully new and eclectic restaurant. The bar area is nice with a focus on wine with casks and chandeliers with wine bottles in them. There is a chef's table on the 2nd floor and on the 3rd floor nicely set tables with enough space in between for privacy. Glass that looks through the floor let's you see all the way back down. The dinner was exquisite. We ordered a chef's choice menu it included red fish tartar with ahi tune, a slice of beef filet that was so tender and well prepared, and final course of fish and shrimp with risotto. Dessert was ice cream and home made marshmallows with pistachio foam. Everything was fantastic. Definitely in my top ten best meals for fine dining experience.

Outside they have normal tables and chairs but also lounge couches with heaters. The service could be better though. It's often quite slow!
