One of my Belgian colleagues told me that his friend's Italian wife is "very critical" and loves…read morethis place. It was packed with locals on a weeknight. Most people got pizza. My wife got eggplant parm, and I rolled the dice on "special lasagna", which ended up being "lasagna 3 ways" - alfredo, tomato, and salmon/cream. All were excellent. The nice Sicilian girls who served us gave our ingrate children 2 different desserts.

With lunch entrees at eighteen euro and older customers dressed up pretty nice, it's safe to assume…read moreAntigoon is one of the fancier spots in Antwerp. Quiet and stylish, they specialize in pasta and Dutch tapas. Because I hate pasta, and wanted an introduction to all things Belgian, I had fun with my tapas plates. My favorite was by far the sardines. Salty, oily goodness. I sat there shoveling the silvery morsels with the toothpicks given as utensils. The dry salami was also exceptional, and the prosciutto was alright, with just a bit too much rubbery fat on the cut. I totally loved the manchego cheese and bread. Like many places in the region, beverages will run you a bit much. 200 ml pop for about 2,20 can add up if you're super thirsty. You also have a considerable amount of local libations at your disposal. Great place for a snack.

It is obviously good or else i wouldn't have returned sooo many times but it surely deserves a review. This little moroccan gem is hidden in Mechelen, it serve delicious tajines and other delicacies. I have however only tried the tajine and mixed grilled plate due to my gluten intolerance. Every time, every tajine is as delicious as the previous one. I have tried the Lamb and veggies, Lamb and prunes, Chicken and veggies, Chicken and olives and the Seafood tajine. ALLL delicious and strongly recommended .

It's worth waiting for. Seafood came with a nice broth. Big flavors on the chicken and veggies done perfect. Will go back again and again. House red wine was good with meal. Smoke from outside was coming in but the smells inside helped kill it. Go, order something and relax as it cooks. Then enjoy. Chat with the table next to you. Make friends.

Only have Jupiler in bottles (!!!) as beer, which is really surprising in Belgium. A horse steak really diserves a better beer with it!!! Overall you are better of in an other horse steak house in Vilvoorde, unless you compare the prize.

Had a lovely Sunday evening dinner at Plattesteen…read more The neighborhood is relaxed and charming. Every time I've been by this patio in the summer with good weather, the street vibe is perfect for enjoying a meal or drink and people watching. We ordered the meatballs (comes with fries!) and chicken Parmesan pasta. I was starving and just needed to eat, but next time I'd come in an order a glass of wine and relax. It's amazing to think this restaurant has been open since 1936! Our server was nice - but very brief since it was quite busy. In the end, we couldn't wait longer to pay, so we met him at the bar and paid there.

One final dish of Carbonade Flamandes (Flemish Stew) with fries will complete my trip. Top it off with a Chimay Blue and it was an excellent dinner. Note that after I was seated (a single) they turned away at least a dozen people because they became extremely busy, I was very fortunate. My service was good, the stew was great. Would definitely visit again.
