Just on the outskirts of Mechelen (Mailnes in French), the Baron van Zon is located in a mildly…read more"distressed" old white mansion on the edge of a newish suburb. Behind the tall hedges (dripping on the soaking December night), the old house had a definite country feel, reinforced by the smell of the wood stove off the entry. A reasonable beer selection at the small bar was followed by a simple but excellent dinner of cured salmon, loin of venison with pureed root vegetables and some excellent French wines. Well worth the detour if you're in the area

I took a vacation just to try this place and I've no regret at all. It was a very nice experience overall, so I ordered a steak with fries and mayonaise. As appetizer I took a cheese croquette, these were two pieces and they were quiet big. The meals overall tasted incredibly good. The service was very kind and fast. The bill also was not even as much as I thought it would be. So I'm very happy that my friend told about this place. Thomas Vonck

Maybe because it was so fresh, or just cooked in a simple elegant manner (grilled with butter, salt, pepper). It's hard with the Dutch translations, but I think my wife had some sort of sea bream and I had a fish closely similar to cod. In either case, both were excellent. We shared a waffle for dessert too!
