Was there with my black friend who I know from my university time in Leuven…read more Noticed that staff disregarded my friend and even were offensive at time. The food was mediocre. 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. As we left hungry, we visited a nearby snackbar with the best fries I have eaten in long time. Check it out: reuzegom.com

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.

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.
