Old Town Steakhouse:
Here is our favorite steakhouse in Antwerp's Old Town District. Great places for those evenings when you are walking in the old town… strolling through the tiny streets of Antwerp and wondering about diner. Sometimes it’s difficult to choose between the thousands of restaurants that exist in Antwerp. But once you narrow it down and decide it's got to be a steak - it gets a bit easier.
De Zevende Hemel - NOW CLOSED was our favorite steak restaurant in the old town. Unfortunately the long time owner sold it and the new owners serve British and Indian food and beer .
The new modern / Indian / British decor clashes with the old Belgian house and wooden beams and classic country/ farm style. This place used to be very very cozy and now it's less than mediocre and overpriced. We would not be surprised if it already went out of business since it's been a couple of months already that we discovered that a a juicy tender loin has been replaced by a dry burger and the Wesmalle Trippel by a foreign brew. Or maybe we are just bitter that we lost our cozy stakhouse where every visit was a successful evening with great meat accompanied by great sauces and extremely friendly service.
For great burgers try the Lunch box or Kelly's Pub.
South District Steakhouse:
Restaurant Mich
Mich is a stylish restaurant in the south district specialized in noble meat. On the menu you will find beef, lamb, horse, veal…
The service is good and the staff is friendly. In theory it’s fancy with white walls and a wooden floor. In the background you will hear jazz and lounge music. Even thou fish lovers will find something - the menu is mostly all about meat.
Pepper steak, filet pur, cote a l’os six rib, ongle – top-quality meat dishes and other special suggestions while you enjoy your glass of exquisite wine. Mich might be the only restaurant in the world that serves bone marrow.
I recommend the Irish six rib, the meat from the Irish cow is more tender and filled with flavor then any other. Whatever you choose your dish will be accompanied by a fresh salad and fresh fries. Budget 30€ per person.
Waalsekaai 10 Antwerp 03 248 45 40
Out of Town Steakhouse:
Den Abattoir
One of the best steakhouse in town! Or a bit out of town. From all the steakhouses - this is our favorite.
You can order by size - there is no maximum :-) Situated in the middle of the Boucher’s area, this is not the easiest area to visit. You’ll have the drive a little for it, but the reward is a big tender or sir loin cooked exactly the way you want it. There is a also a Nice Terrace.
Den Abattoir is on one of the 2 streets filled with bars and restaurants - the rest of the area is mostly industrial.
Budget: EUR 35
Closing days: Saturday & Sunday noon, Monday
Cuisine: Belgian, French
District: Butcher's Area / Out of town (tram 3 is feasible) Lange Lobroekstraat 65 2060 ANTWERPEN /03. 271.08.71
