I visited this place about 15 years ago, and after making a reservation this time, I wondered if the quality was still the same. Upon arrival, I started with the garnaalkroket, which comes as two small pieces. It wasn’t bad, but I found it a bit overpriced for €20. I ordered a carafe of red wine (about 50 cl for €18–20). For the main course, I chose the Brochette de Pottekijker — a huge skewer made of lamb, beef, and chicken, easily around 300–350 grams. If you visit, I’d recommend not eating too much beforehand, as finishing this skewer alone is quite a challenge. The taste and seasoning were excellent. It’s served with French fries. The restaurant has Wi-Fi, but the connection isn’t very strong, and regular 4G signal doesn’t work well inside either.

Plumb the depths of some artistic geniuses at Antwerp's Museum De Reede, including both permanent and temporary exhibitions. Focusing on the works of three artworld heavyweights: Francisco Goya, Félicien Rops, and Edvard Munch, this hidden gem is Belgium's first museum dedicated to graphic art. Only opened in 2017, it rates highly among art lovers.
