The Butcher's Son — Restaurant in Antwerpen

In the De Koninck city brewery, in Antwerp's Harmonie district, is this restaurant run by chef Bert Jan Michielsen and sommelier Luc Dickens. Under the same roof is the butcher De Laet & Van Haver, which supplies most of the meat; at the open kitchen you can watch it being prepared. Red meat takes centre stage, such as Simmental fillet or a ballotine of pig's trotter. The Butcher's Son holds a Michelin star.

Dickens' wine list runs to around 400 wines, with the emphasis on France, Italy and Spain. Recommended for meat lovers in Antwerp who want a good bottle to go with it.
