 Great meat dishes opposite the abattoir |
Lange Lobroekstraat 51 Antwerp 2060 Belgium +32 3 236 7986 http://www.lammeke.be/ |
This is considered to be one of the best meat restaurants in Antwerp, and it's no coincidence that it's situated in front of the abattoir just outside the city centre. 't Lammeke (The Little Lamb) has also been mentioned in the famous Michelin Guide. It is a pleasant place, and business guests as well as workers from the nearby dockyards are at ease here. The meat is ordered by weight. You choose the cut of meat before they cook it and you can decide in advance if the size and quality is to your liking. Besides many meat dishes, there are some seasonal suggestions and two menus that change every month. For those who are not so fond of meat, there are delicious fish dishes. The varied wine card (120 different types) offers enough choice to complement every dish perfectly. Review © 2007, Wcities |
