We enjoyed a dinner here thanks to our hotel, which had compiled a list of good restaurants nearby…read more My wife and I started with a glass of wine, then moved to the main courses. She had the Flemish stew which I enjoyed a mixed grill with pork, chicken, lamb, turkey and beef. Everything was well prepared and tasty. Her stew had a very rich flavor in the broth while my meat selections were all properly cooked: neither under nor over cooked. Service was attentive in the classic European style: relaxed, yet available when we needed them. We made a reservation, which was recommended, but there were empty tables so we may not have needed one. Still, certainty is a good thing. Prices were reasonable, and the location in the town square was most convenient. If you're looking for traditional Flemish food, this is the place.

While the adjacent restaurant was much busier, this one seemed inviting, so we settled into an outdoor table (it definitely had filled up by the time we left). In hindsight, we would have sat indoors because the temperature seemed fine in there and it was really cute and homey. We ordered beers (natch), their version of a quinoa bowl (forgot the Flemish for it!) and a "chicken burger", which actually turned out to be a fried chicken sandwich. Both dishes were excellent. The grain bowl was like what you'd find in the States but better: loaded with veggies and a killer sauce. And who knew Belgians could make such a good fried chicken!? It was well-cooked and had the same sauce as the bowl, which was tasty. Of course it came with frites, but at that point we had had so many fries that we could barely differentiate. Service was extremely friendly and efficient. We ended up having more of an "American" meal here, but that was fine by us since we had OD'ed on the native stuff. Four happy stars, and we'd recommend this Zeppos to anyone wanting a good lunch in Antwerp.

My first meal in Antwerp was probably my favorite in all of Belgium…read more Kapitein Zeppos is kind of off the beaten path, but you'll know when you get there. They have a giant outdoor seating area across from the restaurant. It was a little too hot for me, so I decided to sit inside. I ordered a beer (a Jack's Precious IPA that really hit the spot), and then ordered some food. I went with the vol au vent, and holy crap, it was amazing. If you're not familiar with the dish, it's a puff pastry drowning in mushroom gravy with shredded chicken and ever-so-tiny meatballs. And if that's not enough, it came with a generous side of fries (with mayonnaise for dipping, of course). Rich doesn't even begin to describe it. The textures, the flavors, everything was perfect. Probably the heartiest thing I've ever eaten. Stop on by!

Apparently they are supplied by patrons. There seemed to be a good mix of locals and tourists. The menu is straightforward enough. I ordered mussels in a white wine sauce and it was quite the feast. I had the dark beer which is my favorite but they have a really good list. Ed tried the house 'red' beer that turned out to be very fruity, but with a hearty alcohol content. He ordered one thing, veal, but what came out seemed ab entirely different dish, chicken and pork. He enjoyed it so it was OK. He ordered potato croquettes with it and they were good. I thought I might get the ubiquitous fries (frites) but that didn't happen. They did give me a container of mayonnaise which one would assume is for fries, but when I inquired the waiter said it was for the mussels (?!) I guess I had to take his word for it. The portions were good and we left satisfied even with the glitches.

I ordered: - Shrimp croquette - there's small shrimps in this. Not small pieces of shrimp, but small shrimps. A bit of a surprise for me. Was OK tasting. - Fries - used to dip in my stew. I will admit maybe this is a ME thing, but the fries I've had here in general have not been stellar. Too potato-y and not crispy enough. - Beef stew - supposed to be the highlight. Flavors were OK, but the meat was just kind of dry and not very tender. After a while the sauce was a bit salty. The portion was good though. Overall OK, just the beef stew wasn't that great for me. It seems I should have ordered the mussels though, as so many other tables ordered it. Next time I will try that instead!

I'm not beer drinker but I did stop by to try their beef stew also known as Vlaams Stoofvlees. Wheeeeeew baby. Their gravy sauce for the stew is rich and thick. You literally can pick out the herbs when you eat. There's nothing fake about this place. That meal honestly can be shared amongst two people. It was an interesting twist for me to eat a chicory salad. Never have I ever. Yet, it was earthy and tasty. Great health benefits too. One thing you'll notice in Belgium is there Mayo and ketchup is real not processed. You can literally taste the difference. If you're ever in Antwerp for even a couple of hours, make it your business to stop by and treat yourself to good food and beer.
