I stopped by De Arme Duivel for dinner recently and tried their Stoofvlees (Flemish Stew). Similar…read moreto other places, the stew had nice chunks of beef and was flavourful and thick/hearty. What stood out the most was the Chicory salad as it was refreshing and made it less greasy (as it was slightly bitter) throughout the meal. Overall, I'd give it 8.5/10

Where better can you be in the summer than on big terrace with the sun on your face?…read more This is the kind of place that makes me quiet the office earlier during the summer and just let's me continue working here. Take my laptop, have a soda or a beer and enjoy the sunshine and the sundown while you enjoy the great service which is offered by Nathalie and Jessica. The terrace do is there but advantage on the busy street of the Bolivarplaats. Inside there isn't a lot of room to sit at a table and it can get quiet noisy there too. All by all a great place to spend your early summer evenings and have an "Aperitief" :-)

I've been 3 or 4 times now and probably will go back given how much I like the food. The Downside: Service. Service is generally slow and once with a group of 5 we were forgotten about for an hour because one person ordered a soup and the rest of our order was apparently not put in. Further the waiter would not give the table some tap water along with our meal and drinks forcing us to buy bottled spring water (7.5euro) - on a table of 5. Inexcusable.

Situated in the oldest alley of Antwerp -- the beautiful Vlaeykensgang near the Cathedral -- this…read morecharming little bistro feels like you've stepped straight into another century. It's hidden down a quiet courtyard, right in the middle of the city but completely away from the noise and bustle. Totally one of those "if you know, you know" kind of places. The atmosphere here is just magical -- rustic, romantic, and old-fashioned in the best way. Even though we were seated outside in chilly weather, it still felt cozy and inviting. You could tell this was one of those restaurants that lives and breathes its history. Now, the food -- We ordered the duck breast with red porto jus and gratin dauphinois, and the beef stew. The gratin was so good -- creamy, cheesy, and perfectly comforting. The duck, though, was a bit of a letdown -- quite tough and hard to chew, which was disappointing because the sauce was lovely. The beef stew, on the other hand, came out piping hot (just how I like it!) and was hearty and flavorful, though a tad on the sweet side for my taste. Still, it was delicious overall. Service was great -- friendly, attentive, and never hovering. Everything felt relaxed and unpretentious. Our bill came to just under $100 USD, which I thought was very reasonable for the quality, setting, and experience. If you're wandering around Antwerp and want to escape the crowds while enjoying a cozy, candlelit meal in a spot full of old-world charm, this is the place to go.

The beef tasted as it was beaten to make it tender. The fish had strong oily scent and taste. What was peculiar is that the plates were served with a cover, like the food needed to be covered up? In any case, I would not recommend this restaurant in particular when taken into consideration the steep prices.
