The story
Crafted with passion, served with love
A Name with a Story
The Butcher's Son carries a name that hints at heritage and craft — the kind of place where provenance matters, both on the plate and in the glass. Situated on Boomgaardstraat in Antwerp, this French restaurant has earned a reputation serious enough to attract the attention of Wine Spectator, which awarded it the Best of Award of Excellence in 2022. That distinction is not handed out lightly: it signals a wine programme of genuine depth and careful curation.
French Cooking, Antwerp Address
French cuisine anchors the kitchen here, with the commitment to craft that the name implies. The restaurant also offers lunch and dinner service, as well as delivery — a breadth of access that keeps the experience within reach without compromising on quality.
The Wine Dimension
What sets The Butcher's Son apart in Antwerp's dining scene is the seriousness of its cellar. Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence recognises lists that go well beyond the expected, offering range, depth, and intelligent pairing potential alongside the French cooking. For guests who treat the wine as integral to the meal rather than incidental to it, this is a meaningful signal.
