At a glance
De Peerdestal is a restaurant in Antwerp with a broad menu built around seafood, lobster and meat. The à la carte selection is complemented by several menu formats, giving the restaurant scope for both a full dinner and a more structured dining occasion. Seafood specialities sit alongside meats prepared from cuts matured in the restaurant’s own dry-ageing cabinets.
The dry-aged selection can include Black Aberdeen Angus, Holsteiner, Belgian Blue and Simmental beef, depending on availability. The meat is cooked in a Josper oven, a preparation that suits the restaurant’s focus on pronounced flavour and carefully handled ingredients. The menu also includes fish and other seafood choices, creating a varied offering for diners with different preferences.
The restaurant occupies a historic building in the Wijngaardstraat. Inside, red leather seating, large chandeliers and a warm, comfortable interior give the dining room a distinctive character. Jazz music forms part of the atmosphere, adding a lightly Parisian tone without turning the setting formal or stiff. The room works for an informal evening meal as well as a business dinner, with a style that appeals across generations.
De Peerdestal suits diners looking for classic restaurant surroundings, a varied choice between seafood and meat, and the option of ordering à la carte or selecting a set menu. Its own dry-ageing cabinets and Josper cooking provide a clear focus for meat lovers, while lobster and other seafood keep the menu broader than a steakhouse offering. The historic setting and comfortable seating also make it a natural choice for a relaxed dinner near Antwerp’s central sights.
Reservations are available online and by telephone. The restaurant also lists a separate wine selection and drinks menu, allowing the meal to be paired with a choice from beyond the food menu. Across the dining room, the combination of mature surroundings, warm hospitality and low-key jazz creates an evening setting that feels polished while remaining approachable.
