The story
The Butcher's Son is a French brasserie at Boomgaardstraat 1 in Antwerp, awarded one Michelin Star in 2026 for high quality cooking.
Bert Jan Michielsen cooks in an open kitchen, so guests can watch him at work. Gault&Millau named him Craftsman of the Year in an earlier edition and rates the restaurant 14.5 in 2026. The French cooking leans on meats and grills, served at lunch and dinner.
The brasserie sits on the site of De Koninck - Antwerp City Brewery. Its website points to a brewery visit and a page on the crafts behind the restaurant. Air conditioning and parking are listed among the amenities.
