Mechelen Is Like a Mini Bruges Without the Crowds — Here’s How to Visit Belgium's Best-kept Secret

"For dinner, the four of us made our way to the old Vismarkt (fish market), a historic square that Anne and I had scoped out earlier, where several open-air restaurants beckoned with moselen (mussels), frietjes (“French” fries — which were invented in Belgium, by the way), and waterside views. We chose Local Table and Tap, settling into a table right on the square. As we shared a toast, our glasses rattling in the delight of discovering this under-the-radar Flanders jewel, I realized we hadn’t even reached Mechelen’s many museums, parks, or famous public library, occupying a baroque monastery ruin. Next time!" - Barbara Noe Kennedy

Short review : the food was delicious. The service is not brilliant but fast and accurate. The atmosphere is average. The price per person including a drink is about 40 euros. Decent place to eat in the evening, you can try it. If to go into details: the restaurant is now called Fuego. On the main site the menu does not correspond to real life, the positions are similar, but the prices are different, which was an unpleasant surprise for me. Booking through the phone did not work, I hung on the line on different days with the hope that someone would pick up the phone at the restaurant, they did not. Anyway we came without reservation in the evening on a weekday, almost all the tables were occupied, but the place was found, the waiter knows English, quickly took the order. we ordered baked salmon and shrimp. The wait was about 20 minutes, which is quite short. The salmon was very soft and the mashed potatoes were soft in texture and not very salty, in general the taste was only the seafood itself, I got potatoes, salad, sauce and 6-7 shrimps in shell, the shrimps were well fried in garlic, the chitin was easily removed, but I don't think the salad and potatoes were a good appetizer for the shrimps, I also think the pesto sauce was not enough, considering it was called salmon in pesto sauce.Service wasn't brilliant but it was quick at least . Overall it was very tasty and hearty but I wouldn't take the same thing again, it wasn't that good, I forgot to mention the wine, we ordered 2 glasses of white, went perfectly with the seafood. All in all, a good restaurant to spend an evening, there are cons but also some serious pros. I really hope that the site will change its menu, so that there was no more such deception with prices, more napkins and smiles from the waiter, this is in general all the shortcomings, the cook is good, gets his salary deservedly. 4.1 out of 5

Cocktails are amazing. It really feels fresh and well presented. Finally a place that serves a good pina colada and sweet drink options. Service is awesome too and great terrace for a sunny day

* Anno 1724... that's how old the beautiful historic building is in which "Local Table & Tap" is located. * Came here to enjoy some very tasteful local beers today, outside on the terrace, beautiful sunny day. Like I often do when being in my home town. The location is TOP as is the beer of course! * Very friendly service 👍 * The sign on the toilet's door always makes me laugh 😁

Oct 6th 2022 Went back for the unlimited Ribs at 21:45, close to closure. Lessons learned taken from former issues, this time the very professional waitress advise me that kitchen will close and if I want one, 2 or any rack of ribs I shall tell them. I asked only one and they confirmed still having one more for me. Great to see a place learning and progressing. I ll then increase my ranking to 3 stars awaiting more and more positive experiences. 06/07/2022 Testing garlic mussels, waiting 28 min to get served, more than 50% of the mussels were empty , garlic was only on the menu because it wasn’t smelling neither tasting garlic so very disappointed. Decreasing my ranking to 2 stars. Only positive remain with the crew very empathic and professional with the customer even if I mentioned my disappointment they always react with smiles. June 2022 Open until 10 pm in theory. When asking for their bbq ribs unlimited at 9:24 pm surprisingly the kitchen is closed and they can not respect their commitment !!! Totally unprofessional 21/06/2022 Hi Brian Referring to your answer this is not correct, your employee told me that kitchen was closed so they could cook eventually 1 rack of Ribs awaiting my shower but for sure the full offer being "à volonté, unlimited" could not be respected. Reason why I said that It was not acceptable and refused. However I came back last week on thursday at the same time 21:30 and had this time the oportunity to enjoy Ribs unlimited (by the way I couldn't take an other rack as I was full, !!!!) So as everyone deserve a second chance, I ll change my ranking to 3 stars. Be careful for next times, 10 pm is a comitment especially for the hotel customers with whome you work with.

A picturesque bar and restaurant, which, as the name suggests focuses on local beer and cuisine. On a nice evening it is a lovely place to sit and enjoy the warm friendly atmosphere. The food is of good quality, the goats cheese salad was plentiful and tasty.

Good meal and very nice service. They made me something from the lunch menu at dinner, which I really appreciated. And the local beer was yummy!

We stopped here for a beer and to people watch and decided to stay for dinner. Service was generally good, and we really enjoyed the food. Prices were mid-range. It’s in a nice location by the river/canal and a great spot to sit outside on a sunny day.
