About this restaurant
Welcome to the Elfde Gebod! The Eleventh Commandment (Het Elfde Gebod) is a unique restaurant-café in the old town of Antwerp, Belgium. It has a spectacular interior decked with angels, saints, pulpits and several deliciously sacrilegious visual jokes. We serve local Belgian cuisine and a big variety of famous beers. Beers include the local Koninck, Trappiste Westmalle dubbel, St. Bernardus Abt 12 and much more. The restaurant-café is located next to the The famous Cathedral of our Lady (Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal). The ancient religious statues are in style with the Kathedral right across the street and the place has a long history. It is a must-see place when visiting Antwerp and it is mentioned in many tourist guides. It is the place everyone remembers form Antwerp. "The Eleventh Commandment" – this is to eat well, drink a lot of tasty beer and have lots of fun. So in general: YOU SHALL ENJOY!

Nous y avons très bien mangé. Savoureux tartare italien et entrecôte fondante + frites maison. Qualité et quantité parfaites. Cerise sur le gateau : l'amabilité et la serviabilité des serveurs. Bravo et merci !

La birra servita al tavolo non era fresca, praticamente era sgasata e dopo averlo fatto notare non hanno pensato a riportarla indietro come se non avessi detto nulla

The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere,...

The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere, with lots of history and interesting displays. The food was good. However, they have "live music" (a girl singing to recorded tracks). This totally ruined the experience for us, for 2 reasons: there was an added charge for the food and drink, which was not identified when the reservation was made, and the music was WAY too loud -- we were on the floor above the singer, and we could not hear ourselves talk, and had to shout to the server. We asked if the music could be turned down, and apparently the "singer" said no. If you are in the mood for a live singer, this may be a good choice for you. If you would like to converse with your dinner companions, then do not go here between 1900 and 2200.

Man scanne die Karte, um auf dem Smartphone eine relativ begrenzte Auswahl zu recht ambitionierten Preisen zu durchsuchen. Personal eher unglücklich, bei Nachbestellen, Individuelle Wünsche besser vermeiden. Die hässliche , zugegeben Deutsche Angewohnheit, Rechnungen separat zu zahlen wurde nur mit großem Widerwillen nachgekommen. Bei fast 200 € Zeche für knapp 1,5 h .... Aber das Ambiente ist schon sehr besonders, ggf. kurz auf ein Bier !

We made a reservation some days in advance and were sat in a table next to the live-music band. We asked to be seated in a quieter area, and they kindly asigned us another table, in a lovely corner. Delicious food, excellent service and unique location!
