Meat and Eat, Antwerp

After a day of walking about, we decided to go out for a steak dinner at this restaurant. (one of Carole’s favourites) . It is very small on the inside (10 tables) but, when warmer and sunnier, they have an outside patio.

It is family owned having started out as a butcher shop, and later turned into a restaurant and catering. The menu is small, keeping to what they know and do best. Steaks, lamb, veal and chicken. This comes with a choice of two salads, two kinds of potatoes and, 5 different sauces.

The service is great. Not knowing our wines here as well as back home, we asked the server to help us out. Three of us chose (but of course) 3 different wines. All were completely excellent choices.

After all but devouring our plates and crying that we would not and could not possibly eat another morsel, we ordered a creme brulee and said we would share. This, my friends, should be the very first thing in the morning and the very last thing at night, you put into your mouth. Absolute silk….ooooohhhh! This plate (very large portion) was completely cleaned.

I would go back in a heartbeat.

Oh, one more thing….service in Belgium is much slower paced so don’t be in a rush to order, eat or leave. No one wants to rush you. Come on over here, you will love it all.

Red Lion Hotel – Wenatchee, Wa

While in Wenatchee, we stayed at the Red Lion Hotel.  http://www.roomstays.com/hotel/25617  The staff are very friendly and the room was clean. I will never understand why, when two people are in a room, they have only 1 chair. Would it be too much trouble to add 1? Just askin”.

The first morning we went down for breakfast, we found the eggs cool, the potatoes hard, dry and over-cooked and the bacon/sausage tray almost empty. We figured we must be really late coming down and didn ‘t say anything. Then…..

A very young dad (looked to be maybe 18,) carrying a baby but no shirt, no shoes and his pants half off his butt. He walked around like he was at home and, although other guests simply stared, I went to the desk and asked them to request he get dressed. They could lose their dining licence. This is a definite health regulation being broken.

The second morning we went down (same time-differen t server) piles of HOT eggs, different and much better, I should add, hash brown potatoes cooked with a ton of cheese and HOT and the bacon/sausage tray was piled so high the top almost didn ‘t fit. That was much better.

I liked the cleanliness of the Hotel and the friendly staff. Yeah! I would stay there again.
