The Best Steakhouses Near Mondieu, by the Record

The dry-ageing cabinet sits dead center in the dining room, not tucked away in a corner but right there, doing its slow, patient work in full view. Carcasse is a Michelin-starred meat restaurant on the Belgian coast, grown directly out of the butcher's shop next door, and the cooking follows that logic: charcoal heat, restrained sauces, vegetables that complement rather than compete. It holds a spot on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list.

The first thing you see is the aging cabinet, a floor-to-ceiling glass wall of beef that doubles as the room's art installation. This is a meat-forward restaurant opened by a celebrated artisan butcher, so the sourcing is the whole point: heritage cuts like Oedslach ribeye and Belgian red cattle share the menu with Menapii pork. Dishes are designed for sharing, which is a good excuse to work through more of the menu than you planned.
