The service has been spectacular even though the captain laughed when the barmaid and I thought the Genever was from 1880 lol. This place gives the impression of being hundreds of years old. There is turn of the century music playing. The art work and decorations, of which there are copious amounts, are from a time long gone. The drinks and food are fairly priced for the area. I can't begin to describe the feelings and emotions evoked sitting here and looking around and listening to the old music. Places like this just don't exist. If you are in Belgium, this is a must see.

Sint Jorishof wasn't our first choice of restaurant, but I'm glad we ended up here. It's loud, it's…read morebusy, it overwhelms the eyes in its kitsch tavern style, and it's a lot of fun. The four of us were squished into the long table in the middle, and we had some trouble deciding which Flemish specialty to choose (what was easy was the corresponding beer--that was clearly indicated on the menu underneath each dish). I went with the vol au vent and my partner with the carbonade. Our guests chose the steak. The beers were served quickly (the house draught, available in blonde and brune, was excellent--I went with the blonde), and while we did wait a bit for the food, we were given some spicy chip-balls while we waited. Our dishes (very, very filling) were each served with a cone filled with fries, and a pot of spiced mayonnaise for the table. They added a giant salad bowl in the middle, topped with a sweet white dressing. Thankfully we had a chance to walk some of this off after dinner, as the restaurant was far from where we were staying. And thankfully we didn't pass any waffle places on the way back!

The sauce was creamy, the chicken well cooked. For desert we had another local specialty, upside down cake with vanilla ice cream. It was to die for. This restaurant is a bit out of the way from Brussels on the Far East side. It's a Flemish neighborhood and French is not spoken. It's the best Belgian I have had while here and is clearly popular with the local crowd.

Delicious steaks, moules, and pommes frites served in a large neighborhood brasserie that fills up every day with local lunch patrons. The service can be a bit rushed, but no one is pushing you out the door. Just relax and enjoy the crowd. And forget your French - these people are not big fans of Wallonia, although they do like their wines.
