The restaurant is in the middle of town within a few blocks to the main town square. The menu has pictures of the nunnery attire, maybe how they brewed their own beer? They only had it in Dutch, no English menu. Food: 3/5. Bland food, which is not uncommon for Flemish cuisine, but meat was also quite tough. We tried the 2 most popular dishes, Brochette Oud Clooster, and Rundsstoverij met Westmalle Dubbel, and were not impressed. Both bland. The brochette was supposed to be medium rare but came out well done. Dry and tough. The dipping sauce has a hint of curry but wasn't enough to carry the whole dish. The stew has a yummy base, I could pick out the beer flavors (Belgians truly have the best beers in the world). Meat pieces were tough, which is a shame given this is a stew. They should have use a fattier cut of beef like chuck. Meme Gusta has a similar but much more flavorful Flemish stew. The no-bake cheese cake was light and refreshing. Good for 1 person, small to share between 2. Service: 2/5. They had no English menu. At this point I have come to Belgium enough to pick out a few familiar terms, but I would have liked to be able to see what other dishes they had. Had to aggressively flag down waiter whenever we needed something. they also charge €1.80 for tap water. This place is popular enough even for locals that one can't get in without reservations. We were told they only have 2 slots: 6-8 or 8-10. We picked the earlier one. The restaurant was only half full until about 7.

As of November, 2018 the place has been open for two years. The energetic and kind host welcomed us in, and we sat at a pleasant two-top with a view of the boulevard and passers-by. Eggs Benedict was listed as a house specialty, so we gave it a try. At €9, it was a little small (only half the size of a typical Benedict. More aptly named "Egg Benedict," it comes with just one egg, a single strip of bacon, and perfectly sauteed spinach on a single hearty piece of toast) - but the flavors were excellent. Instead of the usual hollandaise used in the US, which I find a bit bland, Bodega's serves a richer bechamel. This worked wonderfully. We also shared a €7.50 Greek yogurt and granola. Note that granola in Europe means a slightly different cereal- more like what we call muesli. Toasted and nicely flavored rolled oats with nuts and a bit of dried fruit, but without the clusters we typically see. It's quite tasty and similar to granola, but less crunchy. Good value. Coffee was typical European excellent. We had cafe con leche (coffee with milk). One of those will wake you right up. Total cost was €22. Not much more than we'd pay at a cafe at home, but far higher quality. Four stars; a great score by my standard.

Restaurant itself is nice, with a good outside sitting area as well as a large indoor area. Food: I had gray shrimp croquettes and waterzooi fish, both traditional Ghent dishes. Croquettes could have had a bit more shrimp (they didn't say any thing about % of shrimp like some restaurants so I assume less than 45%). €10 per piece, so quite expensive. Fish stew was DELICIOUS! If it wasn't €28 could eat that stew for days Service: meh. They were only half full, but took awhile to get beverages and food. Had to remind the wait staff a few times. One unfortunate thing is because of the high Asian tourists in the restaurant, who were noisy and rude (taking pictures of EVERYTHING including restaurant patrons), the experience wasn't great.

Truly an all-day operation, lunch and dinner offered along with breakfast while several bakers arrive before dawn to make sure leavening items are progressing while preparing the wood ovens for a busy day, De Superette sees Desramaults teaming with two other with a focus on high quality organic breads baked in the old tradition, the execution truly remarkable with such dedication that the restaurant actually generates embers for the grill from the wood used to heat the oven made of stone. A relaxing space with a kitchen that gives those interested the opportunity to see nearly every aspect of bread production, as well as unique things like apples being roasted over direct flame to make apple juice or jam, De Superette takes the traditional "coffee house" vibe to new levels with tableside service as well as grab n' go options, both investigated to the fullest over the course of a 60 minute stay. Opting for the complete breakfast in addition to several pastries it was with WiFi barely logged into that the first of several items began to arrive and with good coffee served black via pour-over next to rosy Apple Juice first bites of the Kouign Amann sent the mind spinning - questions arising as to whether any previously experienced even came close to this degree of caramelization atop melted butter, the answer a resounding no after subsequent bites while the Pain aux Chocolat was equally archetypical with a robust shell overlying arches of lamination around pipelines of melted dark chocolate. Deciding savories were in order, the meat, cheese and butter all made either in-house or at In de Wulf, a board of Copa, Butter, Sourdough, Soft Cheese and Confiture soon arrived next to a scalding cast-iron skillet with two runny eggs topped in foraged Mushrooms, Leeks, Woodland Herbs and hard Cheese added after baking with each taste showing the benefits of passion and product sourcing as the pork literally melted on the tongue while the makeshift scramble was woodsy with a great juxtaposition of textures whether placed on Toast or eaten by itself. Taking the rest to go, a total bill just under €30 a bit pricey but worth every cent, it was later that afternoon that four more items were enjoyed as a snack and although the streets of Bruges were a slightly different scene than the dining room at Guldenspoorstraat 21 the results were no less impressive as both cookies felt like someone had upgraded American ingredients simply by trying harder, the Bread Pudding filled with all sorts of texture from fruit, nuts, chocolate and custard while the toothsome Spelt Bread saw Frangipane's sweetness put to good use overlying a thin layer Berry Jam.

We order three different dishes: beetrootsalat, aged lamb and chicken with aiolie. All three very delicate dishes with a lot of different flavored. We had heard that the bread was homemade and indeed it was lovely! The beer and cider that we ordered were good beverages and all very well! You would have to know that: dishes here are quite small, they are being served in pairs, for everyone to pick from. The location is very modern and stunning: open kitchen, large oven and odd plates. It is quite pricy here, yet the quality of the food makes it worthwhile.

You don't have to be eating there to walk through the restaurant to see the ham! After going on a free walking tour, I was starving, so I came to eat lunch here. There are tables in an inside area that's inside of the building (sounds confusing, but when you see it you'll know what i'm talking about), but sitting in the area where the hams are hanging is a lot more fun. You just grab any table and a server will come to you. It's a hopping place for brunch/lunch - they have salads and toast and omelettes, and of course lots of beer options. I wanted to try something local and so I ordered the waterzooi, which is this cream/egg based stew with chicken and potatoes and other veggies. The dish originated in Gent. And since I was at the old Butcher's Hall, I wanted to try some ham. They had a meat tasting dish that came with four different meats. The meat sampler came with Superano ham, Ganda ham, Breydelham, and Gentse kop. My favorites were the Superano and the Ganda - they tasted like prosciutto. The Breydelham tasted like regular ham. The kop was my least favorite - it's basically a pork product made of parts of the pig like the head. I guess it's kind of like spam, but not as tasty. The sampler came with some kind of mustard for dipping the meat in! The waterzooi was tasty and hearty and it was huge!!! It had generous chunks of chicken and yummy potatoes. I like the light creamy flavor. I couldn't finish it because it was too much food. The service was great except it was hard when I tried to pay and leave. My original server was very busy with this large party that was there and he was bringing out dishes two at a time by himself. I finally got the attention of the girl server who was clearing a different table and she came by but when I tried to pay with my credit card, she said I had to go inside to the bar area to pay. So I went and paid and the girl who took care of that for me said it was like some kind of special customer day and gave me this little bottle of a pickled dip for eating meat with!
