When there's beautiful weather there is the possibility to sit outside, so you can enjoy the weather. There's the ability to park your car at the front of the building. Very close to this taverne is a busstop, so you can always reach it very easily. The decoration is very cosy and restful. It has just a very homey feel. The owners are very friendly and attentive. Unfortunately u can only pay with cash. But this was the only disadvantage. I will definitely come back again soon! Thank you!

There is also another large level upstairs for dining. Being tourists, we order the Belgium fries, beef stew and mussels in wine broth. It was just right for 4. The fries were petty crispy - I heard they fry it twice. We almost got the rabbit stew but quickly changed it to beef stew since we were heard it was cooked in dark beer. The mussels were delicious. The the order was huge. We inhaled everything! So glad we stopped by here.

The food is good but somewhat limited, but we all enjoyed either the rabbit stew or the beef stew. Also the ciders are good and the extensive selection of beers - wow!! The service was good, although it was even better 5 years ago on our first visit (pre COVID). Person to person is sooooo much better than QR codes and the like!!

The stew is served in a single pot for as many portions are you require. Eat family style. Join the stew with some standard beef-fat fried frites and one of the many beers.

I recommend stopping by here for some stew, frites, and beer as I did on the night of American Thanksgiving.

In this case, I went to a cocktail bar nearby and, after learning that they don't serve food, the waiter there told me about this place. This is a really cozy gastropub close to the cathedraal. Service was pretty good here. I had a vispannetje, which was translated to me as "fish stew". I was a bit unimpressed after I found that that the fish in it was salmon (which is not my favorite), but man, it also had some shrimps and mussels all thrown in a delicious sauce which i'm guessing uses cream and white wine and some vegetables that I couldn't make it. The side order of fries were good, but I'm still dreaming about that stew.
