The wait staff were incredibly helpful and made several suggestions but I ended up with the Flemish Stew because that's what I came in for. This Stew was probably some of the most tenderest beef I've ever had in my life. It practically melted in my mouth and the gravy was wonderful. Being from the US all that extra gravy would have been great with mashed potatoes but their standard side is an order of French fries. I'm glad we followed our gut on this one, pun intended, because this will go down South far as the best Flemish Stew I've had on our trip so far. We have more Belgian destinations to go to but they've set a pretty high standard.

Google reviews recommended this place for some traditional food. Upon entering, we were given the…read morechoice to sit inside or outside. There were plenty of options. Our server gave us recommendations of the menu when we asked. He spoke English and chatted with us about music festivals. We started with two main entrees. We were about to order a third, and the server warned us that it would be too much food. In the end it was, but we got a take away box.. The stoofvlees (Flemish beef stew) is what they're known for, and it is good. But the varkenswangetjes was way better. They both have the same sauce, but the meat was more tender. The third dish was stoemp van de week that we just wanted to try. It wasn't as delicious as the pork cheek dish. We got charged for "supp. aardappel", but I couldn't figure out what it was. Maybe the two take away boxes? *Note, the Yelp check in offer is cap. Credit card accepted.

I'll have to apologize in advance that I don't know all the names of the food we ordered in Belgian. To start we had the shrimp and cheese croquettes. I didn't care much for the shrimp, but the cheese croquette was excellent. As an entree I ordered the videe which is kind of like a deconstructed chicken pot pie. There was a round puff pastry in the middle of the plate surround by a creamy sauce with pieces of chicken, mushrooms, and meatballs. It was really good and my favorite dish out of all the items. Other items that I got to try that were ordered in our party were the mousttaka (eggplant lasagna), beef stew (very tender), and the schnitzel (breaded fried pork chop, it was a bit tough). With our entrees, we all got a big bowl of fries to share. Belgians love their fries here! I thought the fries paired well with the videe and beef stew, cause you can dip your fries in the gravy goodness! Overall, Belgian food is great and you can never go wrong with pairing it with fries!
