We were searching for a place to eat dinner and Gruuthuse Hof seemed reasonable with a table d'hote…read more(€18,50/person). They specialize in Belgian food. We dropped in on a Saturday evening (around 6:15pm) and got lucky calling for reservations the day of. Highly recommend making reservations as we saw the staff reject multiple walk-ins. The service was respectable but sadly, there's no tap water available. The menu consists of starters, fish, meat and a "tourist menu" (aka. three course set menu). - Gueuze (€4,00) - a quaffable, enjoyable lambic beer. Got a hint of a fruity note (apparently grapefruit). - Brugs tarwe (wheat beer) (€4,00) - Flemish beef stew (€18,50) - our buddy enjoyed this dish. - 3x Tourist menu (€18,50) - this is the best bang for your buck as you get a soup of the day (tomato), meat with fries and salad (option of steak, half a chicken, pork chop or salmon) and dessert (vanilla ice cream, sorbet (ask if you're lactose intolerant) or profiteroles). We went with the steak, pork chop and salmon. Oddly, they didn't ask for our steak preference. It was cooked medium and was slightly overcooked. Pork chop was worse; dry and bland. Our friend liked her salmon. Fries were standard fare. Salad was overdressed and you barely get a handful. The best thing was the tomato soup which had good depth and came with bread. The vanilla ice cream wasn't memorable but the profiteroles with chocolate sauce were better. Nothing that will blow you away but okay. One of the cheaper table d'hotes we found but the food was hit and miss. Would I come back? I don't think so.

We were seated right away, around 10:15 on a Saturday morning. I ordered a coffee, and water - the coffee is not what this American is used to (very small cup), that was 3/4 full. It was ok, the breakfast sandwich was the true standout here. Beautiful presentation, perfectly cooked egg with a nice runny yolk, a generous pile of bacon, tomato and lettuce, on a toasted bagel.

Especially in the United States. They aren't fried very deeply or with a ton of oil and they are always topped with something. My favorite one was the one on the right (see image below) it had pieces of brisket, mayonnaise on top. Definitely worth a try, and I am very glad to have been able to experience the ORIGINAL fries in Belgium, but they're not my favorite.
