We ordered a carafe of house red wine. Nice flavor wine. We split a bowl of french onion soup. Very rich in flavor. Nice crusty bread with ample cheese. Finally a french onion soup served very hot. We had one order if Flemish stew and one order of Seafood pot. The stew was rich in flavor with a thick gravy. The Seafood pot was a pleasant surprise. I expected a brothy dish but was very pleased with a cheesy top of a creamy seafood dish. The flavor was light but at the same time rich and fulfilling. There was shrimp,sole and salmon. The portions were ample. We enjoyed the excellent service. I would highly recommend this charming place.

You go down some old steps into a basement and are stepping back in time. Every single item in the lunch special was delicious. I didn't want a big lunch, but so glad I ordered the special.

That's usually not the case when you're in a tourist town.

The rain caught me on my day trip to Ghent, so when it was time to pick a restaurant, I was trying…read moreto take cover pretty quickly! I knew I wanted a restaurant that seemed local and had the kind of charm only a place in Belgium could give, and this place, even though I picked it fairly quickly, was a great choice. They had a very large covered patio, which was what I was looking for. I wanted to people watch and be outside, but sheltered, so this fit the bill! I was also interesting in eating all the local foods, and they served a dark meaty local stew which they recommended. I also got some soup, since I was cold to the bone! Everything was delicious, and I was not rushed at all. I was left alone to sit, read, and eat slowly. There wasn't a line or anything either- so I knew I wasn't taking up someone's table who needed it. I finished everything except for my beer- I am a lightweight and can't finish a drink! Everything was clearly home made and stick-to-your-ribs hearty, which is what I needed on that cold day. The prices were very reasonable, and the quality was high. There were a lot more smokers on the patio than I am used to in America, but that's just par for the course, and my only 'complaint' - not that I would even call it that.

The 5 course menu was pre-set for our meeting, including wine pairings, pre-dinner apertif, and after dessert coffee/espresso. The meal started with a small plate of breads with pate/similar spread, then came a lobster with cream-sauce appetizer, followed by seasonal soup (squash i believe), an excellent rack of lamb with potatoes and vegetables, and finally a delicious cream-filled apple tart a la mode. The quality of the food was very good, and the staff but attentative but not overbearing, which is important for a business meeting like ours. Really an excellent experience all around. Cannot comment on the dining experience in the main room, but it was comfortable and well-appointed. Would definitely take a spouse, adult family, or important customer here. Not appropriate for very young children. One strange remark, unrelated to the dining experience. A small house directly across the street is apparently the red-light district for this small town. Its a bit strange to walk outside after a nice dinner and have ladies-in-the-window waving you over...

I had the four course: the bread came with butter (not just butter, but I'll let you experience that) and pate. I copied the photo here of my menu. The skate fish was amazing, and the dessert was incredible. The food was NOT over salted nor over sugared, but rather the flavors and textures spoke for themselves. What a wonderful place. I would come to Belgium again just for this. The wine was quite good and only E33/bottle. I think price/value was better than most here.
