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.

It was made known to us that we order first and then grab a seat. The menu was primarily in Dutch, so the staff were helpful enough to explain to us in English and answer any questions that we had. I got the Tomato Paprika Ball with Apple Rhubarb drink. It was one giant meatball with mashed potatoes under it. From the outside, it didn't appear to have tomato sauce at all cause the sauce was brown, but found that it was inside the ball. I personally like anything tomato sauce related, so I really enjoyed it. The meal was full of carb/protein. It was very filling - almost couldn't finish it myself. Flavors were delicious. I enjoyed the meal a lot.

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. I left as soon as I could.

Located right along the river. We were seated downstairs right by the river and it was a great…read morespot. I just wished the food complemented it though. Along with drinks, I ordered the glazed pork belly. It was pretty awful and I don't use this word at all in any of my reviews. I think they were trying to put an Asian spin on it and make it taste like char siu or something. It had inklings that reminded me of char siu, but it was overly salty and didn't have much flavor to it at all. It was too salty that I didn't end up finishing it. My wife ordered the pork cheek stew. That was actually pretty good and the beer they used to braise it in gave it a slight sweetness. I did enjoy the white asparagus with ham though. The asparagus here in this region is bigger than the ones we get in the States. It was cooked in butter and tasted good. The ham really complemented it well. I would definitely order this again. If you do come here, I recommend getting a table downstairs by the river if you can. It's close to the restrooms and you get a view of the river. Though it was dirty looking, it still adds to the ambiance.
