When I visited for lunch last weekend, they were busy with all of their tables reserved so my only option was to get the food to go. Fortunately, there are some benches and planters to sit next to the restaurant that can be used to eat al fresco. I ordered a double burger that comes with 2 beef patties and asked it be dressed with lettuce, tomato, etc. The burger also came with cheese. I added a small order of french fries with some ketchup and with a Coke the total cost was 12.90€. While waiting about 10 minutes for my order, I noticed the huge amount of already cooked french fries that were under their heat tray. They must sell a lot of fries here. After receiving my meal and going outside to eat it, the burger was big and the amount of fries given were generous. Taste wise both could have been better. The burgers two patties were thick and the lettuce, tomato and cheese added to its visual appeal but the meat flavor didn't make me love it. I guess it's the beef over here but I didn't care for its flavor. It wasn't bad tasting but I have had many better. Also the fries were just the regular frozen out of a bag type so I needed the ketchup (that I had to pay for) and only ate about half of them. I can only give a 3 score for this meal. Evidently my view of this meal is different to the other patrons who come here because this appears to be a popular place.

Whimsical, but then again one would expect that from a brewery that features a little hop-seeking…read moregnome on its labels. A lot of Belgian breweries are surprisingly tiny operations, but that can't be said about the Chouffe. In 2006, the brewery was purchased by the much larger Duvel Moortgat, and it shows. This brewery and its surrounding area is really quite the enterprise by rural Belgian standards - there's the brewery itself, a tap room, another tap room that serves food, an adjacent full-service restaurant with a stocked trout pond behind it, and a gift shop. This all seems a bit "commercial" and United States/Disney-esque, especially after you've been traipsing around Belgium and rural France visiting decidedly non-commercial breweries that half the time were closed, much less have a freakin' gift shop. There's even a pond with a little island with a gnome-hut on it. It would have to try pretty hard to be more cutesy. Still, there's something to be said for this kind of corporatist professionalism, even if it does somewhat resemble visiting the Epcot Center, if it had a "Belgium" pavilion. You don't have to worry about it being open, which was a constant problem in visiting other breweries throughout the region. There will always be a wide, complete range of its beers available, both for on-site consumption and to take home. And of course, plenty of merch and swag featuring that lovable gnome! A Chouffe tulip glass is a must - and there's even Chouffe coffee and cream liqueurs available, of which we purchased a couple small samplers. Of course, there's also the beer. Even after the Chouffe's purchase by a larger brewery, the flagship La Chouffe strong blonde ale hasn't suffered all that much - it's still one of the better examples of the popular "Belgian Strong Pale Ale" style. I think it's got more going on than either Duvel and Delirium....more fruity, spicy, yeasty, while at the same time being a little cleaner than a La Fin Du Monde. I'd still rank it as my favorite easily-accessible example of the style.

I have lived in Europe for years and have come to accept poor service at restaurants…read more This one took the cake. I sat there for more than 20 mins and was not approached one time for service. There were multiple tables that came in after me and folks were served directly. I am 6'11" or 210 cm tall. Clearly the biggest person in the restaurant, so there is no reason I could not have been seen. Huge let down after traveling from Hawaii to my favorite brewery.
