wow, what is there to not like about this place…read more first, let me tell you their service is exceptional and very friendly to tourists which is hard to get sometimes in the area. we put our name down an hr before our requested time and they were very accommodating to save us the table. we originally came for the famous moules frites. found out it was all sold out for the night and we were very disappointed. we still decided to stay and try Georges4 due to the glowing reviews. thankfully, we were not let down twice! my bf and i ended up ordering just a bowl of fish soup and the waterzooi which is a specialty at Georges. i've had waterzooi previously in Boston and wouldn't say i was a fan.. but wow, Georges' waterzooi definitely changed my impression on the dish entirely! the bowl came with 3-4 types of fish fillet accompanied by other small sea critters like baby shrimps and musles. the dish delivered such a fragrant ocean breeze and the flavors were spot on! the fish were not overcooked and simply to perfection! the fish soup was very delicious too! a little pricey but really worth it to try! it will set your benchmark for fish soup very high for future bowls lol overall, i would recommend georges IV if you're in gent! the seafood is super fresh! tip for travelers: they offer free wifi!

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.

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.

De meisjes van de bediening waren vriendelijk en professioneel, niks op aan te merken. De eigenaresse daarentegen, heel onvriendelijk en tot zelf verzuurd.

Na dit aan te kaarten werd de eigenaresse werkelijk nog onvriendelijker en tot zelf boos omdat zij het terug moest betalen omdat wij ons ticket niet op voorhand hebben nagekeken. Er wordt met een tijdslot gewerkt, dan bekom je het feit dat het heel druk kan worden aan de kassa op bepaalde momenten dus hadden we niet de kans om dit deftig te bekijken. Na ik nogmaals had aangegeven dat dit een menselijke fout was, van hun, en het helemaal niet erg was bleef ze aanhouden dat het onze schuld was omdat we het ticket niet voor de betaling hadden nagekeken. Ze gaf aan dat ze mij niet kon terugbetalen met de bankcontact, door zelf in de Horeca gewerkt te hebben weet ik dat het wel kan maar zij zal van deze kennis misschien geen bezit hebben, gaf ze verveeld het bedrag terug in cash. Ik heb werkelijk nog nooit meegemaakt dat de zaakvoerder boos wordt op de consument omdat zij een, opnieuw menselijke, fout hebben gemaakt. Deze dame kan niet om met drukte en is niet stressbestendig. Omwille van deze reden ga ik niet meer terug. Ik herhaal wel graag, de meisjes van de bediening waren heel vriendelijk en professioneel.
