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.

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.

This is a true locals place... Waitstaff are very welcoming and speak Dutch, French, and English from what I could pick up. Food was amazing! We had toasted bread with two different tapenades, tapas style potatoes with a delicious dipping sauce for starters. Angus steak with fresh pesto, some sort of croquettes, and a delicious mix of pan roasted shallots, baby cabbage, and cherry tomatoes. My wife had a Thai beef salad with pomegranate and mint...all delicious! This place has an extensive drinks list, and the person who served us was happy to suggest a couple of beers from the region. We would definitely come again!

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.

It is super cozy at night with the blankets, heat lamps, and literally fires they have going on their patio. The light is dim and sets the mood. We tried to order the mulled wine but the server apologized that it was a winter beverage and they have yet to remove it from the cart. Instead, he recommended their hot chocolate with rum and you already know we weren't going to turn that down. We also ordered the waffle that inspired our visit in the place. They have plenty of topping options including ice cream, whipped cream, fruit, and other dessert-like things. I was put on the spot and blurted out caramel and ice cream. Maybe caramel ice cream. Maybe caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream. I can't be sure. The hot chocolate was piping hot and warmed our soul. The waffle was beautiful and a work of art. They kindly wrote "Ghent" in chocolate sauce on the plate which was such a nice touch. There was a heaping scoop of ice cream and caramel sauce. The waffle was, and I may be full of shit here, but "Brussels" style, but I'm pretty sure I remember reading that. It was square. The outside was SO CRISP and the inside was still warm. It was just what we needed. It was also reasonably priced if I remember correctly.
