Did you say €3 spaghetti? Is it good?
Okay, they weren't serving spaghetti when I was there, I could not ask why. I heard from locals that it was good. Instead, this review is on the €3 appletaart, tea, the employees, customers, and the shop itself.
Instead of sitting outside, I encourage you to sit inside and get comfortable. It is very cozy. The waitress who served me was very prompt, spoke good English, and apologized for not having the spaghetti that time. I had a late afternoon snack instead [of early dinner]. I had tea with milk and apple pie. My table was beside an old Dutch/Flemish/Belgian (trying to be politically correct here) couple's table who were smiling at me every time I looked their way, sharing a plate of afternoon snack of coffee and pancake (which I heard second best after the spaghetti). I smiled back in courtesy. In bare English, they asked me if my food was good, I replied 'very good'. It was! It was not very sweet and it went well with my tea. It had bits of apples. They too pointed at their pancake and said 'very good'. The sincerity almost convinced me to get an order of pancake but I stopped myself because the appletaart was more than enough.
I was told that the owner (or the son who took over the place, maybe a bit hazy on the story of this place due to massive amount of Belgian beer the night before at the hostel), checks on customers. I had a middle age man come ask me if the food was good, and being the satisfied customer that I was, I said 'very good' again. He might have been the owner. He was chatting with some locals in some of the tables, laughing loudly (not rudely). No complaints on the service at all.
The location of the restaurant was off the main road of the market. A lot quieter but may get packed during dinner. I wanted to go back for the spaghetti but wasn't able to. :( read more
