4 days in Belgium and this was one of the first cafés we hit. I can say that we spent the remaining…read moredays trying to find food that equaled this little spot just off the beaten path. The steak was amazing. I've been suffering a bit living in Germany and only getting Argentinian steak. The local raised steak was excellent, tender and was served with a garlic butter. Crisp pommes was a welcome addition. The cheese croquettes were also perfect. A bit speedy, but on par for what you pay for croquettes in Belgium. Finally, the waffles were divine. My family spent the remainder if the trip trying to find waffles that lived up to this one. Light and fluffy and crisp on the outside. Highly recommended and the service was professional, friendly and they do speak at least English and Spanish in addition to Flemish.

The service staff are a little more brusque than we found at most Belgium restaurants, but they were professional and performed well. The food was very good. We had the Chateaubriand, which was well cooked and a fine steak. We were surprised it did not have the usual pate and phyllo wrapping, but we enjoyed it nonetheless. The house wine was quite good. There was a very nice wine list as well.

But our server was super friendly and helpful with translating all the dishes for us to English. As a little bar snack, we were started with a ramekin of tiny whole shrimp--heads, tails, shells, and all! But it was the main dishes that really impressed me. We started with the Lamsbout, a generous slice of roasted leg of lamb in au jus, served with green beans, carrots, and cauliflower, along with a creamy potato gratin on the side. The leg of lamb was cooked to just the right temperature, and while not the most tender cut of meat, the lamb was super juicy and flavorful. But my favorite dish was the steak tartare, a mixture of raw beef, chopped onions, parsley, capers, and plenty of mustard (which dominated the flavor of the dish). The beef was formed into a perfect oblong patty, sliced with a crosshatched pattern on top, and served with soft-boiled eggs and a refreshing salad of lettuce, tomato, and endive, all topped with a creamy yellow dressing. Overall, the beautiful presentation, the generous portions, and the amazing value of the dishes at this friendly, local restaurant made this quite the memorable dining experience!
