The location is great, but they served me rock hard waffle that must have been 2 days old, I could barely chew it.

Nice location, bang on the central square of Grote markt the main shopping area and attraction of Aalst. The place bears a weary look with worn out furniture and setting, which is contrary to the location that it sits on. Food quality is good and service is fast, prices are reasonable.

(Translated by Google) 23/07 / '20: twice daily dish and drinks ordered. Dish of the day was full au vent with chips. When we got our drink, we were asked to pay already. No problem. My companion had ordered a glass of wine, but it was only half filled. We had to wait a long time. When I saw that people who had arrived after us were first served, I addressed the servant. It was going to come, she said. A little later she asked us what we ordered and if we had already paid. Bon, we get our food in the end. I wouldn't describe it as vol au vent, but already chicken cubes with chips. I found the fries a little weak, but my companion could live with it. If you search on Google for vol au vent, you will see that there must be at least a puff pastry. Meatballs would have been nice too. Possibly a little lettuce and tomatoes. Positive: beautiful building. (Original) 23/07/'20: tweemaal dagschotel en drinken besteld. Dagschotel was vol au vent met frieten. Wanneer we onze drinken gekregen hadden, werd ons gevraagd om reeds af te rekenen. Geen probleem. Mijn metgezel had een glas wijn besteld, maar dit was maar voor de helft gevuld. We moesten heel lang wachten. Wanneer ik zag dat er mensen die na ons toegekomen waren eerst bediend werden, heb ik de dienster aangesproken. Het ging komen zei ze. Even later vroeg ze aan ons wat we besteld hadden en of we al betaald hadden. Bon, we krijgen uiteindelijk ons eten. Ik zou het wel niet als vol au vent omschrijven, maar al kippenblokjes met frieten. Ik vond de frietjes wat slap, maar mijn metgezel kon er wel mee leven. Als men op Google zoekt naar vol au vent, ziet men dat er op zijn minst een bladerdeegkoekje moet zijn. Gehaktballetjes had ook leuk geweest. Eventueel een beetje sla en tomaatjes. Positief: mooi gebouw.

" il nous a pas répondu et nous a lancé un regard froid "

Great food, good beer selection and excellent location.

Sorry forget it. You need to pay cash. And if you can leave asap. They are looking football. What a cheap nonsense place!!, stay out. Location perfect.. Price also ok. Very sad. The chicken was just out the microwave and still cold. How complex is it. A grilled chicken. To get it warm. Ha ha ha. The menu is to large to have things fresh. Sad. It could be a great place

Very nice place in beautiful scenery. Good food and beer.

Nice café in Aalst.

Went for lunch because of the great location and weather. There were two waiters serving the terrace who were kinda slow in taking orders especially considering it was not that busy. They have this weird custom of giving the bill immediately after the order which is normal when you just go for drinks but strange if it's before you've even gotten your food. Ordered a pancake and after he went indoors the waiter came back to tell me it's too busy in the kitchen and if i'd be ok with a waffle. Found this a bit strange as its basically admitting the pancakes are fresh but the waffles aren't. I ordered a ham and cheese sandwich instead. The sandwich was only half filled with cheese which I consider an oversight as the ham was on both halves. It's empty for the rest, garnish and mayonaise on the side. Sandwich was pretty expensive for what it was but the rest of the menu looked normal price wise. You get a chocolate mousse with your coffee which is nice. Might return for a drink but not for food.

(Translated by Google) Simply cozy (Original) Gewoon gezellig

(Translated by Google) Ordered a salad with chicken and apples, for € 18 the chicken may already be tasty. Unfortunately this was not chicken, it had a very strange taste. According to the cook this was perfectly ok, I will not know the taste of honey and herbs was his answer. No compensation whatsoever, I got my plate back and it was done. They will never see me again here. (Original) Slaatje met kip en appeltjes besteld, €18 daarvoor mag de kip al lekker zijn. Helaas was dit geen kip, er zat een heel rare smaak aan. Volgens de kok was dit perfect ok, ik zal de smaak van honing en kruiden niet kennen was zijn antwoord. Geen enkel tegemoetkoming gekregen, ik kreeg mijn bord terug en klaar was kees. Mij zien ze hier nooit meer terug.

Our Belgium host chose this destination as it had Belgian Culinary Signature dishes on the menu. Had the Flemish Beef Stew, Croquet Shrimp & Trappist Beer. Was not disappointed.

(Translated by Google) Good service (Original) Goede bediening

(Translated by Google) Just sat on the terrace. We were not served. Seated half an hour. Raised our hands 10 times. Miss had seen it but did not feel like serving us. We decided to sit somewhere else. (Original) Net op terras gezeten. We werden niet bediend. Halfuurtje gezeten. 10 maal ons hand opgestoken. Juffrouw had het gezien maar geen zin om ons te bedienen. We zijn dan maar ergens anders gaan zitten.

(Translated by Google) Substandard kitchen and service. Apparently never heard of corona measures. Table not disinfected, no registration and papers underlying the previous customer remained smeared. Unworthy for an honestly beautiful location (Original) Ondermaatse keuken en bediening. Van coronamaatregelen blijkbaar nog nooit gehoord. Tafel niet ontsmet, geen registratie en papieren onderliggend van vorige klant bleven besmeurd liggen. Onwaardig voor een eerlijk mooie ligging

Nice place for a drink

The service here is just awesome. The staff is smiling all the time and clearly enjoying their jobs. The prices are really nice, for just over 3 euros I had a very tasty IPA! the people next to us had food and it looked and smelled very good. Would definitely come back!!

First to explain that I just went in had a beer and went out! Location is excellent, town center with pictures surrounding. However I went in and set near the door to toilets, as soon as first person went out I could smell to much of it which detour me from eating there. Had a beer, pale ale, which was excellent. To recap, if coming in with good company you can have a proper beer a probably good meal. Do not expect to much from the personal. If you are having not so really a nice day do not go in!

Don't eat here. In fact, the place is well located and the waiters really nice. But, the food we had (mussels (25€)) and the drink (sangria (7,5€)) weren't good. The mussels were way to cooked and tasteless and the sangria way too sweet ... And overall it s not cheap, so if i have to conclude i regret my lunch here and i would not recommend the place.

The food is way too expensive for what you get. I have been eating much better prepared food for much less price in Belgium. The only positive point about this place is the location and the fact that it's in the historic building. That's it.

Nice place where to have a quick lunch, with a nice expat atmosphere

(Translated by Google) Friendly service, nice menu, good food ... beautiful terrace ... (Original) Vriendelijke bediening,mooie kaart,lekker eten...prachtig terras...

They don’t accept payment with card under 25 euros and try to charge you 30 cent extra, which is illegal.

The worst place I ever visited in my life, very very rude staff , I paid with my credit card and asked for my receipt , but I didn’t receive it and when I asked for it waiter was shouting at me , I am in shock how such places in 21 century still exist

Good place and friendly staff. The food is good.

Great to have a drink and an afternoon snack. Restaurant average

Super

(Translated by Google) Been a few times, varying satisfaction, sometimes it is great, other times the food and the service could be better. Nice location. (Original) Paar keer geweest, wisselende tevredenheid, de ene keer is het top, andere keer kan het eten en de bediening beter. Wel mooie locatie.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful new terrace, € 11.00 for a dish of the day. 1 tip: present the bill and have it paid with the drink and NOT with the food (it is not that warm and therefore cools down even faster ...) (Original) Mooi nieuw terras, €11,00 voor een dagschotel. 1 tip: rekening presenteren en laten betalen bij de drank en NIET bij het eten (Het is namelijk niet zo warm en koelt dus nog sneller af...)

(Translated by Google) Cozy terrace on the Grote Markt. Extensive menu with drinks and snacks. Friendly service and prices are certainly ok.

(Original) Gezellig terras op Grote Markt. Uitgebreide kaart met drank en snacks. Vriendelijke bediening en prijzen zijn zeker ok.

(Translated by Google) We had dinner there, it was super, always check if the lettuce is fresh. The Scampis were cooked immediately instead of fried. The waiter could also be more friendly. (Original) We hebben daar gegeten, was ni super, altijd goed kijken of de sla vers is. De Scampi's waren gelijk gekookt ipv gebakken. De ober mocht ook vriendelijker zijn.
