One of more famous estaminet flamand in a wonderful vue in the hightest point of Flanders with local specialities

This is a really characterful restaurant, specialising in local Flanders cuisine. It's easy to find; just head towards the windmill out of the town square. Being near the top of the hill gives you a good view over the small town. The character hits you as soon as you come in, with the smoke of the log-burning fire, and every inch of space, from floor to ceiling, filled with decoration or knick-knacks of some sort. The menu is fun to choose from. You could if you wanted to, have a dish made with beer for a starter, main course or pudding. Rhubarb and chicory appear frequently on the menu, as does speculoos. Tartlets are a speciality. There is also a small shop on the premises selling Flanders delicacies. Sadly, as with many other good restaurants, this is not one where you are likely to get much of your "Five a Day". But we would definitely go again.

Centrally-located Kerelshof is one of two traditional Flemish estaminets in Cassel. It has a short menu, but everything is well-prepared, with fresh ingredients, and delicious. And there's a list of at least 80 beers and ales from France and Belgium to ch

The Kerelshof [The Rebels' Inn], in the heart of Cassel, is one of two typical Flemish estaminets in Cassel, the other being T'Kasteelhof.The entire menu is written on a slateboard and the list of the more than 80 beers and ales fills a multi-page booklet.Among the Flemish specialities are Carbonade, a beef stew described by a Fleming as "Boeuf Bourguignon made with beer instead of red wine;" Pot je vleesch, portions of various pottted meats served chilled; and Tarte au Maroilles, made with the local cheese.I had a small Tarte au Maroilles as a starter, Carbonade as the main course and Crêpes Cassonade for dessert.I accompanied my meal with a glass of Hop Hop Hop, an excellent double India Pale Ale brewed in nearby Esquelbecq, followed by an Agent Provacateur, another heavily hopped ale brewed by Craig Allen, a Scotsman transplanted into Northern France.The dessert crêpes were accompanied by two bowls of cassonade, a type of brown sugar popular in Northern France produced from sugar beets.

Wonderful little estaminet with Flemish fare and local beer, brewery less than a 100 yards away. I had the carbonnade and it was absolutely delicious, one of the best I have had. My wife had the beef. It was gristly and undercooked. Make sure to order well done if you want medium.

Great little restaurant on the square in Watou. Small and intimate, you feel that you are a guest in someone's home. The wall mural and quirky table add to the atmosphere, and the food was excellent. I've said "yes" to kids, but it would be a best behaviour rather than running around place.
