Het Hemelsbreed Verschil

Reviewed By Staessen

Been here to celebrate our 15th anniversary and it was excellent. We took the menu where You can choose between dishes, a 4 course menu. Very fine dining in this place that is managed by a couple since 25 years (man in the restaurant and woman in the kitchen) and they do it super, as it should be, with love and passion. A bit more expensive to eat here but worth every euro! Also very friendly people. A very nice experience and we will come back.

Restaurant 't Schuttershof

Reviewed By Hubert645

We went with our family to this children friendly restaurant. Children can play in the garden without danger. The food is good (although the mashed potatos had been forgotten), the service is friendly, but unfortunately much too slow (clearly problems in the kitchen). We had to cancel the dessert for my son (and his family), because he had to go to his work on time. Waiting more than an hour for a simply ice cream is not acceptable.

De Molenhoeve

Reviewed By Staessen

When You enter You see right in the kitchen, that feels a bit odd. On the top of the kitchendoor is a sign with: 'I kiss better than I cook'... Gives a bit of a cheap impression. They gave a menu with just food in it, no drinks and a gin menu (always the gin nowadays) so we had to ask the drinks menu to choose an apperitive. The food was very good. Vitello tonato was superb, also the pasta with pesto and salmon tasted great (the pieces of salmon could be a bit more cut, the lumps were a bit too big in size) and the ossobucco tasted delicious but the piece of meat was very small. A bigger piece of meat would be great. Very nice wine. If You go too the toilet You get a strange feeling: very different interior of toilet comparing to the restaurant, like it's a toilet of another place. Overall feeling was not great but had a nice dinner.

Looked for a restaurant that serve mussels near our hometown and cam across this place on the internet. Nice looking place, clean, lovely terrace, friendly owners and staff. Nice menu. Everything is made fresh and has good taste. Good price/quality. We had a very positive experience and will come back in the future. Business is ran as it should be!

Cafetaria De Lange Max

Reviewed By liesenluc

On a bicycle trip, we stopped in the afternoon at the inviting terrace of Cafetaria De Lange Max, next to the museum with the same name.We were lucky, a couple was just leaving and so we had a table outside. The terrace was full, a good sign! We took "Croques Hawai" with a salad. Big portions and tasty. They have a big assortment of beers. Inside there was a birthday party for a lady of 90 years, and someone was playong old songs on an accordeon, Nice. We saw at other tables the plates with big pancakes, and so we ordered them too. For the pancakes, you need some patience. The reason is, they make them fresh, so the baking is per person and that takes some time. But meanwhile, you can enjoy a beer in the sun. And the waiting time is not a waste time, the pancakes are just delicious!!! It is a good place for a stop, for a good beer, a snack and for the pancakes! And service is very friendly!

De Kallebasse

Reviewed By Staessen

Very nice authentic eating place. Normal people in a cousy interior. Not to posh. Great price/quality. Big plates with enough food, You won't leave Your table feeling hungry. The have a grill with charcoal! You don't find that in many places nowadays. Fair price. Big place with lots of tables but also many people. So if You can make a reservation before You go. We were lucky they had one table left for us do we didn't have to wait.

A hidden gem in the middle of Snaaskerke, a real sensation of taste for a very affordable price. The waiter knows his job and the cook is superb! Very nice wines also. You feel very welcome. We enjoyed it very much here, an excellent experience. Will come back here many times more, fine dining guaranteed like it should be.

There is no more sincere love than the love for good food. The address where gastronomy and conviviality find each other.

Reviewed By FattyLondon

The food was very good and with had a lot of flavours - family business with husband and wife - very nice reception and relaxed atmosphere - the menus were only in Flemish or French - The lady could not speak english but that did not put any barriers to our enjoyment of the food as the lady was very accommodating
