Pado

Were there for one of their trappist weekends. Just the idea: to serve all seven trappists, each with a fitting three-course menu, consecutively on seven weekends! The food prepared high above average, perfectly in accordance with the two Achels. Frankly I do not understand why there were free seats in the small restaurant, instead of tout Flandre queueing for that unique event. For us, this affectionately managed beer place is a real discovery.

The pub itself ain’t much special, but the owners and the home beer make it more than OK.

I was here two times. It’s a good place to taste a beer. A fine selected beerchoice. If you visit this place: try the housebeer it’s nice and good bitter.

Not in the most idyllic setting, but close to the station - bar looks small from the outside, but has plenty of room inside. Two main interests, here: good beer and good food, i.c. the so-called tapas Spanish style. Choices in these range from 3 to 11 Euro’s depending on the platter. For a slightly hungry or fully ravenous visitor, these are a must. The Spanish link is extended with Iberian strong drinks. The beers are Belgian, however, with at least one special on draught, and an original housebeer, commissioned at Alvinne picobrewery. The beerchoice may not be enormous, but is keen, and never hesitate to ask Patrick and Dominiek for advice! Tasting glasses for tries, and lead tasting sessions on reservation. Menu features taste descriptions. Only setback here for me, is that, apart from me and people I bring along, EVERYBODY seems to smoke here.
