Cafe Aux Trois Moulins

We arrived, hungry, after the kitchen had closed. However, we were still provided with our lunch! Many places in the area serve indistinguishable generic versions of the traditional local cuisine, often straight out of a jar or can, with frozen American-style "french fries". Not the Café Aux Trois Moulins! The Carbonnade was obviously genuine, non-industrial, home-cooked food; The Croque Monsieur just as you'd like to make it for yourself. And as a real surprise, the frites are real and much tastier than the ubiquitous modern offering found elsewhere.Some of the reviews here complain about the price of the food and an alleged lack of quality. They've either reviewed the wrong place or they a...

Super, traditional, old fashioned, cafe bar. Looks like it's straight out of a Maigret novel - tiled floor from the last century, dark wood panelling, really old fashioned toilets, and twisting stairs. Fabulous. Super staff, friendly and courteous. Traditional simple French cafe food - Flemish carbonade, steak hachés with proper fried onions, ham and chips - and the chips are, joy o joy, frites maison (home cooked) Green salad was a lettuce cut fresh from the garden by the charming elderly lady working there. Pancakes stacked in a pile for afters - all helped ourselves and ate with brown sugar and coffee. Fab

This is a typical old fashioned French restaurant. A choice of about 6 dishes all freshly cooked. We saw chef go to his garden to pick fresh lettuce as he had just run out. The atmosphere was wonderfully real and we have already booked a trip to return here in 2 months. So refreshing and not a tourist in sight. The locals could not have been more welcoming. Locals were also turning up with large bowls for our host to fill with take away frites to have with their lunch at home. Marvellous!

Lovely friendly accommodating welcome. The fact that they wasn't planning on doing food was no problem and we had some lovely frites, salad and meat knocked up for us. A nice little family owned business and I highly recommend a visit. If you want some proper Flemish culture and great food this is the place to go.

We ate a traditional hamburger 'steak haché' with fries and salat. A typical crepe and a ' grand cafe au lait' for dessert. Very good quality-price relationship. In total for 2 it was around 25E. The owners were lovely and nice. Recommended!
