Gift Tips

  • Dive into the mussels: The Ghent mussels are a must-try for seafood lovers. Each dish is generously portioned and pairs perfectly with their fantastic fries, served with a unique mayo sauce.
  • Taste the burgers: The burgers at Monk's Cafe are well-seasoned and juicy, making them a top choice if seafood isn't your preferred option. The duck salad sandwich is also highly praised.
  • Explore the beer selection: With an extensive variety of Belgian beers, make sure to ask the knowledgeable staff for recommendations, especially if trying beers inspired by Belgian brewing traditions.
  • Enjoy the fries: Often heralded as the best in the city, the fries are a heavenly addition to any meal. Opt for them as a standalone order or as a side with your mussels or burger for an extra treat.
  • Visit during lunch or off-peak hours: To avoid long wait times, consider dining during lunch or on a weekday evening, as weekends tend to be busier.
