De Graslei, Ghent 02-2012

After the previous evening eating along the northern city river, I walked the other direction this night towards the bustling river region. Given it was March, bustling was still extremely quiet. There was pleasantry in the solitude and peace.

De Graslei was on my list for upmarket local food. The night before I had eaten the waterzooi - Flemish fish based stew. Tonight was the chance to try stoverij - Flemish beef based stew.

- Oven baked mussels in garlic butter;
- ‘Westmalle Double’ dark beer beef stew, salad and fries.

As the night before, this hearty food was washed down with Kriek cherry beer.
