Even though I'm not particularly a seafood fan, this dish has completely won me over. With a rich cream sauce as the base, it brings together a variety of seafood like salmon, cod, shrimp, and mussels, along with fresh vegetables, perfectly embodying the essence of Belgian cuisine.🐟 The seasoning of the soup is incredibly layered. The first bite will surprise you as it tastes nothing like what you might have imagined. The creaminess is rich yet just right, never cloying. You'll find yourself finishing the entire pot and still craving more. Compared to those monotonous and overly rich cream pastas, this seafood stew is truly unique.👍 Mixed grill: A Feast of Five Meats The mixed grill, featuring five types of meat, is another signature here. It includes chicken, lamb, pork ribs, and more, all perfectly grilled to juicy tenderness.🍖 Served with four different specialty sauces, each one adds a unique flavor to the meat. Every piece is well-seasoned on its own, and when dipped in the sauces, the rich textures will keep surprising you. It's like opening a flavor-filled mystery box with every bite.🎉 Restaurant Ambiance De Pottekijker is a two-story restaurant with a retro-style decor that exudes classic Belgian charm. Though not very spacious, it creates a uniquely romantic atmosphere.

You can ask the waiter to recommend cocktails based on your taste preferences. Each one is visually stunning and guaranteed to satisfy.🎉 Practical Information De Pottekijker is always in high demand, so it's advisable to book a table in advance through their official website.
