Mosselrestaurant De Oude Haven — Restaurant in Terneuzen

Does it get any better than this. When it comes to mussels it really does not. The service is always personal, friendly and swift. I do not think these people know me, though I have been there more than 6 times, but the intervals between each visit are long. The mussels and french fries (or bread) are à volontée (all you can eat) and have never disappointed my guests or me. Belief me twice I was forced to go elsewhere because we forgot to make a reservation and ended up with mussels that were less tasty and more expensive.

My children enjoyed their meal. Our son does not like mussels but was more than pleased with his fish dish. Our daughter, loves mussels, but wanted something else. She loved the soup, the virgin mochito and cheese croquet.

I will add this that since I first went there, about a decade or so ago, prices have more than doubled but De Oude Haven is not the only one and they are still cheaper than most of the competition in Philippine.

So if you want a real Belgian experience, most customers in Philippine are Belgian, you need to go and eat 'Belgian' mussels (actually grown is Zeeland, the Netherlands) in Philippine. And De Oude Haven is still, in my view, the...

Definitely a place that focuses solely on mussels. As I'm not a big fan of them I chose one of the meat options in the menu. The meat itself was good, but it was also the only thing that was served on the plate. They also served a small salad in a different cup which was just the most basic lettuce and tomato salad. All dishes are served with fries of average quality. It wasn't really busy in the restaurant so the staff seemed nice. The owner took some time to talk with the guests too, apart from us. Probably because he knew the rest of the guests. Strange thing was that the owner was always in the restaurant keeping an eye on his employees and sort of commanding his troops so to speak. This didn't really look inviting to us as all the guests could hear what he was saying. I myself wouldn't come here again, and I'm hesitant to recommend...

On advice of a Dutch colleague I passed here with my wife and son to eat mussels. We made the reservation, but it took us longer to get there. We were ten minutes later. So I register and apologize that I am a bit later to the man who later turned out to be the owner. After which he answers: "oh, I had already crossed out your name". We got a table at the door and sat down, but didn't get the menu. I asked one of the waiters "the menu", after which he gives us exactly one menu booklet. The mussels were good, but not too special as I hoped they would have been. It is clear they cook it in large quantities as they are served in open metal bowls of different sizes. The mussel vegetables are thoroughly chopped and almost become a mush. Not my taste, but tastes can differ. Still had to follow the biggest...
