This is a 'guinguette', a terrace on the riverside with accordeon music and popular ambiance: kids welcome, lovers & dancers of all ages enjoy the get-together. This brings joy to a rather sad area, the view on the Belgian riverside is not great. In Wambrechies, the first Guinguette is better situated at the yacht harbor. This one just opened when we got there, in June 2016.Food was average (except for the perfect foie gras, which does not need the local cook) because greasy and overbaked. We had andouillette and onglet. When we had finished, they came around with the same stuff (error in the kitchen!)...Service a bit 'the French way', but very kind and a perfect bill.
Cannot comment on the restaurant aspect of this place, but the choice of (largely) locally brewed draught beers (and a cider) could not be faulted. The barman was informative and happy for me to try a couple before deciding which to buy and the IPA, at around 5%, though a bit fizzy for my liking, had a decent flavour which cannot often be said for (not too strong) continental brews.The canal in front of La Guinguette runs east to west; so the sun sets perfectly for a warm end to the day with pleasant views towards the trees and the zoo on the far bank.
Came here with a reservation made last month to celebrate with our son who was graduating from the local university. Found out that they cancelled it without notice--they stopped serving dinner on Sunday and Monday nights but didn't tell those who had reservations.Took 30 minutes to get a cab to get out of this out-of-the-way place in a driving rain. Owners couldn't be bothered.
The kitchen is excellent, I took the menu of the day “speciality of the city” the organization of the service is also at the meeting. The servers are very friendly. I recommend! Thank you.

Bar with an ideal setting to drink a beer on the edge of the deule and citadel. Small hungry mixed board and fries are good and well done
We had a good time in this restaurant. We found a variety of original dishes with a good value for money.
I love this place, the servers are awesome! The place is warm and friendly: I recommend thoroughly!!
Tartar is divine, the adorable and efficient team. A pleasure!
