Cassel, Kerelshof

Top destination in French Flanders! 

The 'Kerels' is THE meeting point for  beer loving locals and visitors alike. Located in a prominent position on the cobbled terrace of the Grand Place, this is one of the oldest buildings in Cassel. 

The attractive exterior draws you into the tastefully furnished and decorated interior, which avoids the tweeness of many 'new wave' Estaminets. Much is made of hanging hop vines along with pictures and photos from contemporary local artists.

There is a a large terrace to the front, offering views of Cassel's beautiful Grand Place,

This is a true Estaminet where popping in just for a drink is positively encouraged and where the interesting list of 80 plus beers might persuade you to stay a while longer than planned.

Traditional bar snacks of cheese cubes and Saucisse sèche are always available, plus a chalk board list of more substantial dishes, including various Planches, Carbonade (maison), Potjevleesch, Welsh (rarebit) (maison)  and  Tarte au Fromage  au Pave Cassel (Maison).

If you see a short ageing Englishman at the bar, with a bad French accent, say hello and offer him a drink, it will most likely be me.
