In de Zon
In de Zon is a haven for foodies and cycling enthusiasts (it is located in the heart of the Heuvelland region). The decor is filled with nostalgic finds from flea markets, which add a touch of charm. On a clear day, you can see all the way to France from the gorgeous terrace. This is a restaurant that is full of character and that showcases Flemish cuisine at its best. Crispy shrimp croquettes, herby paling in 't groen (eel in a green sauce) with fresh fries, succulent pork cheeks cooked in Saint Bernard beer: this heartwarming food leaves a lasting impression.

Located in Heuvelland, In de Zon offers traditional cuisine within a cozy, bicycle-themed atmosphere. Reviews highlight friendly service and a welcoming environment suitable for families and pets. Food quality receives mixed feedback; while many praise the fresh seafood and well-prepared mains, others report declining standards, including stale ingredients and bland flavors. Negative comments frequently cite slow meal pacing and defensive staff behavior during peak times. Although the ambiance remains a strong point, inconsistencies in food freshness and service efficiency create a divided experience. Travelers seeking reliable traditional dining should be aware of potential variability in quality and wait times.
Suitable for travelers valuing traditional ambiance who can tolerate potential service fluctuations; visiting off-peak is advised.
