This authentic Vietnamese-Mexican restaurant provides some of the best food I’ve ever tasted! Ran by two brothers, Victor and Casper, they create such a friendly, calm atmosphere making you feel right at home. Their customer service is outstanding and they both have great knowledge of their menu. They were more than happy to help me decide what to eat and recommend combinations from the menu.
The tacos (both pork and chicken) were delicious and had such a great balance of flavours. I shared both the pork and chicken banh mis with a friend of mine and loved both. The bread was so fresh; soft on the inside and the crust had an amazing crunch. Lemongrass is a particularly favourite flavour of mine, so the chicken banh mi was to die for, but the pork belly was such a flavour bomb - I genuinely couldn’t choose a favourite between the two (I’m lucky I could share both)!
All in all, as a visitor from the UK, I would highly recommend visiting Het Mooie Weer while in Gent, or as a local! You won’t be disappointed - I promise!
Update: went back for round 2. Mexico combo with chicken torta and Pozole. Pozole has a great rich flavor. Tres Leches cake and Miso brownie for dessert. Everything was wonderful. Will be back to try the tacos next time.
The bread here is made by Compaan, a social bakery that provided employment opportunities to people that otherwise couldn’t work. So it is not only deicious, but it’s good for society!
To start we were served some delicious miso brownie pieces while waiting for our food.
The carnitas torta was to die for. The bread had just the right amount of crisp while still being light and fluffy on the inside and the meat and toppings were balanced perfectly.
After trying a bite of the pork belly bahn mi which my girlfriend ordered I can confidently say it is equally delicious!
To top it all off the tres leches was a perfect closer to the best lunch I’ve had so far in Ghent.
Highly recommended!
