Hey Palings Huis (The Eel House) – Temse BE

I was in Belgium for a work trip and saw this restaurant. Not knowing anything about it, my group decided to try it.

As we looked over the menu and talked to the server, we learned their specialty was eel and the restaurant name translates to “The Eel House”.

I never ate eel before and the server convinced me to at least try it. He said it was his favorite and the restaurant was well known in the area for how they prepared the delicacy.

I tried it but it wasn’t for me. The seasoning was good but I was not accustomed to the texture.

The rest of my dinner was delicious and I recommend this restaurant.

We got there about 5:30pm and we had a 45 minute wait. There were 8 in our party and everyone had to be there for us to be seated.

Once we were seated, the servers were very attentive and quick.
The seasoning choices were tasty and there was plenty of seasoned butter in each bag.
