More information on Kid's Ketch
Morel's reputation as the best Western restaurant in the city is a holdover from a less competitive era, but this is nevertheless a fine restaurant, with a rare, fanatic devotion to quality. Owned by Belgian Renaat Morel, one of China's most respected European chefs, and run with help from his wife, the restaurant has a casual and cozy feel, its yellow walls and green-and-white checked tablecloths reminiscent of someone's home. The food is simply presented and side dishes are somewhat limp, but main courses are supremely done, particularly the wonderful Flemish beef stew with tender chunks of meat cooked over many hours in a mix of Rodenbach beer, bay leaf, onion, and thyme. Soups change daily and sell out nightly. The restaurant also has an astounding array of Belgian beers; they now have their own range of purpose-brewed ales. Best of all, however, is the signature Morel's dessert: a near-perfect waffle -- save room for it -- made in a real waffle iron hand-carried on a plane from Belgium. Premature rumors of demolition forced Renaat to open a second outlet, and while the original restaurant has more charm, no one can say when the wrecking ball will hit. Call ahead to check.
