MOREL'S
RESTAURANT
& CAFE
Just in case
you fail to locate Gilbert Van Kerckhove, maybe try at Morel's where
he set up his preferred meeting room and second office. |

Renaat proudly displays some
of his pictures with the Belgian VIPs.
Though a Belgian
restaurant it attracts all nationalities who seem to be familiar
with good Belgian food since ages. Morel's secret? Simple. Renaat
Morel himself with his dynamic and outgoing wife Susan. Renaat has
become a celebrity in Beijing, everybody seems to know him. Articles
about his place are all over the Chinese press.
What attracts
and keeps his customers coming back is the food, the beer, the cozy
atmosphere. Yes, in Beijing you find the real stoverij met frieten
(Belgian beef stew), DE mossels (mussels), the perfect steak and the
unbeatable Belgian beers such as Duvel, Hoegaarden, Kwak, Chimay,
Orval, Maredsous ... and a shot of Filliers Jenever. |

Indeed, Morel's is the
favorite meeting point in Beijing of faithful clientele of expats,
locals and even Chinese officials. As far as I know, no visiting
Belgian official has dared to skip the place during his visit to
Beijing. |
| Now, when it is getting really late and you can't
find either Renaat nor Gilbert, try... |
