Find out what Contemporary restaurants to try in Ghent. Belgium's fourth-largest - and most beautiful - city is home to a quarter of a million people and a flourishing flower export trade. An important port, Ghent's city center is a pedestrian area that is like a museum to early Flemish architecture and a testament to the city's medieval might. Impressive Gothic sites, such as dramatic St. Bavo's Cathedral and the Castle of the Counts, inspire awe. The works of Flemish masters are housed in the distinguished Museum voor Schone Kunst.

We were a late walk in and the chef/host accommodated us in a very friendly manner. The room is lovely too, like being in someone's house. No complaints there. The entree of prawn tartare was great, if a little expensive. When the mains arrived my rib eye (around â¬29 I think) was nothing more than a centimetre thick supermarket cut of meat, overpowered with pepper and accompanied by a little lettuce salad. The pasta main was good but way too busy and rich. We are happy to pay good money for food but this was disappointing beste,wij willen u graag bedanken voor uw review maar we vinden het wel heel jammer dat jullie bij ons vertrokken zijn met the big smile en vol lof om dan daarna hier op tripadvisor deze negatieve kritieken te geven.Toen ik als chef aan de tafel naast jullie aankwam hebben jullie mij inderdaad aangesproken om te zeggen hoe fantastisch het voorgerecht was.(1 voorgerecht dat jullie met 2 hebben gedeeld).Toch raar dat jullie dit nobashigerecht van 17euro duur vinden, zeker wanneer jullie dat gedeeld hebben en nog 2 bordjes gekregen hebben ook. Wat betreft de Ierse rib eye wil ik zeggen dat we steeds ongeveer 220g vlees geven en van ongeevenaarde kwaliteit is. De prijs is niet zoals u denkt 29euro maar 24,50euro!!! Wat bertreft de pasta snap ik niet zo goed wat u bedoelt eigenlijk.In ieder geval de volgende keer misschien beter even naar de kaart kijken wanneer u binnen komt om 21u30 en de prijzen checkt. Groeten sven en wendy

Just visited this fairy-tale restaurant for the second time in a month, this time accompanied by three vegetarians ... We decided to choose the menu formula again, it turned out that it now amounted to ⬠39 instead of ⬠29, but for this price you got a complete dish per person as main course, whereas previously this had to be shared per two. Personally, I thought the previous formula was certainly ok, but apparently there were several customers who had complained that they had returned home with a hungry stomac ... In itself, this remains absolutely value for money, but on the other hand the manager could consider the 2 formulas to co-exist: ⬠29 if the main course is shared, ⬠39 for a whole main course per person. On the other hand, you can of course still eat a la carte, so you still have the freedom to share a main course. I remain lyrical about the quality of the food and drinks (very original mixes!), the location and the welcome (see my previous review): very tasty and healthy (the vegatians were also impressed by the quality of the vegetarian, even vegan dishes), beautiful interior and very cordial and warm welcome! I am sure that this will be a stayer in the Ghent restaurant scene! Let's hope that they will adjust the menu a bit soon, because with 2 visits in a month's time we have now really tried everything from the list... ;-)

I was introduced to this great restaurant by a vegan friend who lives in Gent. I have to say Iâve already experienced vegan cuisine because my son joined the revolution 2 years ago.This understated yet homely restaurant offers the visitor the warmest of welcomes coupled with a passion for cooking not just a vegan option but the most wonderful use and adaptation of locally sourced ingredients in the healthiest way. The freshness of our food was incredible. The staff went to great lengths to provide information on every element of the menu so that we not only understood what was to arrive on the table but in so doing, created an element of anticipation. We were not disappointed!!!! Whow We chose to go with a set menu which began with organic vegan bread with olive oil with the most beautiful micro vegetables which are effectively seedling sprouts which look a little like cress but with a radish flavour. This was followed by a terrine of parsnip and celeriac soup accompanied by oyster mushrooms, a combination which I doubted but which was sensational. Then we had a tarte tatin of apple, celeriac and chicory accompanied by a salad of buckwheat, beetroot, orange segments and salad leaves. Finally we had a walnut pie dessert accompanied with herbal tea (the options were extensive) but suffice it to say we were all completely satisfied and nourished without that bloated feeling that we might otherwise have at the end of an evening. It was lovely to meet one of the chefs Jelmer and his partner Hannah who were tremendous hosts not just to our table but throughout the restaurant. I will be recommending this restaurant to anyone visiting Gent and canât wait to return. Really sorry but should have taken photos to give an idea of the charm and presentation. Next time. Thank you guys for a great experience.
