Allegro Moderato

Reviewed By Nelson C

We were three couples led by a Gent resident and picked the chef’s menu: 6 course with cheese and mouth tuning to move on. Got red and white wine, and zoooom! It’s not easy to please a group of extensive travel experience and taste adventures, but literally everyone praised the food. I had entrecôte to perfection, and loved the Dutch and French cheese variety for desert. Service was excellent and helped the conversation flow, with no diversion or displeasure. The dinner was as surprisingly good and the city of Gent!

A Food Affair

Reviewed By karelblonde - Deurle, Belgium

A bit hidden small restaurant with Asian food in combination with Western touches. You need to make Reservations ahead because it is always booked. The host and cook always given you a big smile and loud laughter, which gives that little extra. Very nice dishes and well balanced in spice sand curry. I was very happy with the beef salad as starter, chicken in green curry as main course and panna cotta as desert. I surely will come back to this Asian pearl.

Nice young couple recently took it over and made a great little restaurant!

Reviewed By belgianvisit0r - Ghent, Belgium

We had, as expected, again a very good meal. The new location is even better, the food is still delicious and service seems less nervous / more mature, and the location itself is very nice with a rather private terras.
The way of working is still the same- very limited choice, but everything you get is excellent.

It was our first time to this brasserie. Interior is very cozy. We choose the partridge which was unfortunately too dry. The fish gratin was really tasty though. One big opportunity for improvement is the attitude towards customers. The waiter was really grumpy ....

Booking it from afar, the service was excellent from the day of reserving the table. The house is beautiful, in a very pretty village (worth a wander around), and I liked the fact that you pass the kitchen on your way from the front door...MoreThank you very much for your beautiful review, we truely appreciate this! Looking forward to welcome you again at your next visit in Belgium :) Best regards, Caroline & Pascal

Soup'R

Reviewed By JSN16 - Barcelona, Spain

We ate here while visiting Ghent. We had never seen a soup "fast food" restaurant before but our experience was very good. Excellent prices, tasty and healthy food and friendly staff. The place is small so you may have to wait to eat, but I think it's really worth it. Perfect for december cold. You get bread and butter and a few extras and sauces for free with the soup. I recommend the Thai one!

Don Peppe Pizzeria

Reviewed By Bob M - Genk, Belgium

We just drove by looking for a restaurant and my wife picked this one. Interior is made in Italian type style and looks nice.
Quality of the food is good and pasta's seem to be freshly made, same for other ingredients. That said 7 euro for a small tomato soup is a bit to high, 4 /5 euro is max I would expect in this kind of restaurant.
I have a Tortellini alla Ricotta which was very nice but not really enough. I had some of my sons lasagne, was to big for him.
Overall the Quality of the food was good but the price was a little bit to high.

De Blauwe Artisjok

Reviewed By EuTraveller2016

My boyfriend's family and I had a dinner at the restaurant. Food was good.
However, when we would like to pay our bill. We were told only by then that they don't accept debit bank card. Or we had to pay cash or only paying by Visa. But the bill was 635 euro, who would bring over 600 euro cash with them... We we're not informed when we entered the restaurant or even it's not written on there website. As well as they don't tell it when you made Reservations too.
Be careful when you visit the restaurant.
The waitresses's attitude towards this was really bad. They even didn't say sorry for this inconvenience. They don't care if customers feel upset about it. I mean that's their fault that they don't inform customer in advance.
Be sure that you have a visa card. Or some hundreds euro cash at hands.
Overall, I don't recommend people to go to this restaurant. There are many more restaurants like this. And better service and attitude you can experience in others.
