The place in itself is very nice- great setting by the river, nice cosy surroundings etc. But the rest is just not worth the hype nor the money. Service is at its best mediocre- no one to serve the wine or to explain the prolongued waiting time. You're pretty much left on your own once you order. The food is... More

We picked the restaurant on the basis of its 1/391 ranking on Tripadvisor... and I have to say we weren't disappointed! We called on a Friday to book a table for the Saturday, and surprisingly we could still get a table. When we arrived, we informed the waiter we wanted to go to the movies afterwards, and as a consequence... More

Excellent atmosphere. Attentive service! The staff made some great recommendations that were much appreciated. Three course meal w/ amuse-bouche, salad a fish course. A pity there was no room for desert because the desert list was extensive and tempting.

I had lunch here while visiting Belgium in March. Very friendly service - everything correct into the details. Lovely place to have a relaxing lunch. Would not advise it if you are in a hurry - you cannot get in and out in an hour.

Went there with business friends to enjoy a wonderful evening. Not only the food is great, also very nice interior and beautiful surroundings. Excellent staff, friendly, and helpful. Not really cheap, but worth a visit once in a while.

This restaurant is extremely well located along the Lys river in front of the most beautiful and typical building of Ghent. On top of that, the interior decoration is really nice and romantic in every details. The hard wood floor, although beautiful, is the only caveat as you may feel every step of the waiters, depending on where you seat.... More

I loved this restaurant immediately, the interior is decorated beautifully and there is a very calming atmosphere. The food was delicious and the staff were extremely helpful, patient, and very friendly. It is a little pricey, but you definitely get what you pay for.....first class dining! I think it's the first time I've spent 4 hours in a restaurant, but... More

Opposite the Graslei this restaurant is located right in the center of Ghent. Its interior takes you back to the 18th century making it an ideal location for special occasions. Excellent food, a bit pricey but great value for money.
