The staff at the counter were friendly and helpful as before. We watched from across the way as the kitchen prepped our seafood, yelled out my name when it was ready and walked it over to our table. This time we got the razor clams and mackerel during both visits and those were our favorite. Razor clams were still the best we've eaten to date. Mackerel perfectly pan fried with skin that easily separated. The tartar like sauce was a great complement for the fish. The octopus was cooked nicely and served in a tomato sauce with chopped veggies. The calamari rings were crisp on the outside and tender inside, a good dish but portion seemed small. As usual a tasty serving of seafood at reasonable prices.

I ordered the 1kg mussels with ham, peppers, Rochtfort Cheese and onion, side of frites and an Orval. The mussels were absolutely fantastic and had more than enough to take home. Price seemed reasonable. Rarely ever give five stars but feel this place deserves it!

Last night's dinner was packed, with all the outdoor tables full. Luckily, we were able to get a…read moretable inside. We noticed many guests ordering the paella, so we decided to try the seafood paella along with six oysters, escargot, and a salad. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the customer service was excellent. Overall, all the seafood tasted fresh and flavorful. However, the seafood in the paella was slightly overcooked, which caused it to lose some of its natural juiciness and affected the texture. Other than that, everything else was great, and we had an enjoyable dining experience. :)

I booked our table a couple weeks in advance and based on how quickly the restaurant filled up that…read moreevening I'm glad we did. Outdoor seating was the most popular but we dined inside out of the heat. Fans helped a bit but more would be better. Our server highlighted the lobster and sharing dishes but we ended up just getting paella and grilled fish. I was quite happy with the sea bream which was a substantial portion for the price. It was cooked nicely and very meaty with a mild flavor. The accompanying sides were not an afterthought since vegetables were tender, seasoned and the fried potato cylinders added a little texture. The paella was also a decent choice with lots of seafood variety but if the rice was wetter than expected and missing the browned crunchy aspect. The entrees were quite filling and we didn't have enough space for dessert. Service was as expected. One item to point out, we caught whiffs of cigarette smoke from the diners outside (via open front windows) which was a bit annoying.

This restaurant is definitely in my top 10 of best restaurants ever: they are unique and just like…read moreI like it: simple good food. If there was a sixth yelp star, I would give it to Den Beer. In general, I dislike eating lobster in a restaurant as it is typically a snobby affair and I have yet to master eating and enjoying a lobster without having it all over me. But Den Beer is super informal, it is like you go to your grammy's house to eat. The owner is 78 years old, she is a real gem: fierce but welcoming. The food itself is why I keep on coming here and keep on wanting to come back: the lobster is just DELICIOUS. I've tried several styles over the years and all are finger licking good. The lobsters are always super juicy and cooked to perfection, it would be hard to pick my favorite style as all of them are the bomb but maybe the grilled flambe with whiskey has a slight edge in my book. I truly wish Gusje, the owner, a long life and good health as I will continue to come again and again!

The owners/mangers were so welcoming and you could tell that they love what they do. The mussels were a hearty serving and so tasty (homemade Mayo). We'll definitely be coming back to this memorable spot.

So.... I like this place and would return. However, we did NOT have good mussels here. Their excuse…read morewas that it is the wrong season; they struck me as not fresh or over cooked (or perhaps a mix of those three). The steak tartar was very good. Service was very French; a little slow. Draft Maes beer on tap was fine. All-in-all, affordable and good (good frites). Their steak plate and seafood dishes that others were eating looked good as well. Indoor and outdoor seating on a nice square/plaza and slightly further down from all of the other more heavily tourists spots.

wow, what is there to not like about this place…read more first, let me tell you their service is exceptional and very friendly to tourists which is hard to get sometimes in the area. we put our name down an hr before our requested time and they were very accommodating to save us the table. we originally came for the famous moules frites. found out it was all sold out for the night and we were very disappointed. we still decided to stay and try Georges4 due to the glowing reviews. thankfully, we were not let down twice! my bf and i ended up ordering just a bowl of fish soup and the waterzooi which is a specialty at Georges. i've had waterzooi previously in Boston and wouldn't say i was a fan.. but wow, Georges' waterzooi definitely changed my impression on the dish entirely! the bowl came with 3-4 types of fish fillet accompanied by other small sea critters like baby shrimps and musles. the dish delivered such a fragrant ocean breeze and the flavors were spot on! the fish were not overcooked and simply to perfection! the fish soup was very delicious too! a little pricey but really worth it to try! it will set your benchmark for fish soup very high for future bowls lol overall, i would recommend georges IV if you're in gent! the seafood is super fresh! tip for travelers: they offer free wifi!

It was fried perfectly with an amazing crisp. The sauce was perfect with the fish and it wasn't too overpowering. The calamari was also amazing. It also went really well with the sauce and was perfectly fried. I'm not one for grilled fish. But the Pollo was really good. It still had a lot of moisture, even though it was grilled.
