Yakasobi fries
Kimberly W.

I visited their opening and there was plenty of seats, but by the time I was seated and it's been 15 minutes in there was a huge line and there are no seats available. People are taking it to go or eating outside. So come by when it's early and just opening, if you wanna get a seat indoors. I got their yakisoba/yakitori? limited time fries. I'm not sure how I feel about them because of the wasabi, but I think if it did not have the wasabi, it would've been delicious. I'm just not a huge fan of wasabi and I don't think it should've been included in these fries, as I feel like wasabi is an acquired taste, and may not be for most people.

Picking up!

If you are wandering around Ghent, you need to stop into this establishment. Their fries are hands down delicious!!! You have several different options with sauce to dip and man... you will not be disappointed. If you visit during the winter like we did, inside will definitely be cozier. They even have an upstair seating area. During nicer weather, outside would be optimal. I can imagine how beautiful this place would be during the Spring season. Back to the fries... Basil Parmesan... wow. Flavor town all around. You opt for other unique options too. Nice thing about this spot is their operational setup. Orders are pretty quick after you place them. Stop on in and grab a beer and fries. You won't regret it.

Beef stew fries (can't remember the exact name but it's their classic)

These were solid frites! They aren't anything I would go out of my way to get again, but were enjoyable. We got the Flemish beef stew fries. The flavor was good. We also tried the plain fries and tried all their sauces. The classic sauce is a unique white sauce. I really enjoyed the andalouse combined with the truffle sauce. The sauces are self serve. It was packed sans there was a line of probably 20 people. It didn't take too long though...maybe 20 min to get our fries. We were lucky to grab a tiny table for 2. But overall it felt hectic. Not a place to have relaxing meal.

This chain restaurant serves the best fries in Belgium. Yes, the elegant interior design and the fancy sauce dispensers are awesome, but the most important thing, the fries, are utterly amazing. Once you bite into their perfectly fried delicately-cut fries, you world will change. My recommendation is a purist approach and just get plain fries and a couple different sauces to experience greatness. On your return visit, get something unique like the Flemish Beef Stew.

Great frites and perfect for a power snack to fuel the day while touring Gand (Ghent). This is a chain throughout Bruxelles but doesn't mean it's not good. We enjoyed the fries here and the variety of flavored mayo. That's right, in this region (Netherlands too) fries with mayo not ketchup. The mayo is lighter than American-style mayonnaise and comes in flavors, flavors that one can't imagine but fun to try. Due to location and popularity, the fries are constantly made fresh out of the frier and topped with whatever topping you order. Beef stew was our favorite. Can get very long lines and not enough seating, but the crowds come and go. If you're in Ghent give this a try.

Came across this place while sightseeing in Gent so stopped by for some fries. The service is super quick and the fries were ready in a few minutes as they have a bunch of tourists coming in every few minutes. Because of the crowd the server messed up our order but she corrected it super quickly. The fries were so good with the sauces. You can pick any sauce so we got truffle and classic sauces. There is seating area downstairs and upstairs but if it's too crowded, you have to wait a few minutes for seats. Otherwise it's a nice place to take a break in from sightseeing and exploring Gent.

This is a tourist trap but a good one. Trust me, you would want to get trapped here. I went with the flemish stew on top of my frites. The line can be offputting but It moved very quickly. You should definitely stop by.

Frites with beef stew

Frites were crisp with a savory beef stew. Tiny mustard seeds and a fresh herb sprinkled on top.

Beautiful small shop. Very limited menu. Good food but as others have mentioned a bit overpriced. Truffle mayonnaise good but not memorable.

Groot Vleeshuis - Interior - those are real hams that are hanging!

Groot Vleeshuis

This former butcher's hall is a great space, and very well matched with the fare they now serve…read more I went with the blood sausage, and it did not disappoint. It was piled high with slices of ham and cooked apples. Pork is one of the specialties here, and the whole dish was very good. The distinctive taste of the sausage filling should be savored. I also had the opportunity to taste the waterzooi, a stew with a cream sauce. It was tasty. I would highly recommend this restaurant, if you find yourself in Ghent.

Groot Vleeshuis is a historic building which used to be the meat market long time ago. Now it's…read morebeen converted into a restaurant, and the cool part about this place (other than the history) is that they have real Flanders ham hanging and drying from the ceiling! You don't have to be eating there to walk through the restaurant to see the ham! After going on a free walking tour, I was starving, so I came to eat lunch here. There are tables in an inside area that's inside of the building (sounds confusing, but when you see it you'll know what i'm talking about), but sitting in the area where the hams are hanging is a lot more fun. You just grab any table and a server will come to you. It's a hopping place for brunch/lunch - they have salads and toast and omelettes, and of course lots of beer options. I wanted to try something local and so I ordered the waterzooi, which is this cream/egg based stew with chicken and potatoes and other veggies. The dish originated in Gent. And since I was at the old Butcher's Hall, I wanted to try some ham. They had a meat tasting dish that came with four different meats. The meat sampler came with Superano ham, Ganda ham, Breydelham, and Gentse kop. My favorites were the Superano and the Ganda - they tasted like prosciutto. The Breydelham tasted like regular ham. The kop was my least favorite - it's basically a pork product made of parts of the pig like the head. I guess it's kind of like spam, but not as tasty. The sampler came with some kind of mustard for dipping the meat in! The waterzooi was tasty and hearty and it was huge!!! It had generous chunks of chicken and yummy potatoes. I like the light creamy flavor. I couldn't finish it because it was too much food. The service was great except it was hard when I tried to pay and leave. My original server was very busy with this large party that was there and he was bringing out dishes two at a time by himself. I finally got the attention of the girl server who was clearing a different table and she came by but when I tried to pay with my credit card, she said I had to go inside to the bar area to pay. So I went and paid and the girl who took care of that for me said it was like some kind of special customer day and gave me this little bottle of a pickled dip for eating meat with! There is free wifi! And there's a restroom, but you need a code to get there!

The restaurant is in the middle of town within a few blocks to the main town square. The menu has pictures of the nunnery attire, maybe how they brewed their own beer? They only had it in Dutch, no English menu. Food: 3/5. Bland food, which is not uncommon for Flemish cuisine, but meat was also quite tough. We tried the 2 most popular dishes, Brochette Oud Clooster, and Rundsstoverij met Westmalle Dubbel, and were not impressed. Both bland. The brochette was supposed to be medium rare but came out well done. Dry and tough. The dipping sauce has a hint of curry but wasn't enough to carry the whole dish. The stew has a yummy base, I could pick out the beer flavors (Belgians truly have the best beers in the world). Meat pieces were tough, which is a shame given this is a stew. They should have use a fattier cut of beef like chuck. Meme Gusta has a similar but much more flavorful Flemish stew. The no-bake cheese cake was light and refreshing. Good for 1 person, small to share between 2. Service: 2/5. They had no English menu. At this point I have come to Belgium enough to pick out a few familiar terms, but I would have liked to be able to see what other dishes they had. Had to aggressively flag down waiter whenever we needed something. they also charge €1.80 for tap water. This place is popular enough even for locals that one can't get in without reservations. We were told they only have 2 slots: 6-8 or 8-10. We picked the earlier one. The restaurant was only half full until about 7.
