The interior is beautifully atmospheric, with a period feel, and huge candelabra. The restaurant has a mention in Michelin, and pretensions, but alas no star. The menu is ambitious and interesting, and there are amuse bouche thrown in. We had steamed turbot, white and green asparagus, garlic crushed potatoes; and veal sweetbreads, hop sprouts, spinach and potato crisps. The cooking was regrettably rather pedestrian, with none of the wow factor that looked possible from the location and surroundings. Service was good. The bill? For the two of us, just a main & drinks, £60. Ok, but with a bit more expertise in the kitchen, this could be top class.

Louisa, Pascal, and Susie went above and beyond to insure I had an excellent experience. The Buffet was among the best, if not the best, I have ever seen. The kitchen staff hustled to keep every dish and platter fresh and filled, even on the very busy days, when the Marriott was at capacity, and every seat was filled. The two dining rooms were very comfortable, offering amazing views of the Kornmarket and canal. The full American breakfast was 32€ per person, and the Continental breakfast was 22€ per person. Compared to meal costs in Ghent, this is a great value. Midtown Grill, in the Marriott Ghent, Five Very-Well-Deserved Stars.

We found this restaurant, situated in a quieter part of the town centre, purely by accident. We…read moreweren't even sure at first that this was a restaurant, but it is. The interior is kept simple and so is the menu: we both took a daily menu consisting of starter, main course and dessert at 28 EUR a person. This is a modern cuisine without frills: they make extensive use of fresh spices and vegetables in different shapes and forms. I'm trying to recall what the starter was - it will come back - but the main course was cod over fried small potatoes (kriel aardappelen). I made a mistake with the dessert: I took cheese (which was very good) but I saw that the other dessert offered an interesting composition of green apple prepared in 3 ways: a cream, a sorbet and some finely diced pieces. Service was warm with explanation of ingredients used and openness to questions.

This place seemed very cozy and fancy, with candles on tables and fairy lights, and people seemed to be having a great time. Moreover, it served a traditional Flemish beef stew, so I walked right on in! Fortunately, they were able to squeeze me in for an hour. I ordered the Flemish beef stew, which had around 6-8 chunks of beef and a small dill-flavoured side salad. It also came with a plate of fries - and when offered the mayo, I instantly accepted to try things the "Belgian" way. The stew was good at first bite, but I grew tired of it halfway through. It was very salty and strong of acidic red wine, and some of the beef chunks were still tough and under braised. The fries were a bit soggy and too thin to be considered typically Belgian fries. For 30 EUR, it was slightly disappointing... but it appears most things in Ghent are quite expensive. The servers there are quite young but very kind and welcoming. I had no issues with the service. What irked me the most was the water situation. I felt pressured to order something, so asked for water. Out came a 20mL glass bottle - just enough for 4 sips of water - and they charged me a whopping 3.5 EUR for this tiny baby. Unbelievable... left a bad taste in my mouth.
