Staff is really friendly and helpful when it comes to choosing the right dishes. The stuffed portobello mushroom was amazing as well as their grilled shrimp and croquettes. The sangria pairs nicely with great company and the great outside view!!

We just had our Thanksgiving dinner here. Our family of 6 could not say enough good things about…read morethe food and service. We selected this restaurant as we wanted something different and the selection was terrific. The paella and zucchini chips that were the specials this evening were terrific. Paella just as we would order at the Portuguese restaurants we frequent at home. The zucchini chips were fried to perfection- so good we placed a second order. The cheese plate was also really good as was the chorizo entree. The lamb kebabs and the lamb chop social this evening were also very good. We like the la my chops medium and that's exactly how they were served. We had time to chat with the owner, who's had the place for about 2.5 years. Please try the restaurant and if local frequent it - it's that good. The Location on the riverbank is also a plus.

Great ambiance good service and delicious food. We took the tapas menu and it was more than good.read more

A very upscale corner restaurant that also caters to families. We had reservations on a Saturday…read morenight, which we thought we would definitely need, but the place was mostly empty. In any case, we were able to converse without difficulty. We started with a few starting drinks (the RoomeR, and the Apero Maison) and shared an order of cheese croquettes. The bread basket was also welcome and interesting. For our mains, we ordered a few Belgian beers as well as a G&T made with the local gin, to pair with the chicory with cheese sauce and ham, and the entrecote. The food took a long time to arrive, and although well plated, it was nothing special unfortunately. The entrecote in particular was a very poor cut of beef having at least 1/3 of it entirely comprised of gristle and fat. For dessert we shared a Crème brûlée. All in all, it was less than we had hoped for, but the cocktails were excellent.

Came based on the yelp reviews. They are very wrong. Not only are the tapas not good, some are…read moreactually gross. I agree with another commenter that stated the food is cheap and not good quality at all. The warm chorizo had no flavor or spiciness. The bruschetta with tempenade had a strong fishy flavor. The free bread offered is stale, cheap, flavorless white bread. Other downsides: this is not a clean place. There are splatters of food across the walls and menus. The menu is a laminated piece of paper, two actually. They can't be bothered to consolidate and reprint new menus. It is very dark and the night we visited, VERY loud. There is a three tapa minimum per person- yet another sign the of a cheap place.

Not many options in Gent for a remotely American style breakfast, so we were happy to come upon…read moreBodega's on our walk from the center of town to the train station. As of November, 2018 the place has been open for two years. The energetic and kind host welcomed us in, and we sat at a pleasant two-top with a view of the boulevard and passers-by. Eggs Benedict was listed as a house specialty, so we gave it a try. At €9, it was a little small (only half the size of a typical Benedict. More aptly named "Egg Benedict," it comes with just one egg, a single strip of bacon, and perfectly sauteed spinach on a single hearty piece of toast) - but the flavors were excellent. Instead of the usual hollandaise used in the US, which I find a bit bland, Bodega's serves a richer bechamel. This worked wonderfully. We also shared a €7.50 Greek yogurt and granola. Note that granola in Europe means a slightly different cereal- more like what we call muesli. Toasted and nicely flavored rolled oats with nuts and a bit of dried fruit, but without the clusters we typically see. It's quite tasty and similar to granola, but less crunchy. Good value. Coffee was typical European excellent. We had cafe con leche (coffee with milk). One of those will wake you right up. Total cost was €22. Not much more than we'd pay at a cafe at home, but far higher quality. Four stars; a great score by my standard.
