Restaurant itself is nice, with a good outside sitting area as well as a large indoor area. Food: I had gray shrimp croquettes and waterzooi fish, both traditional Ghent dishes. Croquettes could have had a bit more shrimp (they didn't say any thing about % of shrimp like some restaurants so I assume less than 45%). €10 per piece, so quite expensive. Fish stew was DELICIOUS! If it wasn't €28 could eat that stew for days Service: meh. They were only half full, but took awhile to get beverages and food. Had to remind the wait staff a few times. One unfortunate thing is because of the high Asian tourists in the restaurant, who were noisy and rude (taking pictures of EVERYTHING including restaurant patrons), the experience wasn't great. I left as soon as I could.

We were seated inside where it was sweltering and the guy at the table next to us seemed miserable. We were rushed by a pushy woman and told we had to give her our entire order right then, we couldn't just out our drink orders in while we were looking. At that point my wife and I decided to just get drinks and an appetizer and not even bother with entrees, since I was already wanting to leave this awful place. Then the waitress said no, you can't just order drinks and an appetizer. AYFKM?! We got up and left. Avoid this overpriced tourist trap!

Came here on a rainy evening, seeking shelter from the spitting rain. Since I was only in Ghent for…read moreone night, I wanted to find some traditional Belgian fare. 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.

We found this place by accident, we were wandering around and suddenly The huge luminous red "BAR" sign caught us as flies. Cute and multilingual servers: check.

Well ...you don't have this everywhere) then you don't do this everyday so a bit of sparkle feel good. A place I will definitely return more often and that I recommend for sure!!!

Everything was perfectly delectable. The restaurant itself is smaller with a nice ambience and excellent service. The wait from the small kitchen is a bit longer, but the food is worth the wait.

You have the option of taking the stairs up the three levels or riding an elevator most of the way. On each of the levels you can learn something about the tower or the bells. They had a nice video describing how the bells were made. My rating is a bit low based on the fact that there was very little English descriptions in the exhibit, but you could BUY an English guidebook. If you have an android phone there is a free app as well, but my iPhone and I were SOL. It was also a bit sparse as far as material in general, and we've had better on our Europe vacation. My opinion is, if you've done the castle, you get there view there and can probably skip this guy.
