    Gorgonzola Burger - une merveille !
    Margaux D.

    One of the Best Burger i ever eat ! In Gent for the Day my friends and i choose this restaurant for lunch. The wairdess take care of us and We are very happy to be here. The décoration is beautiful ! I love it ! Our meal arrived rapidly and it's delicious, the meat is perfectly cooked and gorgonzola fondant. The price: 12,50 € i think. It's normal for a good Burger. I very happy to choose this place and i recommand it without hesitation !

    Not typical because I'm fussy but it's still the best burger in Gent

    These are the best burgers in Gent. The course ground meat is far more like an American burger than anything else in the area. My favourite is the horse eye burger which is a bacon cheeseburger with a fried egg. My wife goes for their veggie burger, which she feels is far better than anything else offered in Gent. The place gets very busy, especially on weekends. There is seating at the bar, so you can either wait there or eat there if you're hungry. Be patient though, it's not fast food but you don't have to wait long for a basket of their chips with salsa or hummus.

    Big onion ring burger with a side of onion rings
    Anya K.

    A pretty nice burger place in Ghent, it has the hipster look, and alright food. To us, the food was a bit greasy and quite filling, leaving me pretty bloated from my meal. I got the burger with a huge onion ring inside, and a side of onion rings as well. The condiments were mayo and BBQ sauce . The staff was nice, but didn't come by too often. It was quite dark in the restaurant in the evening, so we kind of had a hard time seeing things too well. Overall, the presentation and taste were good, but I would recommend seeing some Belgian places in Ghent during your stay as well. We didn't get any cocktails, but we did order a beer - also quite tasty.

    Best burgers in Ghent and don't forget the cocktails! Staff is friendly and attentive.

    This is probably the best burger I've ever had. If you are ever in Ghent visiting you should come and taste the burger. The bacon cheese burger is 12.50 euro, it comes with potatoes or onion rings and it is well worth the price. I'll come agan soon.

Op een kleine afstand van het station (zijstraat van het geote plein) zag Bodega er gezellig uit. Buiten op het terras was heerlijk zitten en de tapas-gerechtjes waren lekker. En vriendelijke bediening. Zeker een aanrader.

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.

(yup, for real) I tried the lamb one (which was a special…read morethat month or week) and it was simply amazing: juicy and tasty meat, spicy tapenade, creamy cheese, a few fresh veggies, soft and good bun... heaven! the only thing I didn't like about it is that it didn't stick together well! quite hard to eat with your hands - and as we all know a good burger should be eaten with your hands, right... The fries were nice but nothing special. They have good belgian beers. The place itself is quite nice, modern, black-and-grey kinda atmostphere. Service was kind and efficient. A good spot!

Despite being a chain, the food and surprisingly the service was very good - and, fast. Ditto to the other yelpers, perfect location and spot for people watching when outside, but the interiors is fairly big, but I'd imagine you'd run into trouble with larger groups. I feel like this place took a page from the UK's version of "bacon" on my burger. It wasn't crispy, or fatty, it was just a round ham-like imposter. I didn't think this kind of bacon faux pas would existing in Belgium as my hotel up the way had real bacon. Despite the Bacon abnormalities - really enjoyed this place and would definitely come to another one in any of the other locations the Benelux areas.

Spare Rib is situated just across the canal from the Waterhuis, and near the castle. Try to get a table in the window so you can watch the evening unfolding outside. Starters include many varieties of croquettes, but I'd recommend something fairly light, preferably accompanied by a fruit beer. Go on, you know you want to! Ribs (as many as you can manage to eat) are served either barbequed or with honey, and come with a selection of 5 sauces, salad and a jacket potatoes or chips. Spare Rib also serves a fine steak with garlic butter. If you can squeeze anything else past your lips, then I'd recommend Julie's chocolate mousse.

Finally got food and drinks ordered, brought husbands beer and 1/2 hour later brought out my still water. Took 45 minutes to get food. Asked one server for ketchup and was told they didn't have any-- lady who sat to our left was sitting there dipping her fries in ketchup- request from a different server finally granted us ketchup. Ribs were extremely dry and not very tasty. After getting our food we didn't receive further communication from our original server-- one hour later we requested our bill from the other server. Suggest you try the more popular rib place in Ghent before making this one your choice.
