Items Ordered: Coffee Wood Roasted Apple Juice Pain aux Chocolat Kouign Amann Housemade Copa, House Churned Butter, Sourdoiugh, Danish Cheese, House Confiture Egg Skillet with Foraged Mushrooms, Leeks, Woodland Herbs, Hard Cheese Spelt Bread with Jam and Frangipane Bread Pudding Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter Puddle Cookies Owned by Kobe Desramaults, the man whose announced pending closure of In de Wulf took the world by surprise in late 2015, De Superette in Gent immediately jumped to the top of a culinary "to-do" list the minute reservations were secured for his Michelin 1* restaurant in Dranouter, the meal enjoyed just past 09h00 every bit as memorable as the one to be had near the French border later that evening. Truly an all-day operation, lunch and dinner offered along with breakfast while several bakers arrive before dawn to make sure leavening items are progressing while preparing the wood ovens for a busy day, De Superette sees Desramaults teaming with two other with a focus on high quality organic breads baked in the old tradition, the execution truly remarkable with such dedication that the restaurant actually generates embers for the grill from the wood used to heat the oven made of stone. A relaxing space with a kitchen that gives those interested the opportunity to see nearly every aspect of bread production, as well as unique things like apples being roasted over direct flame to make apple juice or jam, De Superette takes the traditional "coffee house" vibe to new levels with tableside service as well as grab n' go options, both investigated to the fullest over the course of a 60 minute stay. Opting for the complete breakfast in addition to several pastries it was with WiFi barely logged into that the first of several items began to arrive and with good coffee served black via pour-over next to rosy Apple Juice first bites of the Kouign Amann sent the mind spinning - questions arising as to whether any previously experienced even came close to this degree of caramelization atop melted butter, the answer a resounding no after subsequent bites while the Pain aux Chocolat was equally archetypical with a robust shell overlying arches of lamination around pipelines of melted dark chocolate. Deciding savories were in order, the meat, cheese and butter all made either in-house or at In de Wulf, a board of Copa, Butter, Sourdough, Soft Cheese and Confiture soon arrived next to a scalding cast-iron skillet with two runny eggs topped in foraged Mushrooms, Leeks, Woodland Herbs and hard Cheese added after baking with each taste showing the benefits of passion and product sourcing as the pork literally melted on the tongue while the makeshift scramble was woodsy with a great juxtaposition of textures whether placed on Toast or eaten by itself. Taking the rest to go, a total bill just under €30 a bit pricey but worth every cent, it was later that afternoon that four more items were enjoyed as a snack and although the streets of Bruges were a slightly different scene than the dining room at Guldenspoorstraat 21 the results were no less impressive as both cookies felt like someone had upgraded American ingredients simply by trying harder, the Bread Pudding filled with all sorts of texture from fruit, nuts, chocolate and custard while the toothsome Spelt Bread saw Frangipane's sweetness put to good use overlying a thin layer Berry Jam. read more

Fantastic location and delicious food! We followed a local insider tip and were lucky to get the last available table for the night. The service was very welcoming and hospitable. We order three different dishes: beetrootsalat, aged lamb and chicken with aiolie. All three very delicate dishes with a lot of different flavored. We had heard that the bread was homemade and indeed it was lovely! The beer and cider that we ordered were good beverages and all very well! You would have to know that: dishes here are quite small, they are being served in pairs, for everyone to pick from. The location is very modern and stunning: open kitchen, large oven and odd plates. It is quite pricy here, yet the quality of the food makes it worthwhile. read more

De Superette - Bakeries Near Me - Gent, VOV

Let's start with the positive things. This place is absolutely lovely, very nice decoration, cozy and warm, wood everywhere, large open space, chilling atmosphere, nice staff. My first impression was great and I was really happy to have booked a table there when visiting Ghent. From a conceptual point of view, 5 stars for sure! BUT the prices were just so crazy that at the end I left with a disappointed feeling. It was Sunday morning and we came to brunch with my mum and my sisters. There were two different brunch formulas on the menu (27euros pp or 29euros pp). We ordered 3 formulas for 4 to share because we also really wanted to try their good looking pastries afterwards. The formula included a poached egg with pumpkin, then nice cheese and meat with exactly 3 toasts (come on, does one extra piece make such a difference?!), we also got raisin loaf bread (kramiek) but without anything extra to put on it. Everything was nice but portions were small and it was very simple (as shown in pictures). Drinks were not included. Although everything tasted fine, we ended up paying 120 euros for a brunch. The value for quality is terrible! The place is very nice though so coming for a early coffee or some late drinks could be a better option. Regarding the brunch, I definitely don't recommend it. read more

Great place where all is based around their woodfired oven and great bread ! I always go here for my weekend breakfast and the only negative thing is slow service when it's busy .... read more

A bakery in Gent that does breakfast and brunch, but wait: it's not only a bakery, it's a bar, and a pizzeria and also it will tele-transport you to Brooklyn, NYC as soon as you get in. The smell of fresh bread welcomes you and that's the best part. The decor is nice, the service is in English and Dutch. Not maybe the fastest... but hey: this is a hipster place, not a fast-pace kind of place. Sorry. We had the brunch (available from 10-14h) and we had 3 different dishes to share. All of them had a baked element. Rye bread, a pizza or a cheese toast. Not abundant, and certainly not worth the price, but still super super yummi. Why one star less? It's utterly expensive. A brunch formula to share with not much food comes with 25 EUR each, plus drinks. Not a bargain if you're hungry. read more

It's quite exceptional that something new, something special is also something exceptional. But this is it! In French, there's a good description for this: SUCCULENT. The menu is limited, but you'll have a wonderful meal! We had the punch as aperitif, then a pizza, full wheat with tomatos. We had a spot at the oven, so we witnessed how everything was made. We had a nice chat with the 2 Canadians who manned the oven. Then we choose the chicken with cabbage. We had no idea this could be that good... in short: you need to go there! read more

I am a musician from New York often hubbing in Gent while touring with the American-Belgian artist Trixie Whitley. Last night, I was turned away by 3 restaurants claiming closed kitchens (2 with packed dining rooms) before lucking upon De Superette, who welcomed me despite the clock teetering on their own kitchen's last-call. Immediately, the space felt warm and inviting and I sat at the counter (where I am most comfortable when alone) and ordered a sparkling wine and browsed their efficient and creative menu. With help from a most gracious and lovely server, I settled upon a starter (smoked beans) a main (clams in broth) and a salad (grilled cucumber). All three stopped me in my tracks. I put my fork down many times and craned my neck to the exposed kitchen and watched the chefs confidently navigate their space. Before the end of my meal, one of them came out for some cling wrap (they were near closing as I mentioned) and asked how everything was. I was happy to affirm what I'm sure he already knew. In addition to the sparkling white, I also had a carignan from languedoc and a Sicilian red, both natural and delicious. The Italian was a bit drier but tasted similar in the way that natural wines do. At the end, I paid and asked (like a good American) if I could include gratuity on the card because I had no euros. She said no, but not to worry about it. I am trained to feel like a jerk in this situation, but her response was to hand me a bag of pastries "for breakfast tomorrow". As a traveler, I spend a lot of time and money in eating establishments. Finding one like this can make a trip, and De Superette did just that. Lastly, I will say that "€€€" isn't accurate and maybe reflective of what appears to be a tasting menu, private dining option. Don't let that scare you off. 3 glasses of wine, a starter, main and salad (with incredible bread) clocked in around 50€. You could easily eat there for half that, but this is as good a place as any to let loose order away. read more

Great Bakery and Pizza, lovely food and good service too! tasty and good for a snack or dinner too. Had a small selection of beers and good coffees. read more

This was great!! We went over for an early dinner and enjoyed the super (!as in Superette!) relax environment, cosy and warm, and also important, with sublime, though simple and light, different tastes of food. Inventive as can be expected from a spin off of a class restaurant. Young energetic and friendly people running it on a daily basis. Just go for it I would say! read more

The place came recommended and it's indeed a gem hidden in the not-so-touristic area of Ghent. It's a definitely must-visit, if only for the great decoration, atmosphere, friendly staff and lots of bread all around! Unfortunately we arrived a bit after 2pm, but the waitress was quick to inform us that the kitchen was closed. We were there for coffee anyway and were really happy to taste two cups of the most delicious cappuccino and Americano we've had in Belgium (not so difficult, coffee in Brussels usually sucks). However, I could not give the place 5 stars, as we were a bit disappointed on the desserts side. We ordered a chocolate brownie and a cannele, both of which were a bit dry and tasteless, probably because they had been sitting on the counter since the same morning. read more
