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.

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.

So while roaming around gent I managed to randomly find this restaurant and it was offering Flemish…read morefood. Hey, if you're traveling, you gotta try their traditional dishes right? Flemish stew of pig cheeks - 3.5 star I've never had this dish before so have no comparison but a lot of people around us were ordering this dish. I myself thought this dish was okay but my husband liked it. I could taste the alcohol in this dish or something of that sort which is probably why I didn't like it too much. Waterzooi with chicken soup- 4 star. This thing is huuuuuuuuuuuuge. You can probably share it between 3 people and get full. First time eating it and it was quite delicious. The soup is cream based and I mean a lot of watery cream, so the stomach can handle so much. I had about two big bowls and couldn't do it any more. Both signature dishes come with a side of croquettes or frites. We ordered the croquettes which were good, but average croquettes with no bells and whistles. They offer ham and cheese croquettes which I think could be amazing. Service was super slow as there were only two waiters working the entire place it seemed and this place was packed in both first and second floor. It's worth trying just to try a traditional Flemish dish at least once in your life.

This fantastic cosy bistro somehow manages to stay fairly quiet despite being well placed for all…read moreof Ghent's tourist traffic, being on the waterfront just round the corner from the main square. The extensine beer list is 'borrowed' from the Waterhuis bar next door- if you order a beer, the person serving you will pop out from that building into the pub next door and fetch it for you, at the same price. It's more comfy than the Waterhuis so we stayed here all evening, sampling the beers from next door... The food menu was fairly basic, and if you're not keen on fish or allergic to seafood then you're left with beef stew, and that's it. Luckily, the beef stew was very, very good. Between the slow-cooked stew, rich desserts and the great range of beer, and with no apparent pressure to order or leave being applied, this turned out to be a great and quite romantic place to spend a whole Ghent evening. The best restaurant in Ghent for sure.

This place is huge. It is very nice inside. Staff were very busy but did a nice job keeping up. Prices were pretty standard for the area. We had a great time and people were nice. I wouldn't say the locals sitting next to us went out of their way to be cordial which is odd for us. Typically people strike up a conversation with us. We tried but it was a no go. I think they were angry we were sitting in "their" seats. LOL. Too bad friend, get there early or have the reserves sign in place earlier. Definitely recommend you stop by.

This is a true locals place... Waitstaff are very welcoming and speak Dutch, French, and English from what I could pick up. Food was amazing! We had toasted bread with two different tapenades, tapas style potatoes with a delicious dipping sauce for starters. Angus steak with fresh pesto, some sort of croquettes, and a delicious mix of pan roasted shallots, baby cabbage, and cherry tomatoes. My wife had a Thai beef salad with pomegranate and mint...all delicious! This place has an extensive drinks list, and the person who served us was happy to suggest a couple of beers from the region. We would definitely come again!

I asked for the wifi password, and the bartender told me it's the capital of Australia instead of telling me what exactly the pw is (which is cinberra). The decors here are super cute yet exotic, there are tons of traveling books on the bookshelf as well. The beer that my bro ordered for 4 euro was excellent as well. They also have seats on the patio upstairs, so it's nice when it's sunny too. There are also plenty of seats in the back as well, tho I prefer the sofa area. It's a good spot to get wifi or rest in the middle of your trip.

Went here for my sister's birthday (her pick)…read more We started with house champagne and then ordered starters. These took a while to arrive, but were very good in quality. I had the duo of pork croquettes, my dad had the laqued pork belly and my sister had the bone marrow. Now, while everything was very nice, the portions of certain items (the bone marrow specifically, 4 bones is a bit much as a starter) were definitely on the larger side of things. Meanwhile wine was ordered too and we had a nice Spanish red wine. I ended up getting the Entrecôte of Simmental as a main, which again was on the large side (managed to finish about half of it). It was perfectly cooked though. The fries and salad weren't much to write home about though (neither was the chicory salad according to my dad). Didn't bother with dessert as I was already full. One other remark I have is that the temperature in the restaurant was definitely on the warm side. I was sitting in a T-shirt and was still sweating.

Our large group opted for the 4 different type sampler which was a lot of fun. The server explained each of the choices beforehand and again when served. As suggested we rotated trying a bite of each before the next and the differences were not subtle. We each had our personal favorite which I won't share as they were all great. Beyond the steak, service, and nice decor, the rest of the meal was ok. Fries were acceptable but not memorable. Go for the meat. You won't be disappointed.
