M20***48:“The most popular restaurant in Ghent! The wine is colorful, refreshing, strong, and makes you feel dizzy. Life is beautiful. The ham for appetizers is fragrant and chewy. The side dishes are colorful and varied. The main course is delicious. The chicken and fish are smooth and glutinous. The quantity is enough to exceed the imagination of French cuisine. However, you must use the seasoning on the table to make it more delicious! Dessert after the meal is the essence of Belgian chocolate! The colors and flavors are different. When the knife falls, the castle magma chocolate in the middle slides down. The warm and strong fragrance is like the ethereal fragrance of coffee, which is fascinating and endless aftertaste...”

TheForkUser:“We had a really good dinner here yesterday. Food was amazing, service was super friendly (we tried our very best Italian and the waitress even helped us with it). As the staff is all Italian you hear cosy Italian talking, as if you were in Italy yourself. We will be back for sure!!”
