Very good service and good food. A nice atmosphere. Three course set menu and wine for two for 116 euros including service.

The restaurant gets extremely busy so service was slow to the point that we considered leaving. By the end of the meal we were so happy that we hadn't. My wife had the mussels (she is something of an afficionado) and declared them to be the best she had ever tasted, I had the Flemish stew and had the same... More

We have often eaten at this delightful, family run restaurant. The food is excellent, the service outstanding and the atmosphere intimate. Of course we shall return.

My husband booked this as a present for us and it is definitely a place you need to book as there were no walk in places available. We chose the set 5 course menu with wine for €49 euros each and we were glad we did. The wine was always refilled and the starters delicious. Not sure if it is... More

Though i would not call this the best restaurant in Ghent, I really loved the fresh food and nice service. The atmosphere was ok but could be better - not so cosy. In the end, we had a nice experience, but I don't feel the urge to go over there soon again.

We had the fixed saturday menu and the Carpaccio of beef was melt in the mouth stuff, the soup excellent, the pheasant cooked to perfection and the Creme Brulee... More

Valentijn is a cosy restaurant in a lovely old building in the center of town. The hostess makes you feel welcome and is effortlessly efficient at her job. The 4-course set menu including aperitif, wine and coffee for €53 is a good deal. The food is good old-fashioned Belgian-French cuisine. Not too fancy stuff with extravagant ingredients cluttered all over... More

During a weekend at Ghent we choose this restaurant as we wanted to dine in a semi-casual atmosphere, but eat sophisticated food. This restaurant offered only a single menu, with every course having 2 choices, which is actually nice - as there is no stress of choosing between 100's of options. In addition, it guarantees quality, as the chef is... More
