TA your reviewers are under scoring this restaurant. Two locals said it was the best in town and we had the best meal of our ten day trip around France, Holland and Belgium here on our last night. The converted wharehouse is a bit like the Floral Hall at Covent Garden and makes for a wonderful location - with no... More

Our visit to the Brasserie Restaurant Pakhuis came on the last evening of a memorable 4-day visit to Ghent, where our visual senses and our stomachs had received more than ample sustenance. To call the evening a disappointment hardly hints at the meaning of the word. Because my wife, my daughter and I had eaten well throughout our stay, we... More

I have already written a quite positive review on this restaurant. I remembered the past experience and I went again with some friends. I was quite disappointed. We spent around 40 euros each, and most of us had only a main dish. Furthermore, even though the place was not full at all, we had to wait about 1 h and... More

We went here with a group and got a nice table a bit secluded. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. Drinks arrived quickly and as we were waiting for more of our group to join there was no pressure to order. Good first impression. When we were complete we ordered our food. Most of us decided just to have... More

This is one of my favourites because of the building. Food is good. I liked the possibility to order a glass of wine with each dish. Service started well, but became really slow when the restaurant was getting busy. We decided to skip our coffee and leave. Make sure you make reservations up front! It can be busy.

We found this restaurant after asking several locals. It was booked when we arrived but were told we could have a table as long as we left by 8:15 (we got there at 6). So were shown to a great table in a big, spacious room. Two levels, beautiful bar. Food excellent. There are ala carte as well as special... More

We went for dinner at this well-known Ghent restaurant with a foreign friend a few months ago and it was an OK experience. The food is very good, but due to the old building, the acoustics are poor. We could hardly understand each other at the table. The staff is well trained but very anonymous. This restaurant is really a... More
