ALFONS — Restaurant in Ghent

We went because of the suggestion in maps but unfortunately we were all disappointed by our meals. But an important point before that is tiwe waited about an hour for our meals... Then we received our food: the beef tartare was very bland, and missed sides or herbs to make it a bit more tasty (it's one of my favourite dishes usually so I've tasted many better than this one). Likewise, the beef medallions were ok but again a bit tasteless. The pepper sauce was both very salty and sugary, maybe bc of the cream? It tasted odd. All in all it was not very bad, but considering the prices we were expecting much better quality! We don't mind paying more for good dishes, but this wasn't it unfortunately. (Edit: I looked again at the other pictures posted, and we had NONE of that! We had empty and sad looking plates, and I see other photos with very nice looking presentation. Maybe we weren't lucky and didn't have the usual chef??)

In terms of decor, the furniture is ok, but the deco is a little disparate, with too different styles for tables, bar, dishes, etc. All in all a disappointment, I...

We ate there on Saturday 30 September 2023. The restaurant has open kitchen so we could see that there was only one person working in the kitchen!!!!! As a result, everybody had to wait more than an hour to eat because the restaurant was full.! We had to wait almost 2 hours!!! I will definitely...

Applausphonsius zou een toepasselijke naam zijn voor deze brasserie. Gisteren voor de eerste maal geweest. We kwamen met 5 eten en hadden gereserveerd via Social Deal (een eerste keer dat we dit deden). Wat een gezellig kader. Je voelt je onmiddellijk thuis, de sfeer is heel ongedwongen. We krijgen ruim de tijd om kiezen. De kaart is niet overdreven groot, maar er is voor elk wat wils. Goede keuze, vind ik persoonlijk. Er wordt, in tegenstelling tot andere zaken, niet gezegd dat we maar x-aantal verschillende gerechten mogen nemen. Nee, compleet vrije keuze, zoals het hoort! Bovenop al dat positiefs, was het eten zelf dan ook nog magnifiek lekker en mooi gepresenteerd. En de bediening was super! Samengevat: gezellig, topbediening, heel lekker eten. Conclusie:...
