Brasserie Paradijs — Restaurant in Ghent

My experience in this place was one of the worst I ever had in one café or restaurant. The staff was even worst than the food.

Maybe I just had a particular evening but the light background music really further set the tone. It went perfect with the decor and food. Great addition.
