Used to be a solid option after they took over from te previous owner. It was a true pub vibe. Drink and have the option to eat. Walk-in only. 2 years later it turned into a restaurant where reservations are needed, upon walking for just a drink you get the excuse that the available tables are 'reserved' and an frustrated face. We proposed to sit outside on the part of the terrace that wasn't 'open', after 2hrs and a rainshower we didn't see a single person at either table that was available inside. Not did staff come and propose to us to move to these tables. Food has steadily increased in price versus opening and not only by the inflation.

Still a solid spot for food and drinks provided you make a reservation, but not a go to anymore for me. Gentrification...

Ok, Really enjoyed the meal, Typical Belgian food, Local owners and servers. Just can't go wrong with the Gent culture. So well displayed here. Mussels (in season, mid July like till end of August), we had the steak "au Poivre" as well. Couple great coctails and a perfect coffe to finish. Sorry, I don't eat dessert but the choices are there. Place was busy and after having aperitif on the patio looking over the square we entered at the tail end of the dinner seating. So, we waited a minute to get opur food, but that's just ok. As I said ... It was well communicated and couldn't have expected...
