Mosquito Coast is a restaurant centrally located in Ghent. It has a large menu with lots of options from around the world (e.g., chips & salsa & guacamole - Mexico / southern USA, Indian samosas (delicious), Japanese yakitori, Thai meatballs, Lebanese falafel and more). The samosas were so good we ordered four plates of them whereas the calamari a la romana and shrimp scampi, both deep fried, were average. Their large menu also includes lots of drinks - cocktails, mocktails, beer (incl. alcohol-free) and wine and other liqueur. The fresh ginger tea was a highlight! Of note, Mosquito Coast is known for its cocktails. It has indoor and outdoor seating including a terrace upstairs, an inner courtyard and street seating. Service is attentive and friendly and it’s possible to reserve a table online. That’s also where to find the menu. Recommend Mosquito Coast when in Ghent city center looking for a large venue with indoor and outdoor seating and when you’re undecided on what type of food to eat. There’s definitely something for everyone at Mosquito Coast. And as we went with locals, we were pleased to see the majority other guests were also locals and they all gave a thumbs up.

I had a pleasant experience here, but it could’ve been even better. The interior is unique and you keep discovering fun details whilst looking around. The staff was friendly and took our order quickly. No remarks about that! The food itself was mediocre. I’ve tried the moussaka before and I really enjoyed that dish. This time around I tried the vegetarian stew. I didn’t like it at all. The vegetarian meat was tasty, but the sauce was way too sweet for my liking. It tastes a lot like cinnamon. I also tried the regular stew and I loved the taste of that stew. I do have to commend the restaurant on their array of (vegetarian) dishes. It’s nice to see a restaurant be this inclusive. They also offer kangaroo steak, which is something you can’t easily find in other restaurants in Ghent. This place isn’t expensive, but it isn’t cheap either. The price-quality relationship is good tho’. This place is ideal for a fun night of eating out with friends!

Recently visited Mosquito Coast in Ghent and had a wonderful experience. The service was top-notch with attentive and friendly staff who made us feel welcome. The ambience was warm and inviting, enriched by travel-themed decor that added a unique touch to the atmosphere. The venue was spotless, including the restrooms, which is always a positive sign. We were pleased to find it dog-friendly, with a bowl of water already set out for our pooch. A word of advice: it's best to book in advance. They may turn you away even if the venue appears to have empty tables. The menu offered a nice variety of unusual dishes, all well-prepared, along with a list of specials for the day. The selection of wine, beer, and soft drinks was impressive. The inside offers multiple seating areas, from a casual bar lounge to a charming roof terrace, accommodating different preferences. Overall, a great spot worth visiting. Highly recommended!

La Peor Experiencia de mi Vida

Contextualizo: El pasado día 12 de octubre de este 2024, Fuy a MOSQUITO COAST con un grupo de amigos que solemos viajar juntos desde Madrid. Lógicamente hicimos reserva por tratarse de tantos comensales. La llegada al Restaurante fue cuanto menos curiosa, dado que había un encargado o algo así, que nos dirigió a nuestra “zona” de cenar con poca simpatía, junto a la escalera de los Baños. Obviamente nos dirigimos a “nuestra” zona un tanto extrañados por el mal carácter de este señor! Cosa que no tomamos en cuenta ya que nosotros somos 27 turistas con ganas de disfrutar de la gastronomía local, así como de sus laureadas bebidas. Como teníamos concertado la cena que tomaríamos, nos la trajeron unas camareras muy amables y simpáticas, la primera cerveza belga, además de la comida. A los pocos minutos de empezar a probar la comida, un compañero de mesa, se comenzó a sentir indispuesto. Lógicamente al ver que se estaba poniendo blanco me dispuse a acompañarle al Baño para que se lavara un poco la cara con agua por que se estaba empezando a poner con mal semblante y medio desvanecido, aquejándose de espasmos en la parte abdominal. Justo en ese momento el “encargado del restaurante” o lo que quiera que sea este señor. Me prohíbe la subida a la zona de los Baños e indicándome casi gritando que me fuera del restaurante. Y haciendo gestos de fuera. (Yo no hablo inglés!) pero hubo alguien que si le dijo que solo queríamos subir al Baño por que se encontraba indispuesto. Este señor, cada vez más agresivo seguía increpándonos, tanto, que hasta se puso en medio de la escalera para impedirnos el paso hacia los baños. Por lo que de la mejor manera que pudimos, salimos al exterior. Mi compañero que se me desvanecía en los brazos, solo pudo andar unos pocos pasos hacia adelante. Y termino por arrojar en la fachada de enfrente. Cuando a los minutos pareció encontrarse un poco mejor. Intente entrar a pedir un vaso con agua para mi amigo. Y de malas maneras tampoco se me dejo pasar. Incluso un cliente que estaba en la terraza sentado, le empezó a traducir a la camarera y está se negó nuevamente. Finalmente, los demás comensales salieron después de pagar toda la cuenta (incluida la de mi amigo y la mía, pese a no haberla disfrutado!) A la vuelta a España, mi amigo se puso en manos médicas y afortunadamente quedó en algo menor (yo no revelo su estado, así como su desenlace en quirófano, por salvaguardar su intimidad!)

Así pues, después de este mal trato tan denigrante, poco humano, mal educado, poco profesional, incoherente, detestable, violento, y abusivo por parte de este señor. Así como de los demás empleados que siguiendo sus instrucciones, no actuaron de forma correcta con un enfermo. Pido a sus superiores su sustitución inminente y a los lectores de estas líneas que opten por no ir a este sitio. Que aunque bonito, céntrico y con buenas propuestas gastronómicas… la experiencia es la peor sufrida en un restaurante en mi vida. Y solo le deseo a este “señor” que nunca a el, o algún amigo o familiar, le nieguen el auxilio en un restaurante y le saquen como si de un perro se tratara. En fin, una experiencia que ha empañado la excelente imagen que teníamos de este país y sus gentes. No volveré!

The Worst Experience of my Life

So, after this degrading, inhumane, rude, unprofessional, incoherent, detestable, violent, and abusive mistreatment by this gentleman. As well as by the other employees who, following his instructions, did not act correctly with a sick person. I ask his superiors to replace him immediately and to the readers of these lines to choose not to go to this place. Although it is nice, central and has good gastronomic proposals... the experience is the worst I have ever had in a restaurant. And I only wish this "gentleman" that he, or any friend or family member, is never denied assistance in a restaurant and thrown out like a dog. In short, an experience that has tarnished the excellent image we had of this country and its people. I...

I was sitting at a table opposite the bar given by the waiter at the entrance at 6PM. First I was not served a drink for almost 15 mins until I stood up and reminded the bartender myself. Then after half hour or so when i had a 2 non alcoholic drink and one dish of tapas the waitress came to me and said since only main courses are served on this table you will need to move to another area of the restaurant. I said am feeling very hot and I would like to sit under fan and continue to sit on the same table. Only these particular 3 tables had a fan on the ceiling. I also said I would like order another tapas and beer. The waitress with the curly hair and glasses did not serve me anything after that and I just payed the bill and left the place. This was very unacceptable, highly unprofessional, down right bullying and shameless. I think it showed lack of proper training and guideline to staff members. I would ask customers to be aware this kind of behaviour next time. They also mischarged me on my bill for 2.5 euros extra after I caught the waitress she gave me back cash with a smirk. (This is the...
