Tapasbar La Malcontenta — Restaurant in Ghent

I really enjoyed eating here, the place is genuine and the food is tasteful. It’s a small restaurant, so book a table before coming. It’s a tapas bar and we were in a big group, so we had the chance to try every single dish on the menu, and none disappointed. Special mention to the albondigas and the octopus.
