Uilenspiegel — Restaurant in Ghent

UPDATE AGAIN: The manager replied and said they were closing. That’s not true. We were told to ordered dinner. A bottle of wine and dessert would have been more then we paid on the several occasions we got dinner. You weren’t closing. We were there 3 hours before closing. You simply made a mistake and we won’t be back. Don’t lie to make things better

UPDATE: Went back to get a bottle of wine and dessert. The manager said we needed to order food (dessert isn’t food?) in order for us to sit at one of the 14 EMPTY tables. I live next door but and have been here several times already but, I’ll never go back -

Came here last night for the mussels and French fries. Both really good. The staff was friendly though they were slow and the restaurant was trendy and nice. We will be back for wine...

Amazing experience! The restaurant is located in a very charming square, perfect for enjoying a relaxed meal. I had a great beer and an absolutely magnificent steak tartare — the flavors were incredible, very well balanced. I especially loved the mini onions they added; they gave a nice touch to the dish. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere made the whole experience even better....

I`ve been coming here for years. Different owners for a while now but they kept same values. Nice place where you can enjoy classic lunch and your occasional more local dish. Tastful meals, nice presentation and very kind staff. A stonethrow away from historic city centre and commerce. A very good option to get some extra energy on your day...
