Food (tapas style) was solid, but the time between dishes was way too long. About 45 minutes passed between each dish, and our final two pastas took so long, we had to wrap them up to go and then didn’t eat them. When I asked (2 hours after ordering) if we could cancel the pastas, they said they were coming out “any second”. 25 minutes later, the pasta was ready. It doesn’t take 25 minutes to make pasta and dishes easily could have been canceled. Small kitchen, so I appreciate the struggle, but a 3 hour meal is too long, especially when there is so much time between dishes.

Heel lekker restaurant, gezellig ingericht. Het sharing concept is leuk en toegangkelijk. Bediening was vlot en het eten zeer lekker. Zeker aan te raden om met 2 eens lang te gaan.

We walked in without a reservation and were so lucky the chef managed to fit us in for a quick 60-minute dinner, even though the place was fully booked and a big group was coming in. The menu is made for sharing small plates of warm and cold tapas, and honestly, every dish we had was top-notch. The roasted veal with tuna mayo and the tagliata were both incredible, and even the simple cold cuts were full of flavor. Cozy vibe, great service, and unforgettable food. You can’t miss this if you’re in Ghent.
