Moscou By Danny Horseele

Modern French · ★ Michelin

€€€€

Veteran chef Danny Horseele and his team have set up shop in Gent’s Moscou district. Casually luxurious, this restaurant dripping in gilded details resonates with warmth. The chefs can be admired at work behind a glass partition.Classical cuisine has no secrets for chef Horseele, who has a knack for recruitment and who enjoys trying out novelties, as the mouthwatering associations of the tasting and à la carte menus reveal. Big-boned, no-nonsense tradition is at the core of the house DNA. An example: pigeon, dried for two days, whose breast is cooked to a perfect medium rare and then coated wi

Michaël Vrijmoed is light years from your run-of-the-mill chef. Committed body and soul, he harnesses his phenomenal creativity and extensive technical know-how to the service of fine food, combining pedigree Gallic techniques with traditional fermentation and exotic influences. His stellar reputation is also due to his unabridged passion for vegetables, which comes to the forefront in his vegetarian Purs menu, as he relentlessly coaxes the best out of each ingredient. Should he get his hands on white truffles, he proudly brings them to your table as he plies you with suggestions. You may be t

ARNO ristorante

€€€€

Louis Verstrepen’s sleek HQ lies on the outskirts of Gent, near the E17 highway, in the Courtyard by Marriott Ghent hotel. The chef of the Michelin starred Da Mimmo establishment has put together an on-the-ball team capable of blending Tuscan finesse and authenticity with bucket loads of creativity. An example: creamy risotto with red beetroot and subtle strains of tarragon underscored by a rich, powerful bagna cauda and sea urchin for an added dollop of umami. The enticing set, à la carte and lunchtime menus are all emblematic of the soul of la cucina italiana!

Taberna Bask

Spanish Contemporary

€€€

This offshoot of Bar Bask is located on the outskirts of Ghent and revolves around the pintxos theme. The menu stars a cast of small dishes crafted with gutsy Spanish overtones, like the cocktail sauce with a wallop of mustard that is served with a tartare of matured beef, a green salad and a few slices of warm brioche bread. The restaurant works exclusively with outstanding produce, to which it adds a few judicious modern notes for extra peps. The suitably trendy vintage interior and references to tapas bars of the Basque country set the buzzy scene inside. We fully recommend making your way

Publiek

Modern Cuisine, Seasonal Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€

Publiek is a one-of-a-kind star establishment and its friendly vibe is pivotal to its loft-inspired, cosy bistro interior and its home-from-home ambience. The mix of designer and vintage details courtesy of artist friends lend it a quirky personalised feel. The bar even features its old beer pump! The team’s enthusiasm is contagious, and the talented chef frequently serves the main course himself. Don’t expect posh, luxury ingredients, because Olly Ceulenaere is a staunch champion of little-known veggies and produce. His intelligent recipes hit the spot every time and he is a past master in th

Ready for a whirlwind world tour? Marcelo Ballardin’s Italian-Brazilian roots, his globetrotting past and the international cast of the kitchen team are core to the DNA of this eatery. North Sea clams, Asian flavours or wild manioc roots from the Amazon Forest: the menu has clearly been extremely carefully designed and meticulously crafted. Chef Ballardin aims for simplicity, whilst accepting that this goal may entail a certain degree of complexity. He seeks a subtle balance between crisp acidity and velvety comfort. For example, he enhances quickly seared langoustines in a frothy, powerful sa

Talloor d'Or

Modern Cuisine

€€€

It is difficult not to succumb to the feelgood vibe of the snug interior, depicted by soft lighting and a view of the open kitchen. Chef Matthias rolls out a seasonal menu that shines the spotlight on cherry-picked veggies and gutsy sauces. High-precision craftsmanship, flawless cooking and the odd Asian twang set the scene. An example: melt-in-the-mouth suckling calf flanked by a gutsy veal gravy enhanced with miso for a distinctive hint of umami. Be it lunchtime or evening, choosing either the menu or à la carte is always a challenge, but Nikki is close at hand to help out!
