Description

Bachtekerke is undeniably smart, but its pride and joy is a blissful summer terrace on the banks of the Leie, whose secluded, idyllic setting makes you feel as if you are on an island! Even better, the chef has no equal for wholehearted cuisine, oozing in flavour and variety. From dim sum to share, crunchy, piping hot shrimp fritters and melt-in-the-mouth steak tartare to a bona fide patriotic Belgian dish – vol-au-vent, it finds favour with everyone, from gourmet gluttons to discerning foodies…

Review summary

Bachtekerke offers a prime riverside setting with one of Belgium's most beautiful terraces, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The modern French cuisine focuses on farm-to-table ingredients, with high praise for fresh seafood like oysters, tuna sashimi, and king crab, noted for excellent presentation and taste. Service is generally friendly and professional, with some guests appreciating valet parking, though others report slow responses during peak times or minor oversights. While the extensive wine list and scenic location are highlights, several reviewers find the value questionable, citing high prices and sparse wine pours. It suits diners prioritizing ambiance and quality over budget.

Best for

Ideal for diners prioritizing scenic ambiance and high-quality ingredients, but those sensitive to price should weigh the value carefully.
