    (Translated by Google) Great food and friendly staff until we were told by a blonde lady, presumably the owner, that we could finish while we hadn't even finished our drink. Later I was told by a friend that you work with a time limit. This was not reported on the spot. Very sorry. We certainly wanted to return but because we were approached unfriendly we don't think we will return. (Original) Lekker eten en vriendelijk personeel tot we te horen kregen van een blonde dame, vermoedelijk de eigenaar, dat we mochten afronden terwijl we nog niet eens ons drankje hadden opgedronken. Later kreeg ik van een vriendin te horen dat jullie werken met een tijdslimiet. Dit werd niet vermeld ter plaatse. Heel jammer. We wouden zeker terug keren maar doordat we onvriendelijk werden aangesproken denken we niet dat we nog terug keren.

    Very bad service, the waitress was rude when my friend who was pregnant asked not to have the salmon on the plate. She was not willing to do it. When I asked her for a Mocca coffee she had no idea what a Mocca is and even after explaining to her that it is a cappuccino with some chocolate, she refused to make it. I really dont recommend this place because it will just ruin your nice morning mood!

    That was a perfect breakfast! High quality, tasty ingredients, big portions, very nice served dishes 🤤 Great waffel with crispy chicken and extra bacon and very well seasoned shakshouka with eggplant, feta and toasts. I'm not a fan of sweet breakfasts but we took one more dish to share - pancakes with strawberries and ice cream 😍 Pure pleasure to visit you, merci! 👏

    A pretty spacious place with a nice modern decoration and friendly staff. The menu is full of variety. You can enjoy the cosy atmosphere while eating one of your favourite breakfasts. I ordered a Full English breakfast, which was supper. The portion was even more than enough. The mushrooms were fleshy, and the tomatoes were lovely cooked. And the bread was super fresh. I asked for lemon, and they brought it, which was nice. The only problem was that I ordered tea, and it was a teapot, but the portion of its water was exactly for a glass. As you use a pot, it can be even a little more.

    Great place for brunch, the service is very good(they speak multiple languages), and the eggs are excellent, highly recommend the Benedict’s and the truffle Parmesan fries. Very close to the center as well! Absolutely recommend, they also have plenty of tables. The pancakes & waffles are huge, so be careful with the sizes.

    The nicest staff and the best eggs benedict either of us have ever had. If you're looking for breakfast in Ghent this place serves breakfast all day, until 3pm. They also have a gorgeous cocktail menu and drink menu in general is extensive with lots of juices, lemonades & kombuchas. The whole vibe was amazing, will definitely be visiting this place again! The also have lots of vegan options, if you have a sweet tooth or prefer savory there's so much options. Their menu is also on their website :)

    Delicious and well worth the wait. Bring some time, especially on a sunny Saturday morning, as you will need to wait in line to get a table. They don’t take reservations so there is no way around the wait. The food makes up to it though. The pancakes where probably the fluffiest I ever had! Everything was fresh and well prepared. They offer a great choice of sweet and savoury breakfast options. The staff is very attentive and pleasant. Really nothing to criticise here. I’ll be back ❤️

  • 3/5 Jeroen M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice breakfast but unfortunately huge queue to have breakfast. Really very long. The communication was also pretty brutal. Unfortunately you cannot make a reservation, so your quiet Sunday morning can quickly fall into the water in this way .. a pity because it would be a lot more pleasant, I don't really understand, 50/50 if necessary. Anyway, I will try this next time. Good luck! (Original) Lekker ontbijt maar helaas gigantische wachtrij om te kunnen ontbijten. Echt enorm lang. De communicatie was ook nogal brut. Je kan er helaas niet reserveren, dus je rustige zondagmorgen kan wel snel in het water vallen op deze manier.. jammer want het zou wel een pak aangenamer zijn, ik snap het niet echt, desnoods 50/50. Soit, ik ga de volgende keer hierdoor wel passen. Veel succes!

    Without doubt the best brunch place in Gent, if not in all Belgium. We usually go there at least once a month and never been disappointed by the food or the services. Friendly stuff who manage the high demand (this place is popular!) well and the food is amazing. Don't get scared if there is a queue. It is worth it!

    Feels like a little piece of American breakfast culture in Belgium. All the best things about their all-day breakfasts, and then some. They don't take reservations. We arrived around 11AM and were seated within half an hour. There were four of us, waiting times tend to be less if you go with two. The waiting time was pleasant: you go from a cosy little bench outside, to a pretty seating area inside, after which you're led to your table. The change of scenery helped break up the wait into manageable chunks. Everything on the menu sounded divine, and the dishes being brought out to other customers didn't help narrow the choice. A feast for the eyes :) The food tasted just as good as it looked. I had fried chicken breakfast waffles and a very boozy mimosa. The chicken was tender and flavourful, the waffle came with a dressing that was sweet, savoury and a little spicy. The place is super busy, and thus noisy. You need to speak up to hold a conversation. The owners and personnel are driven and friendly.

    This review is not about food. The service was not so nice. They were clearly under direction and it felt unantrual. The young lads and ladies did seem very friendly and nice people they but seemed under pressure from the powers that be. The first thing that was mentioned was, before we were even seated, that we had a time limit to enjoy our stay. 1.5 hours. Which is long enough but we suddenly felt we were being watched on the clock. So much so one of the nice lads directed us to pay at the counter because our table was empty.... but we were still waiting for food. Food was magnificent.

    Delicious breakfast. I mean it was beyond expectations. Loved it. 😍eggs, bacon and coffe everything was amazing. Service was good, friendly. I have to wait outside for like 7 minutes to get a table. Took 15 minutes to get my order. They mentioned me in advance that due to waiting customers, maximum table time is an hour and half. (90 minutes). Which is quite resealable. Actually after finishing breakfast I kind of feeling guilty sitting there watching over a long queue of customers outside. 😁

    I’ve been making a point of coming to Luv l’Oeuf every single time I’m in Gent because it always impresses - and this time was no different! I started with a beautiful espresso martini and then my fiancé and I tried the in-rotation Mexican Benedict and old classic chicken and waffles. Both were fantastic!

  • 5/5 J L. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious ! Our breakfast was very tasty, and there were so many items to choose from I cannot wait to return and try something new.

  • 5/5 Jasmijn K. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a great meal over here! We took the bacon & brie Waffle and the s&s Benny and it was truly amazing. Booking a table is not possible but we only waited 5min for a table on a Saturday :)

  • 4/5 Bart C. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent place for breakfast or brunch with very friendly staff. Quick service and yummy food. We were told our table was available for an hour and a half, which was plenty of time to enjoy our meal. We didn't have to wait, there was no line, and there were plenty of tables available on a Tuesday morning 11.30am. A bit disappointing to see tipping options on the payment terminal. I guess it's to capture gullable Americans who can't help themselves from tipping abroad (which is not, and should not become a Belgian accustom).

  • 5/5 Natacha 1 year ago on Google
    Really loved the industrial yet cosy atmosphere. There are a lot of options for different tastes, savory or sweet. It lacks a savory veggie pancake option, if possible with an egg though but that's a detail.

  • 4/5 Jouke V. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is always amazing here. The only problem I have (and I have been here numerous times), is that you feel rushed, even if you are informed of the 1,5 hour cut-odd window, you feel like you are being ushered out asap, and your table is “advertised” to the next group, even if you are still eating, and within your allowed window of time. Before entering, my husband and son were 2 minutes out, but I still had to wait outside with my 1 year old, allowing other people to enter. You are only allowed to enter once the whole party is there. Also take note that they only have 2 baby seats, so they are not really orientated towards families with small kids. Believe their market is aimed at adult only, so take this into consideration if you want to take the family. Still fabulous food though :-)

  • 4/5 Jo 6 months ago on Google
    The creme brulee toast and the salmon and scrambled eggs were delicious. The salted caramel martini was nice too. I have been here twice and both times were enjoyable!

  • 4/5 Roberto R. 6 months ago on Google
    Food was amazing and service was fast and fantastic. There was a waiting line when we arrived but we could access quite fast (we needed just a table for 2). Fresh juices, good coffee, fantastic benedict eggs and one of the best pancakes I’ve tried. I don’t give 5 stars though because it was such an amazing day that it was a pity we could not enjoy with our dog, otherwise it would be just perfect.

  • 5/5 Jonas D. 5 months ago on Google
    One of my favourite brunch places in Ghent. With halloween they had delicious pumpkin pancakes

  • 5/5 Grazyna 11 months ago on Google
    One of the best breakfasts / brunches ever. Absolutely delicious and definitely worth the wait in the queue even in the rain!!! We had breakfast on waffles. One with falafel and one with melted brie, bacon, maple and red currants. All well made and great service. If back in Ghent one day, for sure we will visit! 😍

  • 5/5 Celine C. 8 months ago on Google
    I love this place. I have gone for brunch all over, in paris, new york, london, Edinburgh, etc. Nothing compares to the food here in Ghent at luv l’oeuf. Yes, it is simply SO good. If you asked me for my favourite ever restaurant, this is it. So do yourselves a favour and eat here! My favourites are the fried chicken waffles and the bacon french toast (with a side of fried chicken) and the truffle french fries. These are always so good, you can’t go wrong! They have specials too, one i’d love for them to bring back are the chilaquiles. Those were simply divine. This place has a strict no reservation policy, so don’t even try! But every time i’ve tried to come here i havent had to wait for longer than 15 minutes, so dont be intimidated by a line

  • 5/5 James B. 5 months ago on Google
    Wow, what can I say? This is literally amazing. Best eggs benny I've had that I didn't make myself! That's why I praise, by the way, as I'm the best chef ever! 👨‍🍳

  • 4/5 Eniah M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very cozy and nicely decorated. Corona proof and the food was unbelievable. Not only does it look good, but it is. The food was served quickly too. Nice, young staff. (Original) Suuuper gezellig en ook leuk ingericht. Coronaproof en het eten was ongelofelijk. Het ziet er niet alleen lekker uit maar het is dat ook. Het eten was ook snel geserveerd. Leuk, jong personeel.

  • 5/5 Kirsten van der M. 3 years ago on Google
    Awesome place for breakfast!! I can really recommend the eggs Benedict, it's one of my favorites. The pancakes looked amazing! Very nice place

  • 5/5 Franks S. 3 years ago on Google
    Class eggs benedict done to perfection. Plenty of hollandaise sauce, perfectly poached eggs with a runny yoke. Delicious addition of pea sprouts. And didn't mess around with the classic English muffin base. Absolutely spot on, taste sensation! Fully recommend and will be visiting again! Best Eggy B!!

  • 5/5 Alexander F. 3 years ago on Google
    Service was fast and friendly. Food was delicious and fair priced. Their menu was slightly reduced at the moment. They take their sanitary measures really seriously. Contact list is mandatory and tables are sanitized right away.

  • 4/5 Geles L. 3 years ago on Google
    Really good breakfast with interesting options. The staff is kind and the environment nice. It is a cozy place with amazing food. I definetly recommend this place for breakfast or lunch.

  • 5/5 Tatiana E. 3 years ago on Google
    I will never get tired of coming back here. It is one of the cosiest places in Ghent to have a delicious and hearty breakfast, especially in a company of friends. I recommend it to whoever visits Ghent. My favourite dish is pancakes with blueberry sauce, but they offer much much more. Menu is quite diverse (like they even have shakshuka), and warm drinks won't disappoint. Their staff is very helpful and welcoming :)

  • 5/5 Samuel W. 4 years ago on Google
    Make sure you are here at open or book in advance or be prepared to wait in line because it's busy but there is a good reason for that. The food is amazing! I had the brioche french toast and it was really tasty and we'll presented. Others in our group had the specials of the day which were both really good as well!

  • 5/5 Rashida S. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a fantastic (somewhat girly) brunch place. (Well, we saw very few men there.) I cannot praise this restaurant enough. The staff is super friendly and the prices reasonable. The decor evokes diverse opinions. It's all a matter of taste. But one thing that I and my two friends were in complete agreement with was the food. It. Was. Delicious. Also it is slightly off of the tourist track which makes it even better. A lot of locals re seen there and the crowd is very very young. Scrumptiously delicious food, great comepany and friendly service made the experience one of the better ones I've had.

  • 3/5 Thijs van der H. 4 years ago on Google
    If you're dying for eggs, this is the place to go. One of the few places I could find in Ghent with all day breakfast. Expect a cue though in the weekends, non stop busy! Service is very slow even for Ghent standards. I can deal with slow service, but not when it comes to breakfast. Eggs Benedict were excellent (could have had a bit more salmon), but at 15 euro it wasn't cheap. They do typical breakfast cocktails like mimosa and bloody Mary, I didn't order them, but the table next to us did, they are small. Coffee was excellent. To summarise: good quality, expect to wait, slightly overpriced. I wouldn't go back if I could find another all day breakfast place in Ghent.

  • 5/5 Femke C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Incredibly tasty dishes, very friendly service. I have already tried almost all dishes on the menu and they are all great. Definitely the best pancakes I've ever eaten! (Original) Ontzettend lekkere gerechtjes, zeer vriendelijke bediening. Ik heb bijna alle gerechtjes op de kaart al geprobeerd en ze zijn allemaal top. Zeker en vast de lekkerste pannenkoeken dat ik ooit al gegeten heb!

  • 5/5 cis a. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Delicious. Both something salty and something savory on the menu. Ideal breakfast. : D Explanation was friendly and clear. Pay attention: We work with a time limit of 1.5 hours however this is more than enough :) Ps. we were already there at 8.45 am and were then third in the queue! My advice come early! (Original) Superlekker. Zowel iets zouts als iets hartig op de kaart. Ideaal onbijtje. :D Uitleg was vriendelijk en duidelijk. Let op: Er wordt gewerkt met een tijdslimiet van 1,5u dit is echter meer dan voldoende :) Ps. wij stonden er al om 8u45 en waren toen derde in de wachtrij! My advice come early!

  • 5/5 Kevin V. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Delicious breakfast. Very hearty, so lunch will probably not really be necessary, but very tasty. We also had to queue for half an hour before we could enter. Not sure if this is due to the corona measures, but there always seems to be a line. (Original) Heerlijk ontbijt. Erg stevig wel, dus middageten zal waarschijnlijk niet echt nodig zijn, maar zeer lekker. Ook een dik halfuur moeten aanschuiven vooraleer we binnen konden. Niet zeker of dit door de corona maatregelen is, maar er lijkt altijd een rij te staan.
