Gaston Rooftop bar & restaurant Gent

Restaurant Bar Event venue

😐 Lovely view and atmosphere. However not great for vegans or even vegetarians. Menu boasts “multiple options” but really only 1 vegan option (a burger, comes with fries with a sauce drizzled over, I dont know if the sauce was actually vegan). The other “vegetarian option” actually contains pecorino,... People often mention location, view, good, Nice, setting, eten, locatie, friendly, restaurant, Ghent,

    Lovely view and atmosphere. However not great for vegans or even vegetarians. Menu boasts “multiple options” but really only 1 vegan option (a burger, comes with fries with a sauce drizzled over, I dont know if the sauce was actually vegan). The other “vegetarian option” actually contains pecorino, which is a non vegetarian cheese. When I mentioned this to the waiter, he tried to convince me this was vegetarian pecorino? Very strange. Burger was good though. Edit: as we can now see, this restaurant doubles down on the idea that cheese is always vegetarian, while a simple google search will inform them that this is not true. I understand that this is not generally known, but if someone tells you new information, the least you can do is check if they are correct before you get incredibly defensive. Always sad to see reactions like that, when in essence my review was positive with 1 point of constructive feedback.

    Great location, very stylish restaurant with a feel good mood, and a very relaxed atmosphere. Really feels like vacations. The food is good, but honestly overpriced. It is standard dishes, made with quality ingredients, but not more than that. Lacks a bit of creativity in the menu to justify the high prices, and something that encompasses the spirit of the location and of the endeavor.

    Sitting by the edge of the rooftop on the 4th floor, enjoying the lovely view over Ghent city. Great food, friendly waiters, good pricing. Only open during summer.

    Unic rooftop in Gent on old industrial site, unusual skyline! Outside Terras, bar, dinner on patio. Out of the box menu! Very tasty, nice composition, oriental touch for some dishes, vegan on the menu. Great desserts! . Due to construction on road temporary redirection, GPS - Waze needed.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful setting for the New Year's event. Outdoor bar, cosily decorated, beautiful heating elements, trendy. Within a DJ at the entrance, cozy corners with seats. (Original) Mooie setting voor het oudjaarsevent. Buitenbar, gezellig aangekleed, mooie verwarmingselementen, trendy. Binnen een dj bij de inkom, gezellige hoekjes met zeteltjes.

    Beautiful location, disappointing food. The view from the rooftop is terrific, you see all the rooftops of Ghent city. Very quiet, special atmosphere. The menu card is very promising, dishes with very nice names and prices, but the disappointment starts when you receive the dishes. Small, cheap ingredients and just average in taste. Felt like a cash grab. We won’t be coming back unfortunately, shame of the location.

    Super chill location. The inside of the bar is pretty ok but if you can visit it when the weather's good. The outdoor bar and relaxing area is extremly beatifull. The staff was friendly and acomodating!

    This place is maybe a bit hidden and outside the city center, but it's definitely worth your visit! You go up to the fourth floor of an old fabric. And you'll find a restaurant which is stylish, great view over the city, food is refined and the personnel is really friendly.

    (Translated by Google) Yesterday with a group of 12 people went to eat in this restaurant. Restaurant is a word that shows too little value for this concept. In addition to a good kitchen, the total concept is something that even after a few years still stands. Not that the setting has changed significantly, here and there some new things, but as the saying goes "never change a winning team". Go eat on the roof of Ghent at dusk and then also get quality served, here you will find it. We started with the selection of snacks (2x) all worth trying, fresh, savory, something for everyone. The drinks menu is extensive, very extensive. Our company has been selling GTs, beers and wine. Not finding your taste is almost non-existent. For 12 people we were asked to select from 3 main courses, but even a 4th dish the kitchen team could get for the entire group at the same time. There was chosen from tagliatelle with prawns, shrimp croquettes, beautiful girl and Belgasconne pig. I only heard positive comments about the first three dishes and I can judge the latter myself. The Belgasconne pork was simply served with beans, pickles, porto sauce and croquettes. All five parts were perfect (especially the pickles, you have to love it!). You can of course conclude with Irish Coffee on a beautiful summer evening at Gaston! We tapped on € 80 / pp for almost 4 hours of entertainment, fun, perfectly arranged and in the end a beautiful sunset from the house. (Original) Gisteren met een gezelschap van 12 personen gaan eten in dit restaurant. Restaurant is een woord die te weinig waarde betoont aan dit concept. Naast een goede keuken is het totaalconcept iets dat zélfs na enkele jaren nog steeds overeind blijft. Niet dat de setting danig veranderd is, hier en daar wel wat nieuwe zaken, maar zoals het gezegde gaat ‘never change a winning team’. Op het dak van Gent gaan eten bij valavond én dan ook nog kwaliteit geserveerd krijgen, hier vind je het. We startten met de selectie hapjes (2x) allemaal het proberen waard, fris, hartig, voor iedereen wel wat. De drankenkaart is uitgebreid, zeer uitgebreid. Ons gezelschap grossierde in GT’s, bieren en wijn. Uw smaak niet vinden is quasi onbestaande. Voor 12 personen werd ons gevraagd om te selecteren uit 3 hoofdgerechten, maar zelfs een 4e gerecht kon het keukenteam voor het volledige gezelschap op hetzelfde moment op tafel krijgen. Er werd gekozen uit tagliatelle met gamba’s, garnaalkroketten, mooie meid en Belgasconne-varken. Ik hoorde enkel positieve commentaren over de eerste drie gerechten en kan zelf oordelen over het laatste. Het Belgasconne-varken werd eenvoudig geserveerd met boontjes, pickles, portosaus en kroketjes. Alle vijf de onderdelen waren perfect (vooral de pickles, je moet ervan houden!). Afsluiten met Irish Coffee op een mooie zomeravond kan uiteraard bij Gaston! We tikten af op 80€/pp voor bijna 4u vertier, plezier, perfect gearroseerd en op de koop toe een mooie zonsondergang van het huis.

    (Translated by Google) Nice location and pretty tasty dishes. Service was friendly, although sometimes I had the impression that it was a bit chaotic. In itself worth a visit. A larger and more creative veggie / vegan offer is also welcome. (Original) Mooie locatie en op vrij lekkere gerechten. Bediening was vriendelijk, al had ik soms de indruk dat het wat chaotisch verliep. Op zich wel een bezoek waard. Een groter en creatiever veggie/vegan aanbod is eveneens welkom.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice setting, very tasty and original dishes. Large portions, we ate a snack, starter, main course and dessert, our eyes were much bigger than our stomach. I have to eat gluten-free, knowledge about this could be better. There is an allergens card available. Smooth and friendly service. Recommended. (Original) Heel mooie setting, erg lekkere en originele gerechten. Grote porties, wij aten een hapje, voorgerecht, hoofdgerecht en dessert, onze ogen waren veel groter dan onze maag. Ik moet glutenvrij eten, de kennis hierover kan beter. Er is wel een allergenenkaart aanwezig. Vlotte en vriendelijke bediening. Een aanrader.

    The quality of food and the quantity of its servings compared to the prices we paid, what a perfect balance they created. I can't wait to go back to try it for a second time and test the consistency because if it is the same, this might be a place I will go back often!! so I would recommend this place to anyone!
