😠 Extremely arrogant, the most horrible experience I've ever had! Not friendly at all! Gave us the middle finger trying to be sneaky so nobody could see and told us to f... off and go somewhere else! I've loved this place but now... People often mention good, staff, nice, friendly, lunch, restaurant, Friendly, great, cozy, Nice,

    (Translated by Google) Location of the restaurant with excellent views of the canal, not much choice on the menu but well-cooked dishes (even for vegetarians), particular and minimalist restaurant, friendly and helpful staff, prices appropriate to food. Recommended for a quick lunch while visiting the city or for an evening aperitif by the canal. (Original) Posizione del locale ottima con vista sul canale, non molta scelta sul menù però piatti ben cucinati (anche per vegetariani), locale particolare e minimalista, personale gentile e disponibile, prezzi adeguati al cibo. Consigliato per un pranzo veloce durante la visita della città o per un aperitivo serale in riva al canale.

    A simple little cafe when visiting for breakfast. Small food menu but means you can’t overthink what to eat. Croissants and bread baked fresh and the black tea is divine!

    A beautiful spot by the river with an excellent menu of well selected lunch dishes. The quiche was unbelievable- best I’ve had. Totally reasonable prices too. So pleased we stumbled across this place.

    Stopped by for a quick bite with seven others. We had a variety of dishes including their guac and egg sandwich, goat cheese sandwich, and more. Everyone left filled and satisfied. Excellent double espresso to boot. Very good, attentive staff.

    What a delightful lunch we had here, in the sunny weather by the canal! I had the quiche of the day and my husband had the roast beef sandwich. They were so tasty and fresh! The side salads that came with each was also wonderful and fresh. It was a nice change from the standard heavy Belgian food and frites. We highly recommend it!

    (Translated by Google) De Parkiet is a small, cozy and authentic restaurant in the heart of Ghent. Here they serve real Flemish food and a large drink menu with local beers, Traists and wine. Ideal location for a pleasant lunch with colleagues, friends or the family. The large windows offer a view of the water. Popular with tourists (many Spanish) and Ghent locals. (Original) De Parkiet is een klein, gezellig en authentiek restaurant in hartje Gent. Hier serveert men echte Vlaamse kost en een ruime drankkaart met streekbieren, trapisten en wijn. Ideale locatie voor een aangename lunch met collega's, vrienden of het gezin. De grote ramen bieden uitzicht op het water. Populair bij toeristen (veel Spaanse) en Gentse locals.

    Dude is a douche working there. We were sitting for 10 min and my sister took a sip of coke from her backpack while we were waiting. He finally turned the corner and ran over to us. He said that was rude and started to argue with us. I said we have been waiting for him to come out for the back and she was parched. The coke was back in her backpack so it did not matter by the time he was there. We were buying drinks anyway. He stormed over to us and I felt like he was about to hit me with how aggressively he was talking to us. He was so condescending and I am not going to let my sister be talked to that way for drinking when she’s thirsty and no one was there to help us. If we had been served that would be one thing, but we waited 10 minutes for anyone to even come out from the back. It is a hot day and people need to stay hydrated. I felt threatened and scared as a women because he got so close to my face and was yelling at me. I cried after because he was so animated. I could feel his spit on me as he yelled. If you are a women I would not go as I did not feel comfortable. Luckily there was another family to witness this, otherwise he probably would have gotten physical.

  • 3/5 J. J. R. 10 months ago on Google • 25 reviews
    Luckily the food was absolutely delicious. We waited over 20 minutes to be served, and then waited another 60 minutes to receive our food. All in all by the time we got our food we were hangry with almost 90 minutes of waiting time. (Many others who came after us were served and received food before us too, which rubbed salt in the wounds). But then we were met with our roast beef toast's, and they were sublime, hence 3 stars.

  • 1/5 Χρήστος �. 3 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    Terrible service and host generally. We went with 5 people and it wasn’t possible to have a table even thought it was tables available. The waitress was really rude and she didn’t even explain the reason why.

  • 1/5 Andy H. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Bit amazed by the rudeness of the chef / waiter on duty. First, he argues with us because, according to him, we were initially at another table (which was not the case). He then becomes irritable because I indicate that he puts our order on the table the other way around. "Guys anyway!" he says out loud. Well. There are other places where you are treated with respect. (Original) Beetje verbaasd door de onbeschoftheid van de kok/ober van dienst. Eerst gaat hij in discussie met ons omdat we volgens hem aanvankelijk aan een andere tafel zaten (wat niet zo was). Vervolgens wordt hij slechtgezind omdat ik aangeef dat hij onze bestelling andersom op tafel zet. "Jongens toch!" zegt hij luidop. Tja. Er zijn andere plekken waar je wel met respect wordt behandeld.

  • 5/5 Federica V. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Small and welcoming place, overlooking the canal. The kitchen offers toast with soft bread, salads, cheeses and some home made drinks. We ordered a toast with smoked salmon and one with avocado. Blueberry lemonade is very fresh and tasty. Friendly and helpful staff. The only flaw: menu only in Flemish. (Original) Locale piccolo e accogliente, che si affaccia sul canale. La cucina offre toast con pane soffice, insalate, formaggi e alcune bevande fatte in casa. Noi abbiamo ordinato un toast con salmone affumicato e uno con avocado. La limonata al mirtillo è molto fresca e gustosa. Personale gentile e disponibile. Unica pecca: menù solo in Fiammingo.
