Restaurant

😠 I don't quickly write a negative review, because I know what impact it can have and that it will be on the internet forever, but the statements made there are everything. It is a beautiful restaurant, delicious food, creative layout of the plates, but really the worst hostess I have ever experienced... People often mention beautiful, service,

    I don't quickly write a negative review, because I know what impact it can have and that it will be on the internet forever, but the statements made there are everything. It is a beautiful restaurant, delicious food, creative layout of the plates, but really the worst hostess I have ever experienced. She is constantly at your table and has really insulted me several times by making disrespectful comments about my profession. She tried to blame it on her French speaking or disguise it as a “joke”, but she clearly felt better than me. I haven't had such a bad evening in a long time and this was 100% due to the hostess. Are you a rich widow or is your relationship in a rut and you have nothing to say to each other. Then maybe the perfect restaurant is for you.

    We were here for the Christmas menu. Really TOP! Very refined dishes, beautiful presentation, smooth service by the daughter in both Dutch and perfect French. Point for improvement: the hostess is quite messy when pouring wine and water. Furthermore, she is perfect in terms of timing for additional pouring

    (Translated by Google) Don't be surprised by the previous comments. The lady of the house is a pushy know-it-all, who makes the fun and the very tasty food go wrong in one fell swoop. A real shame for the chef and the very helpful daughter. Matched wines are really to be avoided ... a few cl per dish! But still 50 euros p.p. ... Kitchen rating: 5 Service rating: 1 (Original) Ben niet verwonderd van de eerdere commentaren. De vrouw des huizes is een opdringerige betweter, die de fun en het zeer lekkere eten in 1 klap de mist doet ingaan. Echt jammer voor de chefkok en de zeer behulpzame dochter. Aangepaste wijnen is echt te vermijden ... enkele cl per gerechtje ! Maar toch wel 50 euro p.p. ... Beoordeling keuken: 5 Beoordeling service: 1

    An evening we will never forget. The hosting was so welcoming, informative and friendly. The location was peaceful, beautiful and relaxing. Having aperitifs and small dishes in the garden was such a treat before moving into the stunning house for the degustation menu. The food was absolutely delicious, thoughtful and surprising, paired with some fantastic wines. We were there for hours. A unique and special dining experience. Thank you!

    Cap off your visit to Ghent with a visit to the family run Jan Van Den Bon restaurant and receive great hospitality and a unique culinary delight. Situated in a home, the atmosphere is warm and fine paintings line the walls. The set menu will meet all your expectations.

    (Translated by Google) Delicious eaten. The wines were also fine but I think what the price. (Original) Heerlijk gegeten. De wijnen waren ook prima maar mijn inziens wat aan de prijs.

    (Translated by Google) We enjoyed a 'super experience' on all levels: classic cuisine but oh! so good! accompanying French wines were also very good, a beautiful garden in which we could walk freely with a very pleasant ambiance from the terrace and last but not least the hostesses of the house were very friendly with a perfect service! (Original) We genoten er van een 'superervaring' op allerlei vlak: klassieke keuken maar oh! zo lekker! bijhorende Franse wijnen waren ook heel goed, een prachttuin waarin we vrij konden wandelen met een heel aangename ambiance vanop het terras en last but not least de gastvrouwen des huizes waren heel vriendelijk met een perfecte service!

    EDIT (18/06/23) Wat een ongelooflijke ervaring is het bij Jan Van den Bon! Alles, maar dan ook werkelijk alles is aanwezig om een onvergetelijke en onderdompelende ervaring te beleven. Van de sprookjesachtige tuin, de warme en bijzonder gastvrije ontvangst en bediening, en uiteraard ook de onvoorstelbaar goed uitgewerkte gangen: visueel, textuur, smaak, combinaties, ... weergaloos. Jan Van den Bon en team slagen erin om een beleving te creëeren die wij zelfs bij "grote" namen niet konden vinden. Wij hopen dit pareltje nog lang te mogen meemaken.

    On par with high end modern cuisine. The garden, which you can walk through, makes for a lovely romantic setting. Family staff is very professional and personal. Food is extremely well prepared. A must in Ghent.
