We were served by the chef himself, but he was a real jerk. From the first encounter. And for god knows what reason!? He should stay in his kitchen. Wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy.

Amazing service at the restaurant! Staff here is down to earth instead of stiff, which I appreciate if there is good knowledge backing it up. And there was. Whenever we asked questions the waiters went above and beyond in answering. So really well done to staff! 5* Food wise it was more than good. The first dish, a hamachi (fish), was by far our favorite because of its creativity, bold flavors, crazy pairings, perfect balance in structures ... it had it all. The other dishes were good. They were well executed (minor hick-up with the pheasant, but not as bad as some critical neighbors made it out to believe) and presented beautifully. And another surprise came with our coffee/tea, which is the desserts, which were again amazing. Especially the macarons! I was super thrilled about the juice pairing, which was spot on, except for the carrot-passion fruit that didn't fully matched the dish, but the skilled people of Nonam managed to make me enjoy beetroot in a drink and that's a tough nut to crack. So thanks everyone for a lovely evening!

This review is for the restaurant only. Fantasticly researched menu, exceptional tastes and creative presentation. Staff very kind and helpful. All this for a fair price regarding the high quality you get. Compliments to the chef!

We just happened to go to Noman as a last minute decision but what a surprise! The food was AMAZING a varied menu with great ingredients and creative combinations that worked really well. Afterwards, our only regret was not taking the 6 course menu as we didn't get to try the crab. Even the sweets with the coffee were amazing.

(Translated by Google) An absolute must: a three-course menu, delivered at home, consisting of Thai Noodle soup, Black leg chicken stew (with asparagus) and chocolate peanut pie, a perfect combination of flavors, light and delicious. My compliments to the chef (Original) Een absolute aanrader: een driegangenmenu, aan huis geleverd, bestaande uit Thai Noodle soep, Stoofpotje van Zwart poot kip (met asperges) en chocolade-pindataart, een perfecte combinatie van smaken, licht en heel lekker. Mijn complimenten aan de chef

We were surprised that in 2023, a restaurant overcharges 12 euros to "adapt" dishes (ie remove, not replace, ingredients) for pregnant women. On Friday nights, the restaurant only serves a 6 courses menu with no other options. After receiving some explanations on the menu, we discovered that one dish had raw oysters, and another one a raw egg. My wife therefore asked them to adapt the dishes as she cannot eat raw oysters or eggs. We were quite surprised to hear that they overcharge 12 euros for this. We checked on their website and indeed they mention that they overcharge 12 euros to respect dietary requirements (even though one could say that mentioning it in small prints on the bottom of the page seems a bit dishonest), but we booked through the Yeat app and this mentioned nowhere. The waitress was also very rude as she switched to Dutch to try to explain to me that we were wrong in complaining for the overcharge when my wife expressed politely her surprise (in English) (I don't speak Dutch either, but I assume that since my wife is of Asian descent the waitress imagined that I could speak to her...). Now talking about the food: All dishes are very similar and everything is prepared in advance, with little to no cooking being done by the Chef during the evening. The first dish was a bit of raw oysters with cucumber and ponzu, sunk in an espuma. It was very bland, with the cucumber overpowering the whole dish. For my wife the adaptation was that they simply removed the oyster and added a slice of cucumber. Second dish was mossels again in an espuma of buttermilk with some mayonnaise. Again, very bland. Third dish was pig's head (pate) with some mousse. The pate was okayish but the rest of the dish was again very bland. Fourth dish was the first dish that was not cold. It was a mousse of butternut with wild mushrooms and a raw egg inside. The raw egg was removed for my wife. This dish was lukewarm. It felt too creamy and did not taste like butternut. I also think that the wild mushrooms are rehydrated shiitake as can be bought in any asian supermarket. This dish was the worst. Fifth dish (received 3 hours after the first one...) was hare with blood sausage cream. This is the only cooked dish of the meal as the hare is cooked by the chef's assistant. However the hare was not well cooked as it was not warm, and served blue (which is weird for hare meat). It was not great but the best meal out of a bad experience. For my wife we had asked them to remove the blood sausage and they simply then said they would serve something else. They therefore served cod and this was the best dish (although not part of the menu). the cod was however only one bite. Dessert was OK but too sweet to my taste. All in all all dishes were not great and one was quite bad. The staff is undertrained and it seems that the chef cares more about money than treating well his customers.

(Translated by Google) Well located in the center of Ghent. Formula taken with dinner in room with adapted wines and brunch. Everything perfectly arranged in terms of corona measures. Dishes were top, matching wines were delicious with the dish. Brunch the day after was more than enough and very tasty. Room is nicely decorated. Recommended. (Original) Goed gelegen in centrum Gent. Formule genomen met diner op kamer met aangepaste wijnen en brunch. Alles perfect geregeld qua corona maatregelen. Gerechten waren top, bijpassende wijnen waren lekker bij het gerecht. Brunch dag nadien was meer dan genoeg en heel lekker. Kamer is mooi ingericht. Aanrader.

Súper centric, well decorated, clean. Definitely worth the money. Lacks a bit of human contact and correct management.overall good experience

The Restaurant is nice as well as the food that is high quality. Only “minor” issue is that we had a 6 courses dinner menu, we arrived at 8pm an left later than midnight. More than 4hours is way too long. The kitchen is badly organize making the experience too long and unpleasant. Price of tap water is also outrageous: 7€ per bottle.

We had a quick sit down at the wine bar and the experience was alright overall but left us a little underwhelmed. Passing by so many busy wine bars in the area with great music and a modern but laid back atmosphere, Nonam was a bit too stuck up. Perhaps it is aimed at a different audience, or maybe the very high class restaurant had a bit of an influence but the place did not make you feel very relaxed. In addition to that there were little flies in my wine which was promptly replaced but not originally noticed (which is a bit off putting given how immaculate the surrounding decor was). The snacks we had (shrimp tempura and pork croquets) was alright. Croquets were not crunchy and had a bit of a stale taste in our opinion, one of them had a little bone inside. We didn’t spend enough time to make a proper judgement mainly because the place really didn’t feel very welcoming. Especially unwelcoming was the fact that the bar is right at the entrance to the restaurant, so you literally sit and watch all the restaurant guests come in, take their coats off and get brought to the table. Perhaps just removing the sitting at the bar and keeping the other bar room is a better choice. It looked way more comfortable.

The hotel with zero customer service!Everything is only about the money! Definitely would not recommend to stay there!

(Translated by Google) Wonderful restaurant! The 6 course menu is enjoy from start to finish. Both inside and outside, nice setting. (Original) Heerlijk restaurant! De 6 gangen menu is genieten van begin tot einde. Zowel binnen als buiten, leuke setting.

A must go for foodies ! We have been there a few times now and the food never ceases to amaze us ! Perfection and creativity are present in every course. Each being composed of several complex preparations with well balanced flavours and different textures. We can see the chefs working in the kitchen, the staff is so friendly, the atmosphere not too pretentious, we are just feeling at ease !

Gastronomic restaurant. Fabulous experience with the best cuisine I have tasted in eons! I do recommend it.

Hôtel part: somehow a little disappointed by the hotel. The bedroom had a plug that was not working, the lamps were plugged out, the fans for the AC was loud even at low level and there was no door in-between the bedroom and the bathroom. On the plus side, the decoration was nice. It was a lot of small details that made it feel overpiced for the services and the room.

True disappointment. The flavors as well as the service were truly a let-down. We didn’t finish most of the food as it was simply distasteful. If I hadn’t been so hungry, I would’ve eaten even less. At some point a staff member even bumped into me quite hard while I was seated at the table and didn’t even apologize. The girl that served us clearly didn’t have training and lacked experience which she didn’t make up for with how she treated us. For us it was a waste of time and money. But hey, they have a score of 4,6 so I’m guessing there are enough people out there who do like it.

Top gastronomic experience! Friendly staff, nice setting. The non-alcoholic alternative for accompanied wines is great.

One big disappointment that restaurant was! Worse service I ever had in a restaurant that claim to be in this level. If u have any questions better not to order a place there. My husband order us and my mam who came from Abroad a place for my bday lunch. I had no idea we go there so couldn’t control the menu, my mam don’t eat fish yet after I explained they still asked for extra money for a small change we asked to do on the dishes. I asked an explanation on the champagne, clearly didn’t need to because the girl said her college will come thing that took more than 20 min. Than they let us wait 20 more min till we got the menu. Both of the girls that were working on the floor but especially one with heavy eyeliner were colder than ice. Zero smile zero grace zero friendliness. Like cold machines doing their jobs. And if u would say the food was wawoooo But no it was definitely NOT. The first dishes that were extra were actually the best one. Bad combination of ginger and burata cheese, not balanced slat or should I say the chef forgot this ingredient exist. Tasteless dish with a herring fish. Everything was super presented that’s for sure. I give the service (minus) - 4 the food 8 and the total experience as we left there 300€ in 3 words - NOT WORTH IT!

The staff was friendly but the service was a bit slow. We weren’t impressed by the food and my partner had food poisoning a few hours after we ate there.

Nice boutique hotel in great location for exploring the beautiful city if Ghent. We would definitely stay here again.

Stylish high end dining. Expensive but totally worth it. Recommended.

Had a reservation at the wine bar. It was quite a disappointment The waiter was friendly, he tried. But the service was unbelievably slow. We had 2 glasses of wine, and 2 small and 2 mains from the wine bar shareable bites menu. It took a full 2 hours and 15min. The final dish only showed up because we asked for the check and requested the missing dish be removed from the bill. Then magically, it’s ready! If you sit at the main dining room, be prepared to have everything you are wearing smell like the kitchen, the ventilation for their open kitchen was non existent. We sat at the other lobby side of the wine bar, but because the staff and guests cannot close the door behind them, it was very cold and drafty. Lastly, the food was just very oily. Ok flavor, drowned in oil… it was all called a “salsa” on the menu. The fish was drowned in this oil. The pulled pork tasted like it was cooked in a cup of sugar. I wouldn’t do this unless you have all the time in the world and don’t mind mediocre food at fine dining prices

What a meal ! The attention to detail and balance in flavors was spot on , from A to Z pure perfection !

(Original) Zeer aangename sfeer, down to earth en toch gesofisticeerde keuken. Top service en keuken met een mooi gebalanceerde prijs/kwaliteitsverhouding…kijk er al uit om in de zomer terug te keren naar hun terras!

Absolutely awful experience. Place looks nice, modern yet pretty relaxed. Menu looks interesting. Wine pairing available and to be honest wine was rhe only good thing about the whole dinner. Even though its not cheap food unfortunately it was not good. Fish was overcooked. The use of passionfruit at times so overpowering we couldn't finish the portion. Worse yet main course duck was tough and none of us (party of 4) could cut a piece with a knife. Worst course yet. We didn't even stay for desserts. Just wanted to end it. Staff unhelpful and didn't take anything on board stating it must be something wrong with us nit their food. Threatened to call police when we discussed the payment as we did not feel what we received and not eaten was worth over €500. Would not recommend, in all honesty never have we encounteredsuch bad service and obnoxious chef... Sadly Worst experience ever.

This place deserves at a least a star. Very good food great wine. Friendly staff 💗 will 💯 come back again.

They should just stay as a restaurant, worst room service ever ! A week without cleaning or new towels ! Cleaning lady that touches your things and asks for tip because she is doing her job ! Worst hotel experience in Gent ( ps : I did all of the hotels in gent almost )

Great stay at this lovely boutique hotel - would highly recommend. Great for walking quickly into the heart of Gent.

(Translated by Google) If I couldn't give a star I would. The sanitary part of the room had not been cleaned. There was also dust and waste in the bedside table. We could not ventilate the rooms. Absolutely not done at the time of Corona! (Original) Als ik geen ster kon geven, deed ik dit. Het sanitaire gedeelte van de kamer was niet gepoetst. Er lag ook nog stof en afval in het nachtkastje. Wij konden de kamers niet verluchten. Ten tijde van Corona absoluut not done!

Top!!!

We had dinner in the restaurant, we choose the 6 course meal. The food was excellent, very beautifully presented, innovative and tasty. 2 of our party took the wine arrangement and it fit the menu perfectly. The home made madeleine cake with coffee was divine. The service was knowledgeable and efficient.

(Translated by Google) 5/5 for the magnificent menu served in your room: the 6 different dishes were original, refined (textures, cooking, flavors), everything was superbly well done. We are very happy with what has been presented. Well done, it was a real pleasure! 3/5 on the other hand for the welcome on our arrival which needs to be improved as well as the overall soundproofing of the establishment. If not, Manager Karel is a great listener, that's very nice. The rooms are very nice, and above all very clean. A real pleasant break, especially in this period of lockdown. (Original) 5/5 pour le magnifique menu servi en chambre: les 6 différents plats étaient originaux, raffinés (les textures, les cuissons, les saveurs), tout était superbement bien travaillé. Nous sommes très contents de ce qui a été présenté. Bravo, ce fut un réel plaisir! 3/5 par contre pour l’accueil lors de notre arrivée qui est à améliorer ainsi que l’insonorisation globale de l’établissement. Si non, le Manager Karel est d’une grande écoute, c’est très agréable. Les chambres sont très jolies, et surtout très propres. Une vraie parenthèse agréable, surtout en cette période de lockdown.
