    Such a lovely place to visit. Owner is sweet and friendly. They have nice menu to offer and a chocolate shop for chocolate lovers. The location is very central and building itself has loads of character

    Very cosy and modern place hidden away in a street close to the center. There's a small terrace in the back. The banana caramel bacon pancakes are to die for, best topping I ever had on pancakes.

    A hidden but very central located treasure. Delicious food combined with a small chocolate shop.

    Pancakes Fairytale 😍 Very happy that they are back again in business, couldn’t really imagine Gent without GWENOLA , it was difficult to accept the fact that they might have been gone forever. So I was happy to see those beautiful authentic plates and coffee cups again 😊and to taste my favourite ( pannenkoeken with brown sugar abd butter) which I have been missing for 5 years! Those memories of rainy days waiting patiently there at the entrance waiting for a table and that joy when you finally could sit and enjoy those delicious pannenkoeken made and presented with love. For me the word pannenkoeken means simply Gwenola . Of course now the atmosphere is not the same the place is a bit smaller than before moderner than before but still cosy and warm and the taste is almost the same.

    Visiting Gent from New York and was blown away by the quality of food and service at Kraken. The vibe was very relaxed but classy and the crepes were something special. Try the ginger apple drink, very refreshing for the summer. We were lucky to be served by Fauve, whom turned out to be the owner. She’s was very welcoming and helpful in navigating the menu. Will definitely be back!

    The one with banana and chocolate was with salted butter and it was perfect. The other one with mozarella and rucola was very good and filling. Hot milk chockolate also delicious!

    We had our wedding brunch here. Everything was perfect. The food was very tasty and of great quality for a very reasonable price. The location was beautiful and the service was great. In the end we received a chocolate present from her chocolate store.

    We just enjoyed the St.-Nicolas breakfast and man was it fingerlicking good! To thank you with a little rhyme in Dutch "met het Sinterklaasontbijt van Krank hebben we terug een volle tank" (For people who can read Dutch: there's a good reason I didn't make writing poetry my profession 🙂)

    We had a delicious brunch with local ingredients and lots of options! The terrace in the back is really nice and the staff very warm and friendly. Mother and daughter run this great place and I definitely recommend!

    The chocolate mousse alone is worth a detour. This is a real gem, definitely recommend!

    Beautiful, elegant and super tasty breakfast. Pancakes probably best I’ve ever had 😇

  • 3/5 Andreea G. 2 years ago on Google
    This seems a good place to take a coffe, but overall it seems a place for hipsters (not in a bad way, but if you want to eat, you will find a few good options only).

👍 Well maintained sports bar with so many activities. A bit challenging to locate for a first timer. Great atmosphere but 4 stars because the food was a bit disappointing. Burger could do with some seasoning.

👍👍 « Luxury fries 🍟 » and well it is quite expensive. But I’d say it is worth it at least once. It is the price for exceptional fries 😉. The fries were absolutely delicious, and well cooked.
