    Very tasty croquettes with many varieties of taste for you to choose from. You can try out the very common ones like cheese. But they got more, and you should definitely try out something new because this is the right place to do that. The location is located in the historic center of Gent and you can't really miss it. The staff were very friendly and I do like the interior even though I didn't have a chance to dine in just yet. But you can check out other people's reviews/pictures, and it looks nice. I definitely recommend trying it even for once. They have vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options as well.

    Would have been a decent meal if it wasn't for the price. Left with an empty stomach and empty pockets. Expectations: a few croquettes (2€ each), sweet potato fries (4€) and a sauce (1€), so in total about 10€. Reality: one croquette (3,90€), two person sharing one sweet potato fries though it was dubbel portion (12€ total/ 6€ per person) and no sauce because no money (would've been 1,50€), so in total paid 9,90€.

    The service was exceptional they where kind and i didn't have to wait too long for my order to be taken or delivered. As for the food the croquettes where delicious the fries where fresh and crispy and the trufflemayonaise was exceptionally delicious. This combined with a fresh belgian beer made a all around great experience. 10/10 will come here again.

    It’s best to reserve a table, can be quite busy. The ‘kroketten’ were nice but flavour wise not so refined. A bit of an artificial taste imho. Could be the ones I picked, not sure about this one.

    I like the kroketjes as well as the decoration of the beautiful indoor space.I paid 19€ for 2 kroketjes, a salad, wedges and tea. The salad was packed with sauce and the wedges not fresh. The quality of the sides is disappointing. My solution: take a kroketje or three to go as a snack.

    Good location, good products dood croquettes (with vegan options). I would suggest to improve the menu providing more assortment of sharing plates

    The best place for lunch in Ghent. It is all about delicious croquettes. Salad and sweet potato fries were also so good. You can trust the chef recommendations, cheese, pork cheeks and shrimp croquettes were really great

    Great restaurant! Nice quality for your money and a lot of choice of croquettes. You can choose your croquettes, sides, and sauces all separately, and there's enough options for everyone to like something. 10/10 I recommend 👌

    Amazing restaurant for the famous Kroketten! Don’t forget your reservation, it’s always full! The service was fantastic, specially an employee called Pradtje, she was attentive, funny, efficient and so so nice! Always giving a smile to the customers of the restaurant. The food, no words! Crazily tasty kroketten, with a lot of options for vegetarians and a couple for vegans too! You can either choose a menu (kroketten + side + sauce) or take them individually (kroketten from 3,90 to 5,90€ depending on ingredients). Try the truffle one, no loss. The place itself, typical Belgium building, has a great decoration as well, with several paintings and ambience lights. Definitely a must stop in the city of Ghent. Oh! And menu available in different languages, of course. Can’t wait to come back!

    Can be a bit crowded at times, but for a good reason! Their food is really good. When they were out of stock for some flavors, they offered some tasty alternatives, which we appreciate. I've been here two times and would definitely go back next time! Best to make a reservation during busy hours to get a good spot. Their salad is really delicious. I also highly recommend their vol-au-vent croquettes. Nice and friendly wait staff, and they don't make you wait too long for your food so I'm guessing their mise-en-place is spot on. :)

    Had three of the croquettes, they were very good. Recommend the one with belgium beer and stew. Staff was nice!

    A place for croquette lovers ! Great concept, ample choice in also less common croquettes. The sides dishes were a nice decor for the stars of the menu. Our favourites : shrimply the best and instaham.

    the place is ok. overpriced for what it is. plus they charge extra for something you didn't order and they don't recognize the mistake and they don't refund the money. a pity the treatment towards customers and especially tourists.

    Very tasty and friendly service. Great for a quick bite to eat.

    Lovely concept, great vibes and awesome food. Maybe a bit too much tables for a small space, really had the feeling the people next to us where part of our conversation..

    Croquettes is a NAH While the salad and the staff is a amazing

  • 3/5 Fabian H. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place with interesting concept; only croquettes and some side dishes, in a auricular surrounding (the interior is very beautiful!). The croquettes have some unique tastes, but are surprisingly small. And those I've tried were not groundbreakingly surprising in taste either. For 2 smallish croquettes, some sauce and a surprisingly small salad, you can count on paying around 20 euro; which is the price of a full fledged main dish in other restaurants; with the difference that here you might still be hungry after finishing your plate. I would give it 4 stars (which means good enough to go again, but not a masterpiece); but with the steep prices it unfortunately drops to ê stars; meaning it was a pleasant experience, but all things considered, I might not visit again by my own initiative.

    Croquetten were good. The fries however were burned and we didn't get a drink with our menu... Sauces were delicious.

    Tried the original "chapeluur" croquette, the guy was so kind and brought me two (thank you). So delicious! If I'll ever be in Gent again, I'll have a proper lunch here and try all of them!
