    Food was very good. (food alone 5*) That is why 3* given. Main Waiter was good. Very busy and even with reservation we had the feeling of being hurried through… Otherwise the rest of the waitresses/waiters were not very professional. Took away food and drinks before finished😡 (should have asked first) very hectic. We watched others get an appetizer from the kitchen… we didn’t. Waitresses also misinformed about product and pricing. . Eventuell Covid precautions-NO Distance between tables was lacking. I recommend eating here but not when it is so busy. The food was good! Typical Belgium

    We spent our last family dinner in Brussels in this restaurant. We are a family of 9 people. After visiting the city center of Gent, we decided to eat here. 1. The location is easy to reach by walking. In front of the restaurant, there is a river and make the view more beautiful at night. 2. They have menu available in front of the restaurant. 3. They have outdoor seating and indoor seating. They provide fire outside to make the visitors warm. 4. It was quite busy at Saturday night. We needed to wait for around 30 minutes to get the table available. 5. They have a bar inside the restaurant. 6. The staffs can understand and speak English well. 7. The toilet is clean. 8. They have kids menu. The food is quite pricey. We spent around €210 for 9 people. I ordered local food a pork something with a salad, and the taste is not really good. I tasted so much wine on the meat. The entrance food tasted good.

    Amazing place, very popular with the locals and this is always a good sign. Options to eat outside with heaters, or inside which is what we did. Staff were excellent, and spoke very good English. The food was amazing, very reasonable bill with a bottle of wine. Would definitely return.

    Definitely go for lunch and make a reservation prior, very busy! 25 euros for starter and entree which is a great deal around here. Also, they make the traditional Flemish stew with pork cheeks instead of beef which was recommended by a local and did not disappoint. The seating is outdoors but has fireplaces and heaters so you are plenty warm.

    No doubt, the worst rest I’ve been in so long. We all know about COVID restrictions and times, but as soon as I get to the entrance I cannot get asked how long I’m gonna be (it was 10pm). This was so disrespectful by the waiter and we should have left after that. We felt so pressured and only ordered those fried calamari so we could leave (btw, it was 30th of December). The free appetizer was so nice (luckily), but as for the calamari, they were so oily and the waiters didn’t even give us any cutlery. The only cutlery we had was the tiny butter knife that came with the appetizer. They wouldn’t pay attention to us and we had to eat it with our fingers. It was horrific. We expected a good service (given that it is not a super affordable restaurant) but instead it was miserable. Never again

    Wonderful spot next to the canal to have a drink and watch the sunset. The staff is wonderfully helpful, and the bites we had were delicious and fresh. The steaks on the nearby table seem to die for so definitely next time!

  • 5/5 Jon Le N. 4 months ago on Google • 164 reviews
    Very popular place and fortunately reserving a table secures a nice spot next to the window. Croquettes and Flemish stew were delicious and filling so could only manage a sorbet rather than the apple pie for desert. Great selection of beers. Staff were lovely.

    Nettes Restaurant, direkt am Fluss, sehr freundliche und flotte Bedienung, Essen wie immer Geschmacksache, aber für den stolzen Preis von 32 Euro für Pasta mit Garnelen habe ich doch einen besseren Geschmack und weniger Olivenöl erwartet

    Nette Bedienung, kostenloses Gedeck und hervorragendes Essen! Dieses Restaurant ist sein Geld wert! Kann absolut weiterempfohlen werden!

    Highlight of our time in Ghent. Food was amazing. Husband had fillet steak which he said was the best he’d ever tasted. I had mussels which live up to their reputation. Service was friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend.

  • 4/5 Judith 2 years ago on Google
    Nice local food. Remembering good old times from thee past, when I lived in Belgium and ate mussels with french fries and mayonaise!

  • 4/5 Christina G. 2 years ago on Google
    We ordered carpaccio, croquettes de crevettes, mussels and waterzooi. The portions were large for two persons. The tastes were really good. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was so cozy by the riverside. We would go 4,5 stars if Google had the option! ☺️

  • 5/5 Erica T. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was pretty good, not amazing. The staff were very good - they really hustled to keep everyone happy outside when every table was full. I also saw them give food to a person asking for a handout, which is appreciated. The location is perfect.

    Strolled into the De Graslei, and sat down on the terrace. Ordered dinner and drinks. Once ordered, it arrived faster then at Mc Donalds. But the food was excellent.

  • 5/5 Virginia B. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Rafael Torres F. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect location, great and friendly service (especially Carlo), and probably the best mussels I have ever tried in my life!!! 100% recommended!

  • 4/5 Helena N. 1 year ago on Google
    Very tasty food but you do pay tourist prices. We went there two days in a row. Kudos to the Italian waiter for the atmosphere. The mussels, steak, shrimp and waffles were very tasty. One minus is that the fried calamari portion is too big because of the amount of dough. Both me and my grandma had a bit of a stomach ache afterwards.

  • 5/5 Rich M. 1 year ago on Google
    We pick this restaurant often for dinners with customers. You can choose “a la carte” also with larger groups and the food n drinks are very nice. Completely satisfying and recommended.

  • 5/5 Alessia D. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice view, wonderful meal. Highly recommended. Better having a reservation during weekends

  • 4/5 David D. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food with amazing servers. I highly recommend Lasagne as well as their local sourced food. During colder days they set up gas burners to heat up the outdoor tent.

  • 5/5 AJ S. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent place for dinner, the lasagna was flavourful and creamy, it felt very upscale but the prices were reasonable. Coffees came with a belgian chocolate which was how I got to try my first official belgian chocolate! Ill definitely remember this place.

  • 4/5 Constantine V. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good cuisine. Superbe mussels with white wine. Good desserts. If you go inside you miss the river view but you’re compensated by a nice ambience with Chopin and Bach playing! You’ll get positively surprised by what you can get in such a touristy place!

  • 4/5 Peter R. 1 year ago on Google
    Not cheap, but large choice of well prepared dishes and desserts. Top location at the historic medieval harbour of Ghent. Heated outside dining available with excellent view of centuries old Guild Halls at the water front. Kodak location.

    Terrific customer service. Replaced a beer for us after the awning knocked a glass over in the wind. Drink was replaced without even asking. Very considerate. The bitter balls and pizza was delicious also.

    Fantastic location for a beer and a bite in the heart of the city. They have a wide range of items on their menu and the selection is top class. Our meal was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed the pleasant location and the friendly staff. I highly recommended this place. Must try.

    (Translated by Google) We came to eat with you yesterday evening. Everything was very below average. The scampi diabolic was very pale, the scampi were not cleaned nicely and not fresh and let's not talk about the sauce. The cocktail way overpriced for whatever it was. Little cocktail and lots of ice cubes to mess with the effective amount of the cocktail. My friend's stake was dry. The chips were anything but crispy. The cheese croquettes barely taste. The house snack was anything but fresh. Also, your prices are outrageously expensive for food where none of the products were fresh. I like to pay, but not for substandard and anything but fresh food. Really sad. I honestly don't understand why you have such good reviews. Friendly service that's the only positive thing I can say. Best regards (Original) Wij zijn gisteren avond bij jullie komen eten. Alles was zeer ondermaats. De scampi diabolic was zeer flets , de scampi waren niet mooi gekuist en niet vers en laten we zwijgen over de saus. De cocktail veel te duur voor wat het maar was. Weinig cocktail en veel ijsblokken om zo te knoeien met de effective hoeveelheid van de cocktail. Mijn vriend zijn stake was droog. De frieten waren alles behalve krokant. De kaas kroketten amper smaak. Het hapje van het huis was ook alles behalve vers. Ook zijn jullie prijzen schandalig duur voor eten waar niets van de producten vers van waren.Ik betaal graag ,maar niet voor ondermaats en alles behalve vers eten.Echt triestig.Ik snap eerlijk gezegd niet wrm jullie zo’n goeie reviews hebben. Vriendelijke bediening dat is het enige positieve wat ik kan zeggen. Mvg

    (Translated by Google) Nice cozy dining! We took a shrimp croquette as a starter which was delicious. My fish stew was also super delicious, with asparagus and cauliflower a nice twist! And wow, what a delicious creme brulee !!! On the more expensive side, but you are also in a beautiful location and very well served. (Original) Lekker gezellig dineren! Wij namen een garnaalkroket als voorgerecht wat heerlijk was. Mijn vispannetje was ook superlekker, met asperges en bloemkool ook een leuke twist! En wow, wat een heerlijke creme brulee!!! Aan de duurdere kant wel maar je zit ook op een mooie locatie en wordt zeer goed bediend.

  • 1/5 Larry N. 5 years ago on Google
    It takes a lot to get me to leave a really poor review. However, While ordering or meals, we were told a dish we ordered was not available. (Mussels....) So, instead of giving us a second to look thru the menu for another item, when we asked the female server to come back while we looked, she got an attitude, rolled her eyes, mumbled something and stormed off. There are just too many GOOD places in this area to eat at, to put up with just plain rudeness. We paid for our drinks, and left to another eatery nearby.

    We came around 5 o'clock and there were some spots free to sit outside. But we could only have a drink because the tables were reserved from 6. I could still make a reservation online, I didn't but I could have..

    I had a very nice meal the pork cheek stew with Croquettes. Had a couple of very nice beers, everything recommended by my server. She was very friendly and helpful. I came in on a Saturday Night at the rush. I recommend to try. I felt the prices were good.

  • 5/5 Sander van V. 3 years ago on Google
    Looking for the famous Ghent stew for lunch, we walked into this good looking restaurant. We were quite hungry and the lunch deal (starter and main for €22) made us decide to sit down here. The location is beautiful, close to the water on a covered terrace. The staff is friendly and very well trained, looking at the way they serve your food. The two course menu stared of with a amuse of the house (shrimp paste) an some bread and butter. The starter and main are full of flavour and worth the money every penny. I hadn't enought room in my stomach for a dessert, but I bet it would taste good as well!

    (Translated by Google) Tongues were just a little undercooked, just like the fries: not crispy enough. The free snack before it, so-called crab lettuce, had more of a salmon flavor and the accompanying pastry was very salty. However, a very smooth and enthusiastic service. (Original) Tongetjes waren net iets te weinig gebakken, net als de frietjes: niet knapperig genoeg. Het gratis hapje ervoor, zogenaamd krabsla, had eerder een zalmsmaak en het bijhorend gebakje was erg zout. Wel een zeer vlotte en enthousiaste bediening.

    Unfortunately following our visit two of our party of four got food poisoning. The location and atmosphere are brilliant if you want to grab a beer but I would advise people not to order food. The service was also very poor, the staff were rude and they were too busy chatting and laughing with each other to pay attention to the diners.
