    Superb bar. We visit WIN every year on a visit from London every time. The best bar in Gent. Classy, sophisticated, the wine and cheese selection are always excellent. The owner is super friendly and we enjoy supporting his business. A must visit.

    BEST CARPACCIO, BURRATA TOAST AND COFFEE. If you want a cozy, calm with good music and excellent lunch food place, here is your best deal in Gand. Cannot recommend enough. Found it by stumbling upon it while discovering the city, and the quality of the food was wayyy above what I expected. The prices are very decent. And the place is great. Deserved to be more known!

    This bar is a must visit when in Gent! In lovely bar, the owner will tell you passionately about the wines he has available at the moment, explaining you in detail where he found it, what is special about the vineyard, how the environment created the wine. You don't just drink a wine at Win, you go there to experience wine. And don't forget to try the exquisite selection of gin's and local bar bites!

    You can tell a lot by the way a business takes care of its bathroom. WIN’s sophisticated interior was well thought out, all the way to the lu. The scent, the cozy lighting and the simplicity reflects the way the owner welcomes us, with sobriety and elegance. The menu, simple yet very well put together, is clearly there to complement the essentials: wines. Loads of them. Be sure to stop by. Even if you’re in town for only a few hours.

    (Translated by Google) Wine might be nice, but I wouldn't drink a cup of coffee here. Far too weak, presentation is ok. (Original) Wijn is misschien lekker maar een tas koffie zou ik hier wel niet drinken. Veel te slap, presentatie is wel ok.

  • 5/5 Sarah B. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We have held the reception here for our loyalty (around 50p) and everything was in perfect shape. Tasty drinks and snacks in an attractive, cozy location (the wine cellar was popular :-)). Making appointments with Glenn was super easy. Recommended !! (Original) Wij hebben hier de receptie voor onze trouw (ongeveer 50p) gehouden en alles was echt tiptop in orde. Lekkere drankjes en hapjes in een sfeervolle, gezellige locatie (de wijnkelder was populair :-)). Afspraken maken met Glenn ging supermakkelijk. Aanrader!!

    Chill wine bar, serving a tasty variety of wines and bites.

  • 4/5 Sven V. 2 years ago on Google
    The quality of the wines served here make me feel good. It shows how much expertise there is behind this cute wine bar near the Gravensteen, Ghent's historic center. E.g., the sweet wine I had was quite balanced with plenty of acidity. I had a 2021 Moscato d'Asti, which is very young, but the advantages here are that it's also refreshing and light, which is what I need in a sweet wine. It did miss a bit of a surprise element for me. A MdA is seldomly extraordinary in my (current) experience, sadly it wasn't proven otherwise. A really good sweet wine is hard to make, and even harder to find. Still enjoyed the wine a lot, though (hence the 4*). For me, the expertise that was shown in the choice of wines didn't truly come forward in the server, who seemed to be very charming and definitely loves his job (which is really important for a nice atmosphere), but he didn't seem to be up-to-date about the products he was serving. A bit of extra product knowledge would crank that up! All in all I had a good feeling at this bar. It is a very nice place, all the basics are there and then some. You should check it out when you're visiting our town!

    Had a flat white, very good taste! Loving the interior. Recommended place for sure. Didn't try out wine yet.

  • 5/5 Jasper J. 4 years ago on Google
    Owner has a clear vision with this bar and handpicks his wines from mostly organic and small-scale domains across the world. Every new production each year is tasted. Continuously chaning menu covering pretty much the entire globe and taste pallet. Apart from the menu wines which can also be bought to take home, there's a wine cellar with 2500+ bottles - you cannot taste or visit, but the owner selects bottles based on your preferences.

    (Translated by Google) Nice wine bar; I missed what a description of the wine. I thought the menu was a bit too simple in that regard. The glass that I had was tasty and good. We do help with searching for the right wine. Nice bar and if I still pass, I will definitely jump in. (Original) Leuke wijnbar; Ik miste wel wat een beschrijving van de wijn. De kaart vond ik iets te sober op dat vlak. Het glas dat ik had was lekker en goed. Er word wel geholpen met te zoeken naar de juiste wijn. Leuke bar en als ik er nog passeer spring ik zeker nog binnen.

    (this review is about the B&B upstairs) this B&B is genuinely one of the most beautifully aesthetic places I have ever stayed. The interior design is very pretty. The beds are very comfortable, everything was clean, the WiFi is very fast etc. Everything is exactly what you want it to be. There is complementary coffee, tea and water in the rooms. We even had some chocolate in our room! The shower is very big and the shampoo provided smelled amazing. They even had bathrobes (made with towel fabric), meaning I did not have to struggle with a halfway decently semi big towel. There were towels a-plenty in addition to the robes. It is incredibly near the city centre and literally next door to the castle. The staff was very friendly, and the breakfast absolutely delicious.
