    The breakfast is very simple,nothing special however it is very expensive!We asked for a brunch to share, when the plate arrived we thought it is for 1 person as it is looking like that but they charged us €42 for this! Totally shocked! Than my sister ordered 1 for herself and the plate was almost same, the only extra item we had for extra €21 is one more dry fig and yoghurt.. Very much dissappointing!

    Unfortunately very disappointed. I was having breakfast here, because of the good reviews. So I was willing to pay the pretty expensive breakfast menu of around 24€ and had high expectations for this price. It included a coffee, orange juice and a variation of small foods (cherries, cheese, salmon, cereal) and bread. My biggest problem was, that the quality of the food was not reasonable for the price. The "fresh orange juice" was definetly fresh out of the box or at least streched with supermarket orange juice. Come on you can really taste the difference. The bread was also not fresh, tasted like the bread you can buy in a plastic box and put it in the oven. Also the cheese was supermarket cheap branded. The coffee was good. I also didnt like that the waitress didn't even bother to ask if we liked it or not. Seriously, FranzGustav: the location seems pretty nice and cozy, but when you ask for this very high price, deliver the quality or lower the price.

    The cook must have changed since most of the pictures were posted because our Eggs Benedict looked nothing like the photos in the reviews. It was a bed of rocket, with an untoasted "muffin" and a single, barely cooked egg on top. Service took over half an hour to bring out the food. Really not impressed... perhaps they had a bad day, but our experience was nothing like the other reviewer's

    Great place with a fun vibe and really nice food. The toast with ricotta and tomatoes was wonderful. Sadly somewhat overpriced and a lack of attention to details: half broken plates, non working salt grinder, slightly undercooked eggs, to name a few.

    I was very disappointed of this place. For what the brunch costs I was AT LEAST expecting quality ingredients, but this was not the case. The orange juice wasn’t even natural, the coffee was average and the food tasted like out of a supermarket plastic box.

    (Translated by Google) In one word: TOP! One of the, if not the best, brunches in Ghent. Certainly for the price. A very extensive brunch in a cozy setting. Despite the small kitchen, everything comes quite smoothly under the guidance of a smooth and friendly service. Do not hesitate! (Original) In één woord: TOP! Eén van de, als niet beste brunchen van Gent. Zeker voor de prijs. Een zeer uitgebreide brunch in een gezellig kader. Ondanks kleine keuken komt alles best vlot onder leiding van een vloeiende en vriendelijke bediening. Niet twijfelen!

    (Translated by Google) As a group of 8 people you do not have a free card choice. The broccoli soup was delicious. The quiche and toast also tasted good. Very positive: still water is free. Unfortunately, the service did not work out: 2 times something was forgotten and then charged anyway. (Original) Als Gruppe von 8 Personen hat man keine freie Kartenwahl. Die Brokolisuppe war sehr lecker. Die Quiche und der Toast haben auch geschmeckt. Sehr positiv: stilles Wasser ist kostenlos. Leider hat der Service nicht so geklappt: 2 mal wurde etwas vergessen und dann trotzdem verrechnet.

    I really wish I had taken more pictures of the inside of this place. Lots of detail that makes it feel really cozy. They had me sit at the bar because they were going to be really packed as the morning rolled on. Totally fine with me as I wanted to take my time, finish my book and enjoy my breakfast and a good coffee before catching my train back to Germany. I got a vanilla iced latte macchiato and the trio of mushrooms eggs Benedict. It's pretty impossible for me to not order Benedict when I see it on a menu, especially since not many places have it in Germany. This was a wonderful dish. It wasn't served on an English muffin but more of a sweet bread, which worked so well with the savory mushroom flavors. The coffee hit the spot. Wish I had one more day to come back here!

    Wow. Just ... unbelievable. This is by far the best breakfast/brunch I had in Ghent. To be fair, the home-made iced tea and lemonade could've used some tuning up (yes, I'm offering my services here 😛), but when we tasted the eggs benedict with pulled chicken ... I almost fell from my chair, that's how good it was! It had the perfect touch of acidity from the Hollandaise sauce with the savory and expertly made pulled chicken, perfectly boiled eggs and yummy bread. It was pure HEAVEN! This deserves an applause 👏 And the same goes for the American pancakes, that were just so fluffy and rich in flavor. I love how the strawberries were so delicious (I come from a region that produces a lot of fruit, so I have a taste for it). The scone that we had was super good, too. The flavor was perfect and it had the right crispiness. Clotted cream is my favorite type, but the best of this dish was the jam that went with it 🤤 Anyway, thanks soooo much for this delight and for the great service we had, even though it was really busy. This made our day 🙏

    Absolutely loved the place and the food! Nice staff as well. Great brunch option in Gent!

  • 5/5 Ritika S. 1 year ago on Google
    We stumbled to this spot away from the center for a late breakfast/brunch. Despite all the tables being full outside, the kind server bought us a table from the inside and set it up on the terrace. We order an eggs benedict and the pancakes, both dishes far exceeded expectations. The ingredients were fresh and high quality. We ended the meal with the egg soldiers my friend was excited to show me. Again the egg was cooked perfectly with the liquid center characteristic of the egg soldier. If I am ever in Ghent, definitely coming back here for the good food and the very friendly service.

    If you want breakfast done right, this is the place to be. The cappuccinos are divine, everything is fresh and good quality. We had eggs Benedict and they were the best we have ever had. Recommend.

    The on line booking did not work but they had a space outside. Very limited space inside. Food was good. Waitress was very helpful

  • 5/5 Artz M. 10 months ago on Google
    The food was delicious, eggs benedict on point and also the çilbir that I didn’t know before was very tasty. Coffee was great as well and they served us tap water with all the food and coffee, which is a very simple extra niceness in the area and will certainly make me come back.

  • 4/5 Mathilde F. 11 months ago on Google
    We had a good time in franzgustav. The staff were very friendly and the place was beautiful (we ate inside but there were a lot of tables available outside). We went early morning so it was not too crowded. I really enjoyed the eggs Benedict and the iced oat-milk latte. My partner was not a huge fan of the iced americano but enjoyed the yogurt. We would recommend booking a table in advance, especially if you want to eat outside.

  • 4/5 Adriana N. 1 year ago on Google
    Cosy place with very good food and coffee. A bit overpriced for what you get. Eggs not cooked enough

  • 2/5 Rebeca L. 8 months ago on Google
    Disappointing experience for us. We went to this café because of the good reviews and we ended up quite disappointed. To start with, we had to wait more than 45 min for our food, and when it finally arrived to us the “Eggs Benedict” turned up to be just ONE uncooked egg with some Hollandaise sauce on top. I don’t really recommend this place, not worth the 20 min walk from the city Center.

  • 5/5 Rupert M. 4 years ago on Google
    Great brunch on a Sunday morning! The food was really great and the waiters very friendly. It can get quite busy and a bit crowded especially when the first customers are leaving after beakfast and the next wave enters the restaurant. Enjoyed it a lot and will definitely go there again!

    Coming here is a great way to start your lazy Sunday morning. The food is tasty and of high quality, but it’s not super much. Also make sure to make a reservation because it gets crowded!

    (Translated by Google) Nice coffee and Chai latté, friendly service and nice atmosphere. During the weekend you can only order the extensive, and relatively expensive, brunch menus. Not really suitable for a small hunger or a quick lunch. For soup lovers you can order a soup of the day. (Original) Lekker koffie en Chai latté, vriendelijke bediening en leuke sfeer. In het weekend kan je enkel de uitgebreide, en relatief dure, brunch menu's bestellen. Voor een kleine honger of snelle lunch dus niet echt geschikt. Voor de soepliefhebbers kan je wel een dagsoep bestellen.

  • 4/5 Kenny C. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice location with a nice terrace. Located just outside the busy city center. The breakfast formulas are not too extensive, but tasty, and they are good value for money. Not immediately suitable to come with children. (Original) Toffe locatie met een leuk terras. Gelegen net buiten het drukke stadscentrum. De ontbijtformules zijn niet al te uitgebreid maar wel smakelijk, en ze hebben een goede prijs-kwaliteit verhouding. Niet meteen geschikt om met kinderen langs te komen.

    Awesome place to brunch... the atmosphere is very relaxed with friendly service. The Brunch is amazing with lots of fresh products and local cheeses. The vegetarian alternative does not feel like an alternative, highly recommended!!!
