Gent

Restaurants

Cafe Parti - (Belgian/modern) Located near the train station in Gent, this modern brasserie has excellent food and service. NOT in the old town center but nevertheless worth the effort. A 20 minute walk along the canal from the center or 1 minute walk from the train station. The bouillabaisse was superb.

Belga Queen - (Belgian/modern) in the historic center of Gent, the restaurant is the sister to the one in Brussels and the one I prefer due to its fabulous location on the canal in a medieval flemish-style building. Here you will find all the flemish standards as well as incredible seafood plateaux (raw bar offerings).
