Amazing bakery in the centre of Ghent. The best chocolate tart I have ever tasted. Macaroons to put the French to shame. Bokkenpootjes that redefine the whole concept of bokkenpootjes. Very nice staff and reasonable prices too.

Very friendly restaurant in Patershol designed on a wacky clock theme. Good food at reasonable prices.

Ghent specialisms including waterzooi, eels and a magnificent beef in beer stew. A good range of others too, including a delicious fish soup and a rather special pork, bacon and sausage dish served with sorrel mash.

The waiters were good fun and 'very good' in Flemish turned out to be 'veer lekken' with a bit of Welsh (as in coch) on the double kk.

Corduwainers 65. Just off Kranlei on the edge of Patershol. Tel 32(0)9 223 42 41.

It is the hottest mustard I've ever encountered in the world and is only found in Ghent. It goes particularly well as a dip for cheese alongside your beer.

Just past the Korenmarkt, heading towards the Graveenstein.

It is a little chip van that provides quality frites with mayonnaise. Just what is needed for a truly Belgian experience!

Vridajmarkt, near the massive socialist style building with a large window and clock.

Brasserie Pakhuis is a fantastic restaurant just off the main shopping street (Veldstraat).

It is housed in a fantastic, converted warehouse which makes an amazing setting for a meal.

Food is a wonderful mixture of French and Italian. They also do great fish platters with whole lobsters etc. There is an extensive wine list, and also (of course) an extensive list of beers. As well as the restaurant there is also a bar which you can visit for a drink.

Pakhuis is popular with locals, which I always think is a good sign.

Have a look at their website for a menu and an idea of what it looks like.
