Roots

Dinner at Roots was so good on all counts: the food, the service, and the ambiance/vibe. I ordered the set dinner menu which included 4 amuse bouche (all wonderfully delicious), followed by 2 starters - I especially loved the kohlrabi with gurnard ceviche, the main was a Duroc pork with a plum sauce. For dessert I opted for the supplemental cheese course (5 different types from various parts of Europe and all new to me). Their bread (baked on premise) is also fabuloous. And finally, if you're looking for the cuttlery, check out the built-in drawers on your table. I've only ever seen it once in NYC but I believe it originated at restaurants in Japan.

Excellent service and food. Each course was delicious, and tasted fresh. We particularly enjoyed the duck for main course and strawberry dessert in this particular menu. we would definitely come back !

I don't have the words to describe how amazing this place is. Incredible food (set menu) served in a beautiful courtyard, shaded by trees by people who are able to make you feel both special and completely at ease. If you find yourself in Ghent please make sure you treat yourself to a meal here, you won't regret it. I was too captivated by some of the dishes to remember to photograph them, but here are the ones I did remember

Walking into a foreign county’s famed restaurant could seem daunting. These team made us feel like family from the very beginning! A wonderfully creative tasting menu, paired with some of the best discovery wines we’ve ever enjoyed! Impossible to overhype. These guys are fantastic at their craft. A++.

Their lunch set is great value for money — the food was surprisingly good, the service was excellent, and the drinks were very satisfying!
