Fodor's Expert Review Club Reserva

This café bistro offers simple, international fare, with specialties including pastas and quiches. Located just opposite the Gravensteen Hotel on the increasingly busy Jan Breydelstraat, an area attracting growing interest among food fans in recent years, the restaurant offers river views from the back room and a small waterside terrace open in good weather. It's owned by the same people behind popular nightspot Hot Club de Gand (on Groetenmarkt), so the jazz and classical music nights here tend to be special.
