Boxing WOEST

Boxing club

👍👍 The best club in Gent and totally worth it as they have few people in each session so that you get more personal attention. I learnt more boxing techniques in 2 lessons than I learnt in the previous gym in 6 months. Would absolutely recommend!

Restaurant Vrijmoed

Fine dining restaurant

👍👍 I just returned from a culinary adventure through Belgium and, of the 7 Michelin stars I racked up on the journey, the 2* Restaurant Vrijmoed was my favorite! First, I loved the setting.

Roots

Belgian restaurant

👍👍 This is one of the best meals that I have had. Each course was different and fantastic. The most impressive thing, to me, is that they took an ingredient that I generally don't like and avoid (eggplant) and made it one of the best pieces of the meal. Seriously impressive food. If you are spending ti...

Karel de Stoute

Restaurant

👍👍 Karel de Stoute was the last Duke of Bourgondy, a dynasty that not only grouped more or less for the first time different regions in what is now the Netherlands and Belgium but it also gave flemish people the connotation of being 'bourgondiers' (meaning people who enjoy excellent food and drinks). H...
