We were staying close by and so wanted to give them a try. We walked by and asked for a reservation later in the day. Staff was accommodating and helpful in picking cuts and breeds we would like, see photos. Truly a beef/​meat place with the opportunity to try unique breeds and locations of meat. We got to review the cuts before preparation. We had the Goat Cheese salad which was excellent and the steaks could have fed two. Great service and wines.

Went here for my sister’s birthday (her pick).
We started with house champagne and then ordered starters. These took a while to arrive, but were very good in quality. I had the duo of pork croquettes, my dad had the laqued pork belly and my sister had the bone marrow. Now, while everything was very nice, the portions of certain items (the bone marrow specifically, 4 bones is a bit much as a starter) were definitely on the larger side of things. Meanwhile wine was ordered too and we had a nice Spanish red wine.
I ended up getting the Entrecôte of Simmental as a main, which again was on the large side (managed to finish about half of it). It was perfectly cooked though. The fries and salad weren’t much to write home about though (neither was the chicory salad according to my dad).
Didn’t bother with dessert as I was already full.
One other remark I have is that the temperature in the restaurant was definitely on the warm side. I was sitting in a T-​shirt and was still sweating.

Tired from a long work day and driving to Gent for a first time visit, you just want to eat something easy and quick and go to bed. Advised by our airbnb host we went searching for a simple Italian, and instead we walked in Gilles… How fortunate we did! We sat down, when immediately a Belgian couple seated at the table next to us told us that we arrived ‘at the right place’. ‘The chef used to be a a very good butcher and started this place specializing in meat, the meat is excellent here’. The woman of the couple turned out to be a ‘meat journalist’. We ordered the charcuterie to start with, and the french beefsteak… Because we weren’t that hungry we asked if we could share a starter and main course; it was no poblem at all and the chef made two plates for the main course and two separate bowls of fries for each. Very hospitable! When my spanish girlfriend noticed there was some of the best spanish ham (jamon) on display in the middle of the restaurant, and I told the chef that we saw the jamon, he immediately cut of a few slices himself and brought us an extra plate. Free of charge, of course. Then, the beefsteak, ayayay, mouthwatering… Come try it yourself, together with the great typical belgian ambiance and hospitality.

This is one of this restaurants that you would travel from other city to enjoy the high quality of the food! They have meat speciality, so you would be able to enjoy very different types of meat (the owner was a butcher before so that’s why all the meat selection is excellent). The service is great, and they take care of small details. I ordered a ‘charcuterie’ starter and afterwards a stake to share with my boyfriend, and they even brought 2 plates with salad and fries. Very nice atmosphere. Definitely a highly recommended restaurants, I can even say one of my favorites in the world !!
