Frommer's Review

It might seem difficult for the food quality to equal the extravagant good looks of the restored Art Deco interior of this restaurant, but it comes pretty close. Waterzooï op Gentse wijze (a freshwater-fish stew originating in Ghent) is a favorite, and so are heaps of the big Zeeland mussels that Belgium loses its collective cool over. The Renaissance-style building from 1539 was the meeting place of De Fonteyne, a local rhetorical society.
