Ghent
in Flanders

Located in the heart of the city is the beloved and modern wine bar: Chubby Cheeks. A magnificent selection of natural wines, non-alcoholic wines and fun flavours one could never imagined paired with bites or as Spaniards would say “tapas”. We suggest you go in a group to order as many delicacies and wines as possible. Tartare, oysters, ham, you name it. Sip away the afternoon in this local gem. 

Take a seat at the ‘chef table’ -the bar overlooking the open kitchen- and prepare for a culinary spectacle. Many fine diners and gourmands claim this is the best restaurant in Ghent...we wholeheartedly agree. The ambience is peaceful, charming and effortlessly stylish, and the tasting menu and natural wines list are otherworldly, nothing short of extraordinary. The menu changes constantly based on the local produce and home-grown ingredients available. Every dish is a testament to their commitment to craftsmanship, from the garden to your plate. 

Trust us, you will certainly have a remarkable fine dining experience in Restaurant Publiek. Although it has a Michelin-star restaurant, it is not the typical high-end establishment. Publiek is all about closeness and simplicity. Chef Olly Ceulenaere's purpose is to create the most fun and exquisite combinations of locally sourced and ordinary ingredients. Live it up with the constantly innovative menu, good company and a glass of natural wine to have an unparalleled evening.
