This may be just on the border of “fine dining” but this subreddit’s standards, but some may be interested in Pakhuis for a steal of a business lunch in Ghent.
€20.50 gets you two courses, each chosen from three options. After an amuse-bouche of some kind of spicy cheese puffs (photo 1) and bread (2), I opted for an appetizer “pasta salad” with arugula, feta, zucchini, and sun-dried tomato (3) and a main of “salmon flan” (really a sort of fishloaf) with a potato-cauliflower mash and sorrel sauce (4). Service was a bit sluggish, but the food was excellent, especially at that price point. The salmon was light but flavorful and the salad nicely balanced. I ate alfresco on the tiered patio, but I’d recommend checking out the interior of the restaurant, a beautifully converted warehouse (5–7).
The restaurant is 5–10 minutes walk from the main tourist sites (the castle and cathedrals), so I’d recommend for a lunch on a sightseeing trip.

Well personally i don’t think this is considered “fine dining” at all 👀 this is just dining
Restaurants like this are great, I would consider this probably casual upscale dining not fine. Fine dining usually has fantastic service, more intimate siting spaces, and the food generally is telling a story with the ingredients (in a perfect world). Looks great though and the price seems pretty fantastic for what you’re getting.
This is in the wrong subreddit.
Wrong sub Reddit, this sub isn’t for food, it’s for people ticking off Michelin stars
What’s with the ‘anything can be fine dining’ agenda? There’s plenty of food/dining subs.
Going to open up a bag of cheesy puffs now. I feel like Gordon Ramsay.
I like it. Fine dining doesn’t have to ALWAYS be molecular gastronomy and edible art.
I like these kind of Posts. Sure, the cheese puffs are pushing it, but otherwise its refreshing to see this. I like posts about business lunches and the like. Love to see how ‘luxurious’ it can get for not too much money.
The variation in the posts is fun to me.
Edit; downvoted for an opinion. Lmao thx Goebbels.
Agreed, wrong sub, but is there is sub for more casual stuff? Sort of a Michelin Bib sub?
