We’re a small à la carte restaurant in Ghent’s oldest neighbourhood and like to do things a little bit our way: we value all things fancy, then dress them down.

Creative cooking is accompanied by rock tunes, juicy wines go hand in hand with local beers, service comes with a sense of humour. We love an energetic atmosphere, a bottle that’s half full, a certain
je ne sais quoi.

Le Jeu est Jambon is our take on a local saying. It isn’t easily defined, much like the food we serve. Expect seasonal cuisine, great produce and fun drinks in a warm and lively setting.
