Oak

Excellent place to spend a great evening. Upon entering the restaurant the whole kitchen and staff greets you and welcomes you very warmly into this lovely place. The starters arrive very fast so you can start discovering the meticulously hand made food creations right away. I would recommend to take the pairing wines with the main courses to fully enjoy the experience. They come with a great explanation from the sommelier and some are only available there on the spot and nowhere else. We've enjoyed the whole evening and the desserts were simply amazing! The coffee table which is in a different cozy area was the cherry on the top. Would definitely recommend for food lovers!

The best restaurant in the world! I am in love with their chef with the stuff they r just so good in every measure! Creativity, ingredients, combination, textures.. I find their menu, every menu, surprising in the level of genus. This chef know not only the super accurate way cooking every piece of everything he also know so many products and so many ingredients, his world is so rich I feel richer every time I eat there! their service is also I have to mention unbelievable. Their wine girl (sorry I didn’t ask for her name) is fantastic! I actually never met anyone so passionate like her about wines and that makes her exceptionally professional and exceptionally good matching the wine to the dish/person. So many and much talent in this restaurant! I did 2 and 3 stars including Italy ones, New York ones also, and again, without a second thought, for me they are the best value for money ever. I actually asked for scissors from the waiter and cut 2 stars out of a piece of papers I had in my bag and gave it to their chef. This unbelievable talented guy so humble told me he would give it to the stuff they deserve it. How can u not fall In love. They all deserve it.

Just amazing. Great atmosphere. Nice and cosy sitting. Very nice staff and chef and the best food I ever ate. Take the full menu, full option with all wines!

Great experience,room is minimalist and it’s all about the food! Service is well orchestrated wine pairing perfectly chosen! Thank you for this amazing experience! Great réflexion of Ghent! Not pretentious,opened mind and pure quality! Was the high light of my trip

Only one thing I can say... I am speechless food was not just great, it was fabulous 👌 The service and people that worked there were more than fabulous 👉 The sommelier was more than great! Everything was awesome!!! + really cool the chef came to the table (aka Marcello, really nice guy) I can keep going but I am really happy about my evening, that's my conclusion 😁

By the end of the year @oak_gent will move from their historical location. Here we enjoyed 10 years of culinary pleasure. From that first bite to the last, @marcelo_ballardin and his team @oak_gent delivered always joy and excellence on every plate 🦞 And @valeirg makes wine pairing an art🍇 She combines classic choices with wines with a twist. A joy for the pallet. Curious what the future will bring us in the new location. #weingutgeyerhof @geyerhof #crissantealessandria @crissantealessandria #domainecastera @domainecastera #burja @demetercs.official #closdelômmalvasia @bodega_closdelom #meuzenne @vindeliege #terrassesdularzac @domainedemontcalmes #fridayvibes #lunchwithfriends🍴 #joyforlife #michelinstarrestaurant

We came with hopeful expectations and left absolutely satisfied. The atmosphere is upscale but not stiff. The service quick and friendly. The flavor combinations and preparation of the dishes were refined yet not overly wild. While I'm proud of being a decent hobby cook, eating here reminded me like few other restaurants about the difference between an amateur and true professionals. Rarely is a humbling experience such as this as enjoyable. Given the obviously higher price range it's not a place we can hope to visit frequently but it was worth every Euro and we'll at least try to make it again some day. Compliments to the staff and the chef.

Had a fabulous meal at Oak tonight…best dinner I have had in a while. Compared to Publiek & Heritage, where I ate earlier this week, Oak is just better across the board. Better food, better wine, better service, better everything. There is a family feeling to this place, with the chef helping to serve food where necessary, which is a really nice touch. I had many excellent courses on the tasting menu but the best, for me, was the Gambero prawn, hammered into a thin circle and served on a tiny bed of delicious risotto…it was just MINDBLOWINGLY GOOD. This was one of the dishes that I forgot to take a photo of…as it looked so good, I had to eat it right away! I also had the paired wines that were selected by a young lady who clearly knew her stuff…one of her “wines” was actually a delicious local beer. Everything was perfectly matched with dinner though…wished nailed the choices. If you love food, you will love Oak. 100% recommended.
