We’re spending a few. Days in Ghent in early May. Does anyone have favourite eating places or bars they can recommend. We’re not after anything fancy, just mid price comfortable places. We’re staying fairly centrally.
Thanks in advance

We went to several very nice bars for Belgian beers in Ghent.
Dulle Griet has a staggering selection of beer, plus a half dozen of their house beers.
Ghent still brews a unique beer, a Gruut, at Gruut Brewery, or Stadsbrouwerij Gruut. The beer style dates from before hops were used, so a mix of herbs and other flavorings are used. If you are interested in beer, it is well worth a stop.
Waterhuis aan de Bierkant is a nice old bar, located right along the river, excellent selection.
For atmosphere, the Trollekelder is neat, takes off on a troll theme, but also very good beer.
There are also a couple craft breweries, and honestly bar after old bar, that you could easily stumble on a gem.
