-
Rank 1. Commotie
Japanese
A creative restaurant in Gent where the minimalist Japanese decor and leafy terrace lend the whole room a monastic calm, right up until the food arrives and demands your full attention. The chef works through fermentation, open-flame cooking, and sharp acidic sauces, with natural wines chosen by a sommelier who clearly has opinions. The kind of place where quiet surroundings and quietly ambitious cooking end up in an interesting argument.

Rank 1. Rizoom
Modern Japanese
Koji fermentation and dry-ageing drive the menu at this creative restaurant in Ghent, where the chef's Japanese technique shapes dishes built around umami and seasonal produce. The room is a post-industrial loft that somehow feels cosy, and the open kitchen puts the whole process on display. The wine and sake list is serious enough that ordering a glass takes a quiet minute. A place for people who think about where sauces come from.
