When we entered Le Duc, we were immediately warmly welcomed by the owner, who showed us our table in his homely restaurant. A minute later, I felt in love with this place: - the restaurant is located in a stately home, renovated with lots of taste, - the tables have ample space between them, so that there is no risk...

One of the very best fish dinners that I have ever had. I am a very seasoned traveller but this is my first review. Mark (Cape Town)

We stayed in the hotel across this restaurant and decided on a Tuesday evening to stop by with our two year old baby son. The menu looked interesting and the interior was embezzling. Dark wood tables, a cristal chandelier set the right tone for a demanding dinner evening. The oysters were extremely fresh and of high quality, and the cuttlefish... More

Hello, many thanks for the nice review. I am happy you enjoyed your diner. Sorry for the time if you had to wait longer as usual, cause it was busy for me, the reason i was alone is cause a lot of customers don't call for a reservation. Kind regards Dimitri More

I seldom do reviews but i thought this deserved one! Not the cheapest (well what is in Belgium?) but a real find all the same and well worth checking out as from the outside you do wonder! The restaurant is only a 5 minute walk from the centre of Ghent but we were lucky as it was right opposite where... More

Excellent choice of food. We tried starters of shrimps with croquettes and soup with eel, followed by brill with samphire. There were amuse bouche of cous-cous with shrimp to begin. Lovely courtyard at the rear for dining and dramatic dining room.

We have made it a kind of habit with my wife to take a small trip to our neighbouring Belgium on my birthday. And so we did this year, too, ending up in Ghent and in this great restaurant for dinner. Before our journey, I had done my homework and read the good comments on Tripadvisor. The restaurant is much... More

We live in Ghent and were in need of a restaurant nearby. We asked some friends and heard about a new restaurant, they gave us the advise that we had to visit them for there fair price and excellent food. We ordered the Markt menu and had a wonderful meal for only 35EU. Starter was a soup, I can't recall... More

This restaurant is new to Ghent, but both the chef and the host are very experienced and clearly know what they're doing. In a wonderful old building they both strive to give you the very best. The food at leDuc is classical-French inspired, but the young chef works miracles with textures and colours. His plates look great, and my meal... More

This recently opened restaurant has a very nice interior with sufficient space between the tables. There also is the possibility for dining outside. We had just a 1 course dinner, all 3 dishes were very nice and delicious.
