The door only seems closed. But not really. Push, and you are bathed in light. And that seems to lie on your clothes and make them velvet. For a moment. The coat, off. The table, wood. The amuse just as you have found your place on the chair. Self-chosen, the place. Wine comes — right wine, right glass. The light has gone down while the conversation has started.

And you taste: evening, company, potato but different.

Publiek Restaurant Gent

Restaurant Publiek is a place where you leave more in love than you came in. Thanks to the food, yes. But also thanks to all those little things that make the difference between a weeknight and one that you continue to enjoy.

We do our utmost not to be perfect.
