Traveler reviews
Kristof van Doorne
★★★★★2 months agoOutstanding experience at Rizoom in Ghent. Beautifully refined dishes, top-quality ingredients and impeccable service in a warm, stylish setting. Creative cuisine without being pretentious. One of the best dining experiences in Ghent — highly recommended.
Jeroen Roegiers
★★★★★2 years agoIncredibile good fish dishes with a great Japanese inspiration. (Wasabi root grated on sharkskin, anyone?) We had the non-alcoholic drinks to match and were blown away by the tastes (bell pepper and mandarin juice?!) The price isn't cheap but honest. The young staff is super friendly and welcoming. I know I'm going back.
