Restaurant Gillis takes its name from city architect Gillis de Suttere, who designed Ghent’s Great Butchers’ Hall in the 15th century. Today, chef-owner Bram continues that legacy with a contemporary twist: a place where craftsmanship, a passion for fine meat, and warm hospitality come together.

Bram personally tends the grill and the in-house atelier, where he matures and prepares his meat following the nose-to-tail philosophy – every part of the animal is used, from snout to tail. His wife Jozefien welcomes guests in the dining room, making everyone feel at home.

The house specialty is pure entrecôte, with a choice of more than ten different breeds, each with its own distinctive flavour. Complementing the menu is an impressive wine list of over 700 carefully curated labels, ranging from small artisanal estates to renowned classics from France, Italy, South Africa, and beyond.

Reservations are highly recommended.
