Café Boteco

What a great little corner bar and restaurant!
Excellent service and food.

Nice and cozy place. Quite crowded, but the atmosphere is really cool, as if you came to have a drink with a big family. We booked the table before our visit, but no one came to us at the entrance to offer our booked table to us, so 1st minutes I felt lost. But then we just sat at the free table. Waiters were very busy (but very friendly and polite), as there was really a lot of people. That is why we were waiting quite long to order something. But after we made our order, we received our drinks and food quickly. As for food, there is no big choice. Pasta, lasagna, penne, 5 types of salads. But the portions are really good and dishes are delicious. So, though my first visit was not ideal, I liked the place very much and definitely will come there again.

One of the best cafe in Ghent. are you in Gent? Go and see the atmosphere! 2nd floor is most of the time an artistic exhibition...
Nice interior, warm and cozy.
Delightful cocktail and different sort of Belgian 🍺 (beer). And very interested friendly stuff and owners ;-)
I like personally their vegetarian lasagna and salad.
Highly recommended...

really love the vibe and atmosphere of this cafe ! food was really great too ! owner even gave us free chocolate afterwards which was really sweet :)

Nice bar with lots of cozy indoor seating and a nice terrace in back. The owners are very friendly. They had live music when I was here, and my friends and I enjoyed many different wines and beers. A good place to spend a night chatting with old friends and meeting new friends.

Excellent bar, very friendly staff. Our neighbourhood is very happy to have them here. Cosy inside, with a nice terras outside. Sometimes with live music. You should go there!

The owner speaks Spanish, english, and more. The spaghetti is tasty, that comes from someone who dislikes pasta.

Great spot for food and drinks. Open late during the week which is great. Very friendly staff. Highly recommended for visitors and locals.

Super place! Kind and friendly people! All was perfect I highly recommand

This place is so great. You walk in and it feels like your living room(in a good way)! Cozy, friendly, and great service even though they usually have a good crowd. The back terrace is so nice... The food is clearly freshly made, we couldn’t stop going for dinner. The beer menu was deep and well priced. The best part of this place are the two owners they are so personable and take care of you. Go here!

Super cosy bar with the most hospitable person in Ghent behind the bar. Gustavo makes sure you'll have a nice night.
Also check the outdoor area, even on a chilly day the walled outdoor is perfect for a drink.

Nice café bar with wonderful staff, interesting decoration, nice food at decent prices and a good selection of beers, wines and cocktails. Well done!

Great atmosphere, friendly waiters, a generous host and very democratic prices! Worth the detour... Especially in the summer when you can enjoy the lovely terrace

Very welcoming. Offered to lay on food despite it being 9pm+ on weekday. Pretty busy. Well liked in the local area. Older crowd perhaps / more bourgeoise.

Really nice neighborhood bar. The people are amazing and the atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming. The food is more than descent and the prices in general are good.

An unlikely bar in an unlikely neighbourhood. It's like Gustavo has opened his home to you, inviting you in for a drink in his living room and garden. Great atmosphere and superb cocktails.

Very busy, very friendly service. Cosy place. Fair priced for drinks/food.

Very friendly staff! good simple variety of beers and liquors. cost place inside and nice terrace outside.

Love the place and the people there. Lovely place, great people and enjoyable music all adds up to an amazing atmosphere!

Small cozy pub with good food
