Oh I was so disappointed… the castle looks fantastic from outside and on pictures but the inside was soulless and empty. Only in 1 hall you could see some weaponry. It was not even mentioned were they were found. The explanation on the cards was though interesting. Note that there are many stairs in the castle. If you’re not in a good physical condition, you’d have problems going up. All the spaces were just empty and looked like each other. Such a pity to waste so much space! You have a great view of Ghent at the top. Also, the entrance of the castle itself was not clear. You could see a board on which it was written ‘audio guide’ and then you have to guess …

We were lucky there was a place for us. All the other tables were booked. We were served quite quickly and very friendly. The food was good. Definitely an address to keep. There is a nice terras where you can eat outside. Under the Theaterplein there is a huge parking. If there is an event in the Stadsschouwburg this one could be full. There are however a few other parkings in the neighbourhood.

Nice food and that's what a restaurant needs to have 😊

We had looked up an Iranian restaurant in the neighbourhood of the shopping street. It was in the street next to Zara in Istiklal street. We were there round 16:30. By 17:00 we were out! It was very very busy and noisy. They took our order immediately. We didn’t even have 5 minutes to decide. 5 minutes later at max the food was on the table! While we were eating they were walking up and down to see if we had finished. At the same time I put my fork and knife down they were already at the table to clean. It’s not really guest friendly… at least in the Western culture. The food was good but the portions were very tiny. And of course the price is too high for the amount of food that you get. I give 4 stars for the food but I really can’t give more starts to the service and sfeer. Not for these prices. We expected more and better for a Persian restaurant.

It was like Caramel heaven for me 😅 I tried a few of them. Such nice people took our order and gave us our order immediately. I’ll definitely go back there next time I’m in Sweden.
