Soda brasserie

Ghent, Belgium Brasserie

Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. Great little gem, French cooking (the grilled steak is recommended). Friendly service, yet a little slow when busy. Good value lunch menus. The meal was great. One downside is that it took very long before we got our food. Very carefully selected steaks are cooked over a fire. Fries, sauces and salads all excellent. Service is friendly and welcoming. Unpretentious decorations and a fire in the fireplace are comforting. Nice whisky bar. Only downside was we were one of the last tables seated and we waited quite a long time for our steak to be cooked over the fire, in the end a modest tradeoff. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Soda. The food was delicious. We had croquettes followed by steak, salad and frites. Everything was well cooked and nicely presented. The staff were very friendly and informative. A deceitful experience (today is December 14th 2023). We visited Soda Brasserie today. Specifically, according to their menu, we wanted to experience the difference between a regular Hereford Irish Rib-eye by Dierendonck and an aged Hereford Irish Angus by Dierendonck's Bible of Beef. The taste difference was marginal, in our honest opinion. There is some discussion about whether aged meats are wet-aged versus dry-aged. They indicated that the ageing process was four weeks when we asked how long it was. From what we know, the difference between wet-aged and at four weeks is marginal. There is a significant degradation in wet-aged after four weeks, while there is a considerable improvement in after 60 to 90 days. So, to say the ageing was only 28 days would indicate that there is hardly an improvement in the meat quality. When we left, I looked at the ageing fridge where they keep the meat. To my big surprise, the slaughter date of the Hereford Irish Angus was November 21st 2023. Today is a mere 23 days after the slaughter date. So, charging significantly more for so-called meat is misleading and deceitful. Other than that, the service was okay, the wine was acceptable, and the service was reasonable, although the server was unaware of the components, and had to ask in the kitchen. The meats are cooked on an open fire in the main seating area of the restaurant, but again, we were disappointed to find out how they fraudulently overcharged customers for so-called meats that are not at all. Dropped into Soda as we were en route from the Netherlands to France. This was great as not far off the highway. I'm vegetarian and of course I picked a steakhouse! Ha ha Anyway they were really accommodating. I had fantastic gazpacho soup followed by linguine carbonara which they did vegetarian by nit adding the bacon. Lovely wine, nice atmosphere. Service a little slow towards the end of our meal and not the cheapest but would certainly recommend. Super lunch on a very, very cozy terrace! Simply amazing food with kind and knowledgeable staff. What a great little gem!
