Just wow - Edit
Food can be art. Amaranth proves it. We had an amazing experience last year there and are planning to go back. It’s expensive (~200 euros) and I wondered if it would be worth it before going, overwhelmingly the answer is “yes”. I have some intolerances and they changed the menu to accommodate. Great!

Excellent Vegan fine cuisine - Edit
After being disappointed with vegan Michelin starred food, I went to Amaranth with mixed expectations about the vegan gastronomic cuisine. It opened my eyes. The chef Pieter-Jan Lint can cook vegan like nothing I have ever tasted. After 2 years the experience remains the best and most surprising vegan dinner I have ever had. The appetisers and desert being the highlight of the course. This is simply a must visit for every vegan food lover. (His vegan ‘cook’books are amazing too)

A journey for the taste buds! - Edit
Please note, this is a very fine gastronomic cuisine.
Read moreIt's a pretty small and popular place, so you have to make a reservation.
Reservation can be done online and requires a deposit.
It is a full menu experience, it's very expensive, now it was a decent trip of gastronomic vegan dishes with the right drinks going with it.
They have great staff, with great personalities.
The owners are very active in the restaurant, very hospitable, and very open to talk.
We had a great experience!
Pros: Excellent gastronomic cuisine, Beautiful place, Lovely staff
Cons: Expensive, Deposit for reservation

Onvergetelijke culinaire ervaring - Edit
Amaranth heeft alle verwachtingen overtroffen en is zonder twijfel een van de beste dining ervaringen die ik ooit heb gehad. Dit restaurant bewijst dat veganistische keuken niet alleen gezond en duurzaam kan zijn, maar ook ongeloofelijk verfijnd en verrukkelijk. Ik kan niet wachten om hier opnieuw te dineren en meer van hun culinaire meesterwerken te ontdekken. Absoluut een aanrader voor iedereen die van eten houdt!

Hemelse belevenis - Edit
Amai @amaranth_plantbased wat een hemelse belevenis🥰
Read moreNog nooit hadden we zo heerlijk en verfijnd mogen dineren.
Alles klopte tot in de kleine details ❣️
We voelden ons door de bediening net een koningskoppel.
We konden onze 20e huwelijksverjaardag op geen betere plek vieren.
Van het gerecht met de asperges ga ik nog lang nadromen🥰
De foto's doen de gerechten niet echt eer aan maar geven toch een idee van alle kunstwerkjes die we voorgeschoteld kregen🥰
Pros: Overheerlijke verfijnde smaken, Sfeervol ingericht en vriendelijke bediening , Ze houden rekening met je intoleranties

An outstanding experience! - Edit
This was my first gastronomic experience since I am vegan, and it was perfect, even beyond my expectations!
Read moreEvery small dish was the result of a fine work. There were so many different tastes, textures, colors,... Each discovery was a real gustative pleasure.
The staff is very caring and we had the pleasure to discuss with the Chef at the end of the evening.
We also loved the place, beautiful and peaceful.
I definitely recommend this place for a special experience.

Het is de moeite waard om te wachten op een reservatie in dit prachtige restaurant. De bediening en de eigenaars zijn zeer open en enorm vriendelijk. De gerechten zijn stuk voor stuk kunstwerkjes en smaakbommetjes.

Plantbased fine dining. Delicious but very expensive - Edit
January 2023 Update -
Read moreWent dining on a Friday evening in January to the restaurant in Merelbeke.
The food is sublime. Heavenly. Nicely presented too. Very friendly service.
But very, very expensive. 125 euro for the Season's menu. 50€ for accompanying non-alcoholic drinks with each course.
Luckily, we had a coupon as a present from friends, thank you 😄
It was however very crowded in the small restaurant. Tables fairly close next to each other. That made it extremely loud (accoustics), we could barely have a conversation, by the end of the evening we really wanted to leave. I had a splitting headache.
+ at that price, one would expect better comfort and attention to extras (wooden chairs, no table cloths, ...). Those may be details, but add to the whole dining out experience (especially at that price).
One thing about the presentation. There was one dish (fake coquilles - from mushrooms) that was presented in a large clam/coquille shell. Don't really like food being served in animal products., Even if the shell was fake (I know they make these looking very much like real shells, so could be) it gives the impression that animal products are OK to be used (I gave a presentation about this at the IARC - it's on You Tube😉
Entrance not accessible (although they did mention they have a ramp available 'in case') - no accessible toilet.
Changed from 5 stars to 4 stars.
------------------------------------
Dec 2020 Update - we had a gastronomic take away dinner for Christmas. 75€ pp. Delicious, although on the expensive side!
-------------------------------------
Fall 2019: Pieter-Jan Lint did the catering at a birthday party of a friend.
We were served a ten-course menu.
Everything was beautifully presented and tasted simply delicious. A real feast!
Service was also swift. Courses followed in a timely manner (not too quick, not too slow).
Really enjoyed it.
When he opens a restaurant, we will surely visit!

I loved how the ambience is so calm and tasteful, without being pretentious. Same with the food journey, very interesting flavour experience, beautifully presented and showing mastery in technique and plant-based combinations. For a slow, special and palate stimulating food experience. Amazing work!

High-end restaurant - Edit
Finally! I think a bunch of people were waiting for Pieter Jan Lint to start something like this, and he did not disappoint. We had 11 dishes, all awesome. Choose the accompanying wine or juices, both are very nice.

Refined, delicious, high level 100% vegan fine dining - Edit
We opted for the all-in formula with extra dish. We enjoyed the refined plates and matching non-alcoholic juices immensely. Very surprising and incredibly tasty combinations! Surprising how these juices actually do more than wine with a dish. Everything vegetable with a nod to the recognisable flavours. Very welcoming interior and friendly, easy-going service. Nice that the chef also comes to the table. We will certainly return!
Read morePros: Refined fine dining at top quality, 11 dishes, Choice for juice pairing, wine pairing, ..., Close to Ghent & large parking space.
