Max - Gent

This restaurant is a charming spot! It truly stands out as a gourmet highlight in our city visit. The decor has been preserved beautifully, transporting you to another era. Be sure to try Max's famous waffles - you won't regret it. They also have a store next door, unfortunately closed on Sundays (but that just means you'll have to come back!). The attentive servers take good care of you and can speak English. The menu is available in multiple languages, including French.

Superb art deco establishment. Fruity blouses are delicious and impressive. Servers are very kind. A good time to relax.

Have discovered this café via social media and wanted to try it out immediately. There should be the best Brussels waffles in Ghent, so we dared try. We had the classic waffle with whipped cream. Unfortunately, the waffle didn't taste us, because the dough was still a bit soy and the taste was a bit strict. Also a tick too salty for our taste. We would have wished the waffle fluffier, we also find the price of 8.50€ not justified. Another manko was the policy here in the café, we just wanted to share a waffle and continue directly, but here we are obliged to order waffle and a drink. The drinks start from €4.50 for a Coke Zero, for example, so much too expensive. That is why, unfortunately, no recommendation.

The beignets at this restaurant are incredible! I would give it 5 stars if the staff wasn't so rude. They were cold and dismissive - not sure if it was because we were American. The decor is very cute and the beignets served with chantilly cream are delicious. The tea was also presented in a cute way.

Etablissement Max is an elegant brasserie with lovely art nouveau decorations situated in Ghent. This restaurant uses sixth-generation family gas waffle irons to make their Brussels waffles. Locals from Flanders typically order the classic waffle with butter and powdered sugar. I decided to try the Max waffle, which is a delightful mix of fresh fruit, Grand Marnier, whipped cream, and powdered sugar. It was beautifully presented and absolutely indulgent!
