Delicious food, that’s our Roots!
Since day one, when Roots opened its doors in the picturesque Gentse Patershol, this super no-nonsense eatery has received nothing but praise. A true bistronomy concept, which was also confirmed by Gault&Millau when it awarded Roots the title of Best ‘Gastro-bistro’ of the Year a few years ago. Kim Devisschere is the chef behind the stove in the open kitchen and has already made a name for himself in the kitchens of Horseele, Volta, and Publiek. Hostess Nele Victoor also brings a wealth of experience and adds the perfect touch of flair in the dining room.
Roots offers a lunch menu (including a few small snacks, main course, and dessert) for just €30. There is one fixed menu, and daily adjustments are made based on market availability. For €60, the chef takes you through a stunning 5-course journey. Combinations such as bass tartare, smoked mussels, and sorrel, or a beautiful piece of cod paired with a delicate seafood jus, are presented by the chef himself at the table with an explanation. Again, intense flavors are present in the dessert, with panna cotta complemented by elderflower, strawberries, and buttermilk ice cream! This pure cuisine is complemented by wines and beers with an artisanal and natural character. Roots takes you back to the essence!
Purity – back to the roots!
