Rococo Ghent
Cozy and romantic
Patershol is a very cozy old neighbourhood close to the city center. It's mainly know for its nice atmosphere and a bunch of restaurants, but there is also a very special bar. Although the name is officially rococo, most people now it as "Betty", the name of the pleasant owner.
The place looks like a living room. There are just a few tables, so don't be shy and go and join people at the same table. Betty will help you to find the right spot. Maybe you want to install yourself close to the romantic open fire place or maybe you prefer to be in a corner to have some private moments with your lover. The place is full of candles which creates a very warm and intimate atmosphere.
If you come here, you shouldn't be in a hurry. It could happen that you have to wait some time to get served as Betty likes to tell about her life or her latest adventures to her guests. Do not worry, your patience will be rewarded.
If she has time she makes her own ice tea, pastries and the delicious Liqueur d'amour. Of course the recipe of the last one is secret, but Betty claims a night full of passion after drinking it. I tried it, but not going to tell you on the consequences as you have to find it out yourself. And as Betty would say it as only she can with the local accent: "Geniet ervan" (enjoy it)!
