Ghent is a city known for its historic charm and stunning architecture, but for those seeking a true taste of the sea and centuries of tradition, there is only one destination: UMA Marisqueira.
As the oldest and most popular seafood restaurant in the city, we’re proud to offer more than just a meal we offer an authentic, heart-warming Portuguese dining experience right in the center of Ghent.
🏆 The Legend of the Seafood Rice
When you dine with us, you are partaking in a legacy. We confidently serve what many call the best seafood rice in the world (Arroz de Marisco).
Forget every paella you've ever had. This is a dish defined by its tradition:
The Broth: Deep, rich, and intensely flavored, simmered for hours from fresh shells and fish.
The Contents: Generous portions of prawns, clams, mussels, and chunks of white fish, ensuring you get a taste of the Atlantic in every spoonful.
The Experience: It’s a dish made for sharing, perfect for a romantic date or a lively family celebration, bringing a true slice of Portugal to your table.
🐙 Beyond the Bounty: Your Must-Try List
While the Seafood Rice is our signature, the full traditional Portuguese menu is a treasure chest waiting to be opened. Here are a few dishes you simply can't miss:
The Perfect Starter: Grilled Octopus (Polvo Lagareiro): Our octopus is slow-cooked until unbelievably tender, then perfectly grilled for a smoky, charred finish. It is often served with potatoes and plenty of olive oil a simple masterpiece.
The Comfort Food: Seafood Cataplana: This magnificent seafood stew arrives at your table bubbling hot in its signature copper pot. It’s a complex, aromatic dish of shellfish and fish stewed with white wine, tomatoes, and herbs pure Portuguese comfort.
For the Meat Enthusiast: Bife Português: Don't let the name "Marisqueira" fool you! Our Portuguese Beef Steak is a beloved classic. Tender beef served with a special sauce, a fried egg, and our home-made chips, it is the perfect savory alternative.
