This place is very loved by people of the neighborhood. It has everything a Ghentian loves: breakfast between 9 and 11 am, decent dish of the day (only 2 options a day, and one of them is vegetarian), local beers and a TV screen to watch cycling races. Nothing fancy, but very REAL.

This supermarket is closest to our house. It's rather small but you'll find absolutely everything to prepare decent breakfast/meal yourselves. And the people that work there are so friendly; every single day! (closed on Monday mornings, but open on Sunday mornings)

Vegan hotspot. Mieke is a super lovely person and vegan food specialist for a long time. At her lunch place in the city center, she prepares the most delicious sandwiches, salads and muffins. Yum!

You won't find a place in the city with a menu that's more healthy than at PLUS+. But I guarantee you that you'll leave this place satisfied. The plates are very colorful and stuffed with power foods. Recommended!

Woops, another 'healthy food' place! But hey, you will definately walk out of this shop/bar with a smile on your face. It's actually a small food market with organic products only. In addition, they serve the most delicious vegan dishes as lunch. I like spending time there SO much, I sometimes consider quitting my job and go working there, haha!

FRENCH fries, say what?? BELGIAN they are! That 's the reason we have so much 'frituren' : snack bars that only sell fries and other fried food such as a 'frikandel' (sausage). Frituur Jozef is only one of them, located on one of the main squares of Gent, the Vrijdagsmarkt. If you want to enjoy your fries in the real Ghentian buzzy atmosphere, go there on a friday or saturday at lunch time because then there is a market on the square. If you like it calm, walk to the nearby Kraanlei and relax while eating at the waterfront.

The Belfry is one of the 3 towers that defines the skyline of Gent. During a visit, you'll discover its history and ends all the way up for an amazing view over the city.

Together with the Belfry and the Saint Nicholas church, it's part of "The 3 towers of Gent" skyline. A visit inside is worthwhile because the famous "Lam Gods" painting is located in the cellar. It's a master piece of the Flemish Primitives brothers Van Eyck and still hot topic nowadays. Disovering the rich history of the painting is a must!

My favorite museum in town! The extensive collection shows design from the Middle Ages until now and its impact on daily life. Also the temporary expositions are often worth a visit.

A menu full of dishes from around the world, an astonishing interior and amazing atmosphere: Mosquito Coast has it all! Their terrace on the backside is a really nice place in the very center of the city, but away from the crowd.
! Their mojito's and sangria are dangerously delicious !

The concept: straight forward comfort food of a Flemish grandma. The duo that's running this restaurant once participated in a famous TV show " My Restaurant" and is now living their dream. One address when looking for the real Belgian food like stoverij (stew), stoemp (mash potatoes with vegetables), shrimp croquettes etc in a cosy atmosphere.
