A bite to eat and a drink for less than ten euro

Places where lunch is affordable

Are you worried that a city break may make a hole in your wallet? Rest assured: it’s easy to find places in Ghent where food and drinks are not all that expensive. And when we say “cheap”, we also mean “good”!

What’s better than a steaming bowl of soup during a day of exploring the city? A healthy salad is also budget-friendly and gives you energy for the rest of the day. If you love a good helping of comfort food, just try a typical Ghent dish or simply a delicious burger or bagel. Enjoy!
