Ghent truly is a city for foodies. While you'll find dishes from all over the world, maybe a Ghent chicken casserole is just what you're looking for. But did you know that Ghent has proportionally more vegan and veggie places to eat than many other major cities? Whether you eat flexi, veggie or vegan, no-one will go home hungry from here. Discover Ghent's animal-friendly offerings for yourself!
Did you know that it was the city of Ghent that came up with the concept of ‘Thursday Veggie Day’? One of the achievements of this initiative is that a meat-free dish now appears on the menu in Ghent's schools every Thursday. So in Ghent, you'll have no trouble finding a tasty vegan or veggie dish – whether it's an option on the menu or whether you choose to eat in a fully vegan or veggie restaurant. Vegan fries? Yes, of course! A Veggie restaurant with a star-rating? Sure. The variety of places to eat is not only perfect for all those who never eat meat and/or animal products, but also, more importantly, for those who most of all really like to eat delicious food.
Vegan hotspots
Many establishments in Ghent don't put animal products on the menu at all. Why not go for a vegan latte macchiato with a pastry, for example? Or enjoy a three-course meal packed with vegetables, in which animal products have been used. Your taste buds won't know what hit them.
Veggie hotspots
Just about every restaurant in Ghent has several delicious vegetarian options on the menu. So as a vegetarian in Ghent, you won't have to eat a cheese croquette every evening if you don't want to. You can also enjoy veggie fried snacks, treat yourself to veggie fast food on the go or enjoy a sumptuous dinner without meat. From basic to stellar, veggie food in Ghent is deliciously ordinary and simply highly delicious.
