Best vegan restaurant in Gent. It's also combined with a small grocery store. ALL food items are vegan. What's really great about the cusine is that you do not feel you have compromised taste, texture, or fullness. Our family absolutely loves eating here. The business is run by a family who is warm and welcoming. The space is beautiful open, airy, and sunny. Location is convenient for tourists. The restrooms and toliets are family-friendly. If I could think of one aspect that we don't like it would be that too many dogs frequent it which is difficult for people who are allergic.

A bit pricey but the food is good and it’s a very quiet atmosphere. You have to order online so there’s no actual service.
