Ramen oudburg
Lunch
Nothing beats a pot of steaming noodles. The noodle bar Ramen is a very tiny place, but the quality is huge. Not only the bowl of noodles fills your heart with joy, the very warm welcome of the owners does too.
Soup’r
Lunch
A very crowded soup bar, but it’s so delicious and worth the wait. A lot of business people, shop owners, local politicians, … pass by to buy their favorite soup for lunch. During the season, don't miss the asparagus soup with small pieces of egg.
Steamy Windows
Lunch
Enjoy a light lunch at this dumpling bar near the shopping area of Ghent. Our personal favorite is the dumpling with beef and Schacha sauce.
Boris & Maurice
Lunch
Not within walking distance but worth a bike ride or car ride up there. A young team, with lots of experience, makes sure you have a refreshing French cuisine dining experience. On the terrace in the back you can flee the busy street.
Edgar kaasbar
Diner
Do you like cheese. Yes? We do too. A lot! You are very welcome at our cheese bar, just around the corner. During winter time we warm you with some raclette, cheese fondue or cheese platters. In summertime we have a nice green terrace in the back where you can escape the buzzing city and have a little wine with some cheese tappas.
Aperto Chiuso
Diner
Somewhere hidden between the Turkish pizza restaurants (no bad word about them, they are good) in the Sleepstraat you’ll find a lovely Italian restaurant. It’s that kind of place where you feel at ease every season. A warm and cosy interior for winter diners and a patio that make you feel like your at the Mediterranean Sea for hot summer evenings. Whether we’re talking about the aperitivo, antipasti, main dishes or desserts, it’s all lovely.
Amigo
Diner
Bar – resto – disco. Amigo is one of those places who has it all. But don’t let me be misunderstood, they serve quality. The cocktails are nicely finished, the dishes are gastronomical and the parties in the basement make you stay until dawn. Perfect place to start your weekend.
Alberte
Diner
Not just another restaurant. Their bold choice to open a restaurant at the Dampoort area reflects in the combinations they serve. The dishes made with local, seasonal products may be courageous or unexpecting, they are fresh, subtle and always gastronomical. All those good things are sides by a fine selection of wines. Personal favorite.
Publiek
Diner
You’re not lost, you’re here. Olly Ceulenaere has put Publiek(*) in Ghent on the map without typical luxury ingredients. Through an unsophisticated atmosphere and surprising vegetable dishes, he makes every effort to make his guests forget their worries. Enjoy this Michelin starred restaurant and end the night with a romantic stroll along water of marina Portus Ganda to Edgar Guesthouse.
Golden gai
Diner
Go for a hot bowl of noodles in de Dampoortstraat. This restaurant is not too expensive unless you fall for their exuberant cocktails. They are soooo good. Great atmosphere, great staff, great comfort food.
Mortier
Diner
Mortier is a restaurant and cosy bar in Ghent's Dampoortstraat. Owned and staffed by some very kind and warm-hearted people, it’s difficult to find a place where you feel more welcome. Chef Thomas Mortier's fresh cuisine is inspired by Italian traditions. A love for freshly made pasta, risotto prepared à la minute, and the flavors of the season. Just as Italian cuisine is originally very region-specific, Mortier works with the finest local ingredients.
