An excellent cafe in Ghent--I enjoyed an excellent quiche with a very nice salad. The service was kind, and the decor is cute and stylish,

Best hang-over coffees ever! Yet by times a bit crowdy and arty-farty atmosphere..

Soup´r - Thai basil curry

Soup´r

(11 reviews)

I love this place. Every soup I have had has been really good. I've gotten the oriental chicken…read morenoodle soup, the Thai curry, and the butternut squash. Feels like good quality. It comes with bread as well. Always pretty busy in there from open to close but staff are friendly. Cute ambiance inside with lots of different seating options. They also have sandwiches as well!

On a cold winter day, people truly do crave warm soup. So it's no wonder this soup shop does so…read morewell. They really have such warm delicious soup options with nice simple sandwiches to pair with it, so it's a hit among many locals. The staff are very efficient at what they do. So the line may be long, but it goes fairly quickly. They do typically have a dutch menu to start, but you can easily ask for an English menu. They are very accommodating. My friend and I decided to eat in. For eating in, you order first and then you tell them where you will sit and they bring the food to your table when its ready. I personally really love a good tomato-y soup and saw Bolognaise was very popular, so it was an easy decision for me. Truly the Bolognaise hit the spot for me. It's tomato based, but filled with so many veggies inside. You can also choose as much toppings as you want. Overall, it's very hearty and wholesome. I had a medium and I could have honestly eaten more... It was that warm/delicious. The sandwiches are very simple. It's made with simple standard ingredients, but the soup and sandwich combo really makes you feel full and satisfied. It makes for a good/decently priced lunch option.

Frituur Frans Hooiaard - Fries with bearnaise

Frituur Frans Hooiaard

(7 reviews)

This place is excellent for a quick snack after a bunch of delicious belgian beers. The main thing…read morehere is fries served in cones (3 sizes availible) but they also have other fried foods and sandwiches. A large fries cone is 2.80 € and you want to add another 0.70 € for one of the many sauce options. I had bearnaise and both the fries and sauce where very tasty and made a great combo. A large fries here is enough for a midday lunch. Quick service and popular among locals this is a great find just after korenmarkt.

Our first stop in Belgium was, naturally, for fried food. Hooiaard was still open when we arrived…read morelate last Friday, and we were able to get our fill of cheese krokets and sauce andalouse before indulging in beer. It's less of a friet cart and more of a friet-hole-in-the-wall: a well-established one with a standing plastic fry mascot and a giant waffle (though I didn't actually notice that they served waffles...) We put in our order for cheese krokets, house fries (topped with cheese and jalapenos, with thin and heavily-fried bacon strips on the side), frikandels (our friend hadn't tried them before), and a cone of fries with sauce. Then we sat on the tiny table under the--very effective--heating lamps to keep warm while waiting. I had been tempted to try a mitraillette, but was surprised not to see it on the menu. Oh well. I filled up on the cheesy fries and krokets. I wouldn't order those cheesy fries again, though. The best thing about them was the sliced peppers on top, though there weren't very many. I found the cheese a bit bland compared to my usual andalouse sauce, and ended up skirting the cheesy top to dip my fries in my friend's sauce. The cheese krokets were excellent. I usually prefer the rectangular ones that look more like a pillow than a pre-made hash brown because they have that extra crispiness, but the flavor in these oval ones was as expected. Tummy satisfied and wallets still fairly full, we moved on to the next stop: a neighborhood bar for beer.
