We made the mistake of ordering two small bowls of soup and a sandwich for two of us to share. The sandwich was completely unnecessary, and we could not finish all the food. You order at the counter, and the Service was pleasant. This was a very quick and easy meal that allowed us to spend more time exploring the city. Highly recommend.

Indoor and outdoor seating with umbrellas for sunny or wet days. It's small, indoors there's maybe seating for 10-12. Outdoors has 8 small tables. I had the #1, which is smoked ham, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, olive oil, and rocket. It was one of the best ham and cheese sandwiches I've ever had. There were other things on it too that looked like a thinly sliced cucumber and another type of dressing. Highly recommended for a quick, good, inexpensive meal. Staff was friendly.

Each day there are 4 soups (of which at least two are vegetarian),served in the size bowl of your choosing with optional additions of bitterballen (little meatballs), diced vegetables, herbs and cheese. Medium size bowls of soup come with two small rolls and butter, plus an apple. There are other options of sandwiches and salads, plus a variety of drinks. Great on a cold, rainy Ghent day to insulate you from the weather. Highly recommended and a great bargain.

You can also add some toppings free of charge; they are parsley, cheese, crouton, and chicken meatball. Service is speedy and there's a decent number of seats on 2 floors.

Food is quite delicious coming from the south of France. Any apéritif is very exquisite. But I must say I expected a bit more. Service is professional and very helpful.

Their latte is the best I've had so far and their croissants were so fresh. My husband had a cold that morning and he tried their hot alcohol drink which worked like a remedy for him. It is conveniently located only a few blocks away from the St. Bavo's cathedral. I would definitely go back if I visit Gent again.

They bring over your menu (they have English ones) and once you have chosen you go to the counter and order. The menu consists of teas, coffees, juices and sandwiches, soup & cakes. We opted for one mozzarella and pesto sandwich with a salad (5 euros extra) and one without, a hot chocolate and then a pineapple, lychee and ginger juice which was amazing & very refreshing! The hot chocolate was also lovely - rich, chocolatey and filling. The service is friendly and food is served at reasonable speed. To be fair the salad was big but I do think the addition of salad actually makes the place a little on the expensive side. Without this the sandwiches were good value. They were tasty and made with good quality bread and filled with plenty of mozzarella & pesto. The cakes looked amazing but we didn't have room!

Belgian fries are probably the best fries in the world, and this place is worthy of a stop or two…read more The medium fry (I don't think I ever ate a large one) with a side of sauce is enough for a lunch or dinner option (and a great option for vacationing vegans if you opt for ketchup). There are other items to eat here, like the Bicky Burger (which is made with horse meat as one ingredient, look it up. I didn't try it, but I might if I go back), and other meats, but a fry is all I need. There are like 12 sauces to choose from, and no descriptions. Here is what I know: Ketchup is your basic tomato-based option. Mayo is mayonnaise, and you won't be disappointed, but these are base. If you like mayo, you might as well get the Andalouse, which is just mayo with pureed tomato paste, red onion, red and green pepper and a drop or 2 of lemon juice. They manufacture this and sell it. It's an orange, flavorful mayo. For those who like a kick, get the Samurai sauce - from what I can tell, it's Andalouse with a spicy kick. DELICIOUS. Curry ketchup is okay, and it's curry-flavored ketchup. That's all I got for you. They speak English, they are friendly and quick. Get a Coke or a Fanta or a Jupiler beer and enjoy my good friends, enjoy!
