4 vegetarian restaurants worth the trip across Belgium, editor-ranked. All cuisines in Belgium.
BOON ★ 4.2 · Ghent
groentenmarkt · Geldmunt 6, 9000 Gent
BOON sits at the castle end of Burgstraat and serves a vegetarian lunch and early dinner menu in a room that feels like a design studio. Priced at €€.
Tip: Lunch only on weekdays; closes in the early evening. Popular with museum-goers from the Gravensteen.
Lokaal ★ 4.0 · Ghent
binnenstad · Brabantdam 100, 9000 Gent
Lokaal is a vegetarian tea room and restaurant on Brabantdam with owners Arno, Jelmer and Bliki sourcing from nearby organic farms and rotating the menu.
Tip: The tea selection here is serious; combine the lunch with an afternoon spent in the nearby SMAK museum.
Lekker Gec ★ 3.9 · Ghent
sint-pieters · Koningin Maria Hendrikaplein 6, 9000 Gent
Lekker Gec has been serving organic vegetarian cooking in central Ghent long enough to qualify as an institution. The daily plates track the season without.
Tip: Arrive by noon or the most interesting daily specials go quickly; the kitchen does not replenish to order.
BOON ★ 3.9 · Ghent
groentenmarkt · Geldmunt 6, 9000 Gent
BOON is a vegetarian lunch bar across the street from the Castle of the Counts with a bean-forward menu that takes vegetable cooking seriously. The casual.
Tip: Grab a terrace table facing the castle if available; the view repays a slightly longer lunch.
