Order: Vegan bowl of the day: grain, roasted veg, legume and herb sauce, filling and under €12.
Tip: Busiest between 12:00 and 13:30; go just after 11:30 or after 14:00 for a quieter seat.
Lokaal ★ 4.3
Lokaal built its reputation on a menu that is 80 per cent vegetarian but never feels restricted. The daily changing board of seasonal Belgian small plates.
Order: Seasonal small plates board: three or four dishes from the list, chosen to share, changes weekly.
Tip: One of the few kitchens in Ghent with a serious gluten-free breakfast; check the board when you arrive.
Karoot ★ 3.9
Karoot keeps a short seasonal menu of Belgian farm-to-table dishes in a low-key neighbourhood room. The lunch formula is a two-course set with soup and main.
Order: Soup of the day: always made from what the kitchen has just unpacked from the weekly farm delivery.
Tip: One of the better lunch bargains in the city centre; the two-course format runs until 14:00.
Soul Kitchen ★ 4.4
Soul Kitchen is the standard-bearer for vegan fine-casual cooking in Ghent, running a changing tasting menu entirely from plants. The kitchen treats root.
Order: Four-course plant tasting menu: the most complete argument for serious vegan cooking in the city.
Tip: Book two weeks ahead for a weekend table; this is Ghent's best vegan kitchen and demand is consistent.
Pakhuis ★ 4.2
Pakhuis fills a converted 19th-century warehouse behind a central alley. The cavernous glass-roofed interior keeps a menu of daily-fresh oysters, moules.
Order: Moules frites: the mussels arrive in a deep cast-iron pot and the frites alongside are fried to order.
Tip: Book ahead for weekend dinner; the warehouse vibe is worth it for a big-group celebration.
Amadeus Gent 2 ★ 4.0
Amadeus is Ghent's most committed rib restaurant, piling all-you-can-eat spareribs onto wooden boards for tables that stretch across its belfry-square.
Order: All-you-can-eat spareribs with the house sauce: the price is fixed, the refills are real.
Tip: Book for Sunday lunch; the all-you-can-eat format fills the room and walk-ins are turned away most evenings.
