Le Baan Thai has anchored Thai cooking in the Patershol since 1988 and earned the 2026 Michelin Bib Gourmand for a short menu run. Priced at €€.

Et Alors near the Graslei brings Parisian bistro energy to Ghent: animated room, seasonal French-Belgian food and a weekend brunch worth booking.

Modest ★ 4.0

binnenstad · Brabantdam 50, 9000 Gent

Hours: Mon-Fri 09:00-22:00; Sat-Sun 09:00-16:30

Hours: Tue-Sat 11:30-22:00; Sun 11:30-16:00; Mon closed

Lekker Gec has been serving organic vegetarian cooking in central Ghent long enough to qualify as an institution. The daily plates track the season.

Greenway on Nederkouter is one of Ghent's original vegan pioneers, serving a rotating menu of plant-based wraps, bowls and hot plates in a fast-casual format.
