Soup Lounge ★ 3.8
Soup Lounge is a counter-service lunch spot where a bowl of daily-changing fresh soup, a bread roll and an apple costs under €9. Located in Binnenstad.
Order: Soup of the day plus bread roll: the combination is filling, seasonal and under budget.
Tip: Arrives before 13:00 to get the full daily soup choice; a second or third type runs out first.
Frites Atelier ★ 4.5
Sergio Herman's upmarket frites counter at the Groentenmarkt has marble counters and stainless sauces pumped from brass-spigot barrels. The frites are fried.
Order: Classic frites with andalouse sauce: the house sauce is tangier than most and justifies the queue.
Tip: Expect a queue at lunch; the Groentenmarkt location is the busiest. The frites cool fast so eat immediately.
Frituur Bij Sint-Jacobs ★ 4.2
The Sint-Jacobs friturkot has stood on the Friday Market square for generations: double-fried frites and the city's Gentse beef stew sauce served.
Order: Frites with stoverij sauce: the Gentse beef stew sauce on twice-fried frites is the dish locals defend as the city's defining street snack.
Tip: Friday morning during the antique market the queue is longest but the frites are freshest. Cash still moves the line faster than card.
De Echte Gentse Neuzen ★ 4.3
The competing cuberdon stalls at the Groentenmarkt are one of Ghent's most famous food rivalries. De Echte Gentse Neuzen sells the authentic cone-shaped.
Order: Classic raspberry cuberdons: eat them within minutes of buying to get the right texture contrast.
Tip: Buy a small bag and eat them standing at the stall; they are best at market temperature, not carried around in a bag.
Tierenteyn-Verlent ★ 4.5
Tierenteyn-Verlent has ladled its grainy Dijon-style mustard from barrels at the same Groentenmarkt address since 1790. Booking recommended.
Order: A 250g pot of the classic mustard: buy it to take home, or ask for a tasting spoon at the counter.
Tip: The shop is open Monday from 13:00 and Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00; closed Sundays. The old barrels behind the counter are original.
De Frietketel ★ 4.0
De Frietketel on Papegaaistraat is a fully plant-based frituur and Belgian Vegan Awards Best Fast Food winner, with vegan frites, sauces and snacks.
Order: Frites with vegan curry sauce: the most-ordered combination at this plant-based frituur.
Tip: Good option for mixed groups; the fried snacks are convincing even to non-vegans, and prices are on par with standard frituurs.
