Ghent


Good veggie food set to classical music and served on linen at tables with fresh orchids. Three windows have canal views. The daily changing lunch plate presents a truly artistic range of flavours, organic beers are available and there’s a short wine list. By day enter through an organic food shop; at night seek out the side entrance passage.
