They’re all carefully baked at an organic bakery. The lunchtime menu includes soup, sandwiches, focaccia and toasted sandwiches. In the afternoon, you can enjoy a slice of homemade cake with coffee, tea or organic lemonade. Take a seat at the long tables and admire the hustle and bustle of Ghent’s Zuid neighbourhood. A few years ago “Barista Zuivelbrug” opened its doors, right in the city centre, near the bridge between Langemunt and Oudburg.

You can have breakfast there in the morning, and for lunch you can choose from salads, rolls, toasted sandwiches, soup and quiches. In the afternoon, Belle Histoire offers a wide range of homemade pancakes, fresh cakes and pastries, waffles, ice cream and milkshakes.

Mokabon

Mokabon

Nowadays coffee bars are everywhere but this is first coffee bar in Ghent. It is right in the city centre and has been serving excellent coffee since the very beginning, which can also be purchased and is always topped with a dollop of fresh whipped cream. Sometimes it’s difficult to find a table in this small bar, but it has become custom to join other coffee lovers at their tables. Cosiness at its best!
