    Decent Restaurant. Food was delicious and atmosphere is wonderful! But some types of dishes taste not so great. Not a cuisine, but food is still good.

    Came here for lunch on a Monday, and boy, was I glad I had a reservation. The place filled up so quickly within 20 minutes that it felt like a weekend. I ordered the soup with dumplings which turned out to be a splendid choice. The dumplings has lots of flavor and the soup was warm and tasty.

    Great veg/vegan food. Davai soup with dumplings, salad boon and pumpkin soup with sour bread was a hit. As was the vegan choc mousse. Family friendly venue with a friendly host (Sara) and excellent service!

    Lovely fresh ingredients with great vegetarian options most of which could also be made vegan. The staff were very friendly and accommodating; fluent in English, French and Dutch. Nice atmosphere and family friendly. We didn’t make a reservation but probably worth doing if you know you’re going in advance as it was busy when we went!

    The food was SO GOOD, as well as clean and healthy. The Chile sin carne was a table favorite. The restaurant staff was lovely and recommended an excellent IPA we wouldn’t have otherwise tried. Also an interesting space - loved the very old painted doors. Lots of room to talk as the space was open and comfortable.

    I loved the fresh baked pancakes (you could choose the vegan option) with fresh fruits. Check their dessert options at the counter. Next time I'd come back for the lunch. It looks like they have plenty options for vegetarian/vegan. Friendly staffs.

    Always a pleasure to go there thanks to the happy service of the owner! Nice home made desserts, the rhubarbtart was delicious, not to sweet and a good selection of tea. It’s very relaxing to sit in the garden at the back.

  • 3/5 robert p. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Cozy location, tasty and healthy lunch. A big negative, the service. Dessert was served without first clearing the table, our empty lunch plates were simply pushed aside rather than cleared first. In order to still be able to enjoy the dessert, we ourselves deposited the plates on an empty table. Incredibly sorry! (Original) Gezellige locatie, lekker en gezond geluncht. Een groot minpunt, de bediening. Het dessert werd geserveerd zonder eerst de tafel te ontruimen, onze lege borden vd lunch werden gewoon een beetje opzij geschoven ipv eerst af te ruimen. Om dan toch nog te kunnen genieten vh nagerecht hebben we zelf de borden op een leegstaande tafel gedeponeerd. Ongelooflijk spijtig!

  • 5/5 Barbara K. 10 months ago on Google
    My favourite vegetarian lunch spot in Ghent. The bubbly owner Sara makes you feel like you've been going there for years, even though it's only been a handful of times. What a spot, what a vibe! Their Davai clear meal soup with dumplings is my go to meal, in winter and in summer. The dumplings are to die for, flavoursome and still with a bite. The filling is deliciously homemade with ginger, edamame, garlic, and gochugaru pepper. It's a full meal coz the hearty clear broth comes with a hard-boiled egg, soy sprouts, spring onions, Chinese cabbage, sesame seeds and Judas ear 🍄 A touch of healthy asia in a bowl! Many great drinks options, cold and warm. Kefir, kombucha, golden latte etc.

    Actually the restaurant was fully booked, so make sure to reserve your spot. But we were lucky and could sit outside in the sun. This was by far the best homemade vegan meals we ever had. The stew was just fantastic. Also the desert was mindblowing. Thanks so much to the Chef.

    We had lunch here after a visit to the castle. The Thai red curry was delicious and wholesome! We had the “small” portion which was honestly plenty for even a very hungry person, and the raspberry lemonade was delicious. Highly recommend for a wholesome, delicious meal with great service

    Great bright place, nice lunch salads, soup of the day and an assortment of drinks, with or without alcohol. Of course as it is supposed to be in Ghent, there is a good vegan offering as well. Reception and service was warm and friendly. Beautifully renovated interior, combined with thoughtful new additions. Breakfast is served on weekend-days only, I have not had the ability to try that out, but will try it out for sure. Pay by digital means (Cards, Payconiq by Bancontact,...)

    Just loved this place. One of the best soups (with dumplings) I've ever had. As my daughters say, if it's veggie it has to good, and it usually is. I doubt you'll be disappointed.

  • 4/5 Muchtoobizy 5 years ago on Google
    A great place for a fresh, healthy salad, with soup or quiche. The menu is small and simple, but that permits the food to be kept super fresh and quite imaginative in its own simple way. The restaurant itself is in the historic centre of Ghent. Its a single large room with a high ceiling, so it lacks a bit of warmth and cosiness. You order at the counter and the food is brought to your table promptly. There is also a small outdoor courtyard for warm days. You will leave feeling that you gave your body a healthy treat. Prices are correct. Highly recommended.

    Amazing little place with friendly staff. Secret garden at the back where you can enjoy a perfect cuppachino. The owner gave us great tips on where to go in Gent. They recently opened a B&B called Bed and Boon. This is a must visit. Thanks, we loved it.

    (Translated by Google) We had breakfast here yesterday morning. Was very tasty and all fresh, certainly enough. Only the price was a bit on the expensive side. And the place was a bit tight for everything we got together, possibly spreading a bit more so that everything doesn't come together on the table? (Original) We hebben hier ontbijt gegeten gisteren morgen. Was heel lekker en allemaal vers, zeker genoeg. Vond enkel de prijs wat aan de dure kant.

    Although I'm not very acquainted to vegetarianism, I was with a friend who's one, and I was curious to try it out. The cesar salad was surprisingly satisfying; no feeling like I'm missing some nice ingredients (meat) :P. After the meal I fest full, and the taste was also pretty nice. The small salad (only 12 Euro) was just enough; so I'm a satisfying man. 4 stars because 5 stars is reserved to places I really love a lot (I believe people give 5 stars too easily). :P

  • 5/5 Elisa De C. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a very lovely dinner at boon. The soup was creamy, the bread had the perfect crumb and such a nice crust, the salad was well balanced and the dessert was a very generous portion. The cocktail was great to. And all of this brought with a smile... will come again

    Regular tuesday stroll with my sister through Ghent. We passed the Gravensteen castle and right across from it is this place! Decided to be hip and take a vegan lunch and it was delicious. Both ate a salad with dumplings and a bowl of soup and some homemade lemonade.
