One of the last classic cafés in Gent. Check it out. The owner loves to tell the history of the bar and building and more.

A classic Gentse local, known for its peasant version of caviare 'Kroakemandels' (deep fried dried peas) served as bar snack...try them! 😀 The accent is very Gentse...the welcome warm. Authentic Gent!

What a gem of a place. Owned and run by a great man. Warm and welcoming. So original and nostalgic

This is a very old bar that is still run by the wonderful couple who started it. It has a very warm feel and nice ambience to it. Highly recommended.

The onliest place where you can get krokemandels

This bar is definitely a must if you're visiting the city, local vibes and the people that run the bar are very kind and fun

Traditional old-school pub with very kind owners, great snacks and decently priced beers.

Delightful pub with a fun retro vibe, friendly owners and patrons and great beer selection.

Old time bar, really nice inside with great beers. Owner very friendly.

Absolute lovely cafe ran by the most adorable older couple that will have you laughing the entire time. Honestly the warmest hospitality I’ve ever encountered!

Lovely cafe, typical Ghent

Best local bar, best owner, best snack

This is a place to visit! Is it especially beautiful? - No! Is it very stylish? - No! Is a place to see and to be seen? Definitely not the later! Cafe Folklore is potentially the last independent Volkscafe in Gent. You can get Jupiler and Stella from the tab. The owners are a lovely couple that have been in the trade for ages. The interior is unique and real. And when you are lucky they are just serving kroakemandels as a snack with your beer - a true and rate specialty from Gent. Sadly - these kind of places hardly exist anymore and will be gone in a couple of years. So enjoy it while it lasts and definitely pay Cafe Folklore a visit. P.s.: One day I visited together with my 6 year old son - Marina - the owner - just had her lunch - she shared her fries with my son! That‘s nothing you will ever experience in any vegan hipster instragram coffee joint!

The best authentic bar you'll find in Ghent

A very nice stop, friendly service

Local bar with good atmosphere and all the beers.

Fantastic cosy authentic town bar with friendly barman. Nice old area of the town.

Great little bar tucked away from the hustle and bustle. Reasonable range of beers and friendly staff.
