Small restaurant on the outskirts of the city serving refined hors d'oeuvres to be shared. They also have a great selection of natural wines. Top place!

Edelrot is a small, intimate and mobile wine bar with a great selection of natural wines.

Jiggers in Ghent, Belgium is a quirky artist bar that creates a sense of secretiveness and curious ambiance.

This is my absolute favourite restaurant in town. But then again I have to correct myself; it's not merely a restaurant. It is a pizzeria, a bakery, a brunch place, coffee bar and a fine-dining restaurant all in one. It is casually cozy while it offers great food. Set around a magnificent wood oven this restaurant by star chef Kobe Desramaults is truly a gem! 

Best art book shop in town with a great selection! It is run by graphic designer Jurgen Maelfeyt and has a little gallery where there have interesting shows.
