The Herbert Foundation is a private collection for contemporary art with a focus on conceptual art from the collection of Annick and Anton Herbert. It houses works by an impressive list of artists such as Marcel Broodthaers, Bruce Nauman, Dan Graham, Mike Kelley, Franz West, Thomas Schütte en Martin Kippenberger.

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! 

Hands down for the best burger joint in town. They also serve some great cocktails. The proof is in the pudding, so go over and grab a bite!

019 is an artist-run exhibition, concert and work space occupying a former welding factory in Ghent. The project is initiated and run by Smoke & Dust together with many others. 019 operates as a collective too by the installation of projects in the city of Ghent. Keep an eye on their website for the latest projects! 

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!
