What a treat to be in a city that feels really human, truly authentic. Ghent is a charmer; there's no doubt about that. Quaint but relaxed, this Flemish city is one of our favourites for a day trip or a weekend getaway.
Where better to grab a cup of coffee than in the first coffee bar in Ghent? Mokabon roasts their beans fresh every week since 1937. This cozy interior is usually full with coffee lovers, a safe haven from the always-changing, rapid everyday world. Read a newspaper or have chat and enjoy your cup, always with a side of fluffy whipped cream.
Heaven for pastry lovers and chocolate enthusiasts. This top-tier bakery is an elite option for those who like fresh artisanal sourdough for breakfast in bed. However, it is even better for those who love to waltz around town and sit on a sunny terrace to enjoy a cinnamon roll and a warm latte.
