De Superette is run by Flemish foodie Kobe Desramaults, one of Belgium’s best chefs. On the menu, you’ll find hearty Flemish brunch and pizza. The centerpiece is most definitely its open bakery. Must eat: the yummy artisanal sordough bread!

Bar Jan Cremer is a typical hangout for students when it’s sunny outside. I have to say, they have one of the best terraces for sunbathing in Ghent, including beach chairs and free peanuts. Plus, the bagels are really good here!

Sightseeing

The most photographed place of Ghent is definitely the Graslei, and it’s really worth the visit. It’s the best known hang-out of locals when it’s sunny outside. Enjoy the sun along the water at the Graslei with a glass of wine in Summer (or some hot cocoa in Winter).

The Abdijtuin is the garden of the Saint-Peters Abbey. It’s a green oasis in the middle of the university area, where you can enjoy a picknick amidst the wine ranks. Romantic! In the old abbey, there are exhibitions all year round.

Parks & Nature

One of my favorite go-to places to relax and read a book is Portus Ganda, the place where Ghent originated at the confluence of the two rivers Leie & Schelde in the 9th century. Walk around at the magical Lousbergkaai, or go swimming at the art deco Van Eyck swimming pool.

De Smet De Naeyerpark and the surrounding neighbourhood called ‘Miljoenenkwartier’ or Million’s quarter is where every art deco lover’s heart starts pounding. Several local architects created distinctive villas for Ghent’s elite, in the 1920s on the site of the 1913 World Fair.
