Desayuno — Restaurant in Ghent

What a lovely cafe! My wife, dog, and I arrived in Ghent to a very cold and windy day and were lucky to find this place to take a break from the weather. The staff were kind, and despite the fact that our dog was feeling grumpy and decided to bark at them (what a rude and ungrateful boy!) they were extremely understanding and friendly.

Jaden of course loved the ladies all the more for the personal attention he got and didn’t want to leave. Our food was delicious too. Thank you for the lovely start to the day and we will...

Finding nice breakfast/brunch spots in Ghent has been a hassle but this spot was really cute and had quite a few different things for one to try.

I got the Chilaquiles Roja. This is a Mexican breakfast of fried tortillas with spicy tomato sauce, sour cream, queso fresco, red onion, coriander. I also got this with a fried egg on top.
