• Lovely vegetarian (but mostly vegan) spot

Went here with two friends and was pleasantly surprised by this fairly recent addition to the vegetarian scene in Ghent. All ingredients are locally produced, before they're creatively turned into a selection of different dishes. It speaks for Lokaal, I think, such vastly different dishes are created with the same selection of ingredients - a quiche, soup, salad, gratin,... The (vegan!) cocoa-apple cake was delicious, too. The atmosphere of the place is lovely, with plants and original light bulbs hanging from the ceiling, and music from a record player next to the kitchen. I noticed they take reservations, which might come in useful as there aren't too many tables. The owner was very friendly and accommodating, too. When my friend mentioned she is allergic to nuts, he was happy to cater to her and made sure her dish did not come into contact with any nuts whatsoever. Portion sizes were fairly small but very decently priced. I'd say it's the perfect place for a healthy, delicious and ethical lunch. I'll definitely come back to try some of their tea!
