Great place - Edit
Had the ‘Gentse stoof’ and some of the cheese croquettes that were too much for my kids. Both tasted really good. Prices are high though, especially for the ‘restaurant in store’ setting.

very cute spot with an organic supermarket - Edit
roomy restaurant with an adjacent supermarket - all very lofty and a great atmosphere.
Read moresweets were tasty and you can get a big glass of tap water for 1€, which is a great money safer!
order through a QR code at the table, pay at the bar by the entrance, so very independent.

Restaurant with deli adjacent - Edit
The lasagna was delicious. And in the deli they have it so you can eat more great lasagna at home. If you can, have a seat in the back under a sort of dome. The people are really nice.

Nice restaurant - Edit
Nice restaurant with organic vegan Market on site, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. The menu could improve, they serve french fries with two of their mains which I would not expect in a place like this.. They could make an effort to serve freshly made potato wedges otherwise I would have rather have boiled potatoes!

Delicious! - Edit
Really nice atmosphere with delicious food! The breakfast menu was good, but the dinner menu was exceptional and though on the pricier side, great value for money. The store also stocks some incredible vegan snacks and frozen meals. A big highlight was the beautiful menu crafted into a magazine-style book.

Knol & Kool is a must-visit - Edit
We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Knol & Kool in Ghent. Every single dish we tried was outstanding — fresh, flavorful, and fully vegan. The quality of the food truly exceeded our expectations.
Read moreThe staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere from the moment we arrived. We originally stopped by for dinner, but we were so impressed that we returned the next morning for breakfast and a small grocery shopping trip in the attached store. Everything there was just as fresh and delicious as the meals we enjoyed.
Knol & Kool is a must-visit for anyone looking for excellent vegan food in Ghent. Highly recommended!

Prima eten, beetje duur - Edit
We hadden de Scrambled Tofu en Bahn Mi besteld. Flinke porties. Personeel wat disconnected, maar niet onvriendelijk. Buiten gezeten, prima plekje. Prima gegeten, maar niet bijzonder.

Tasty food and nice shop! - Edit
The shop is really nice! A very good selection of vegan food products with some hard-to-find items. In the bistro the service was very welcoming and friendly! The menu options are classic but varied. We had some delicious and well seasoned appetizers. The lasagna was very tasty! The seitan steak as well, though a little dry. Had some pastries to take home and these were delicious! Would definitely come back and try some more food from their menu!

Hugely recommended - Edit
Happy Cow pointed me to this place and looking in the window was a bit confused because it looks like a grocery store on the side I looked in but I had one of the best sandwiches I've had in my life. Had a great latte, a really good cinnamon roll, and bought some tasty chocolate from the grocery. Staff was nice. Want to come back to Belgium from the USA for that sandwich.

Tasty food, terrible ordering - Edit
Food is tasty and menu is varied. Portions are a bit small for the price. The QR code menu is terrible, search doesn’t work, things are barely sorted and lots of things don’t match the paper menu.
