Decent food, but at what cost? - Edit
Payment is by weight and the price for a fairly basic buffet lunch turned out to be very high.

Overall decent food - Edit
I’ve been here many times, and overall the food is quite nice, although I wasn’t a huge fan the first times but it’s improved since then. I always get food from the buffet, it’s nice that it changes often.

Good pie and coffee - Edit
We only went here for pie and a coffee, but it was good! There were three 'cakes of the day' which were banana - coconut, brownie and a cherry cake. The latte was good and they also have a large variation in cold drinks.

Lekker 😉 - Edit
Eenvoudig en mooi ingericht. Veel variatie in gerechtjes. We kozen voor de formule waarbij het bord gewogen wordt. Ik gebruikte de helft van mijn bord voor sla en rauwe groentjes met de lekkere dressing en de pittenmengeling als topping. De andere helft voor de lasagne met paddenstoelen en tofu (op zich al 5 sterren waard) en de pakora van rode biet (5 sterren is te weinig!). Mijn dochter proefde ook de chili sin carne en vond deze nog lekkerder dan de lasagne. Het was aangenaam weer dus konden gezellig buiten eten en we hebben het dessert meegenomen voor achteraf.
Read moreIk hoor dat het bij momenten druk kan zijn maar wij waren er op dinsdag rond 13u en konden gelijk ons bordje vullen.

Great place, bunch of options - Edit
Always something different. You pay for what you get and the prices are good. The food is usually great, and you choose what you take and how much. There's a lot of seating with a cozy/clean interior and a nice terrace.

Very nice, little confusing for the first time - Edit
I love a good vegan buffet. It's so nice to be able to eat everything. To have choice 💚.
Read moreWe both took the plate with the golden edge, so we made a lovely evening of it. Very nice date. As a dessert we took the 2 pies that where available.
It's just a bit sad that it's not mentioned that you need to order inside that means that one goes to the buffet (long wait) and the other one has to stay outside. Next time we would use a different approach.
Nobody came to clear the glasses and cups of the people before us. So they stood the whole time on our table.
Pros: All vegan , Cheap, Nice dessert and drinks
Cons: Confusing... , Nobody cleared the table

Tasty, simple cooked meals - Edit
Very tasty cooked meals and stews if you’re tired of frituurs. A plate full of food ended out about 12.50 EUR for me, so the prices are also good depending on how much you put on your plate.

Not really our favourite restaurant - Edit
This is a typical "healthy buffet, pay by weight" kind of place and these are usually a hit and miss for us. Unfortunately, this one was more of a miss. The food was very, very bland and some of it too greasy. I couldn't finish my meal because I simply did not like it. However, this might just be our personal taste or maybe it was just a bad day - there are so many good reviews for this place.
Read moreApart from that, the atmosphere was ok and staff were friendly. The location is quite good as well, it was close to our hotel and there are some nice shops around, which is why we chose this restaurant initially.
Pros: Good location, Good sized buffet
Cons: We did not like the food

We hebben er een pasta gegeten. De saus was niet slecht maar de kinderporties waren echt heel klein voor een dure prijs. Ik heb al veel betere vegan restaurants gehad.

Gezellig en lekker - Edit
Leuk ingericht restaurant. Gezellige sfeer. Ik heb het buffet gekozen. Alle gerechtjes waren veganistisch, dus ik heb met een gerust hart mijn bordje goed kunnen volscheppen 😊 Nadien wordt het gewogen, dus je betaald (een zeer democratische prijs) per gewicht. Het was heel lekker, zowel koud als warm buffet.
Read morePros: Heel vriendelijk personeel, Groot terras, Betaald per gewicht

Nice concept, good food, work in process - Edit
Lekker GEC offers a very small ‘a la carte’ menu with pasta and fries. Except for the cheese, all is vegan. Next to the menu, there is a buffet you can choose from and you will pay per gram.
Read moreThe place is a display of some kind of social economy.
As the place is recently Renovated, a learning process takes place when it comes to service. It can take a while to pay or to be able to order just a drink. But the atmosphere and culture of the place makes it all up.
Nice to eat, great to enjoy.
Pros: Almost all vegan offer, Nice to experiment with different kinds of food, Amazing taste of food!
Cons: Not that cheap, It can take a while if you only order drinks, At the bar only service

Decent - Edit
Located next to Oxfam, this is one of those places that serves fair trade beverages and coffee, which is nice. The food is within Belgian average, meaning that half will be good, a quarter almost good weren't it for the odd flavor that's in your mouth in the end and the other quarter bad. Prices are also within the average.
Read morePros: Nice outdoors tables

Vegan buffet restaurant paid by weight - Edit
After 18:00 they offer a warm vegan buffet and you pay by weight. Before they have salads and soup (at least it was like that todau) Since recently also offers breakfast. Food is delicious and it is nice that you can look in the kitchen. Friendly staff. Sometimes crowded reservation for groups recommend.
Read morePros: Only pay as much as you want to eat
Cons: Can be expensive if you load your plate too much;)

Perfect vegan buffet for on the go - Edit
When you are transferring in Gent-St-Pieters, this is your best option for a quick delicious vegan meal!
Read moreI have been going to Lekker gec for years and literlly saw it transform but the delicious buffet and heart in the right place stayed the same.
They just reopened after a major makeover, this time. The kitchen is now really open which gives it a nice feel. They are still working on the finishing decorative touches but I am sure they will turn it into something beautiful
Eventhough I must admit that I preferred the recycles decorations with washing basket tables and wine bottle lamps back in the day.
The food was delicious, as always and even manages to surprise me such as a belgian andive tempura I had this time.
The staff was really friendly and welcoming but take into acvount that this social restaurants does it best to also employ people that normally don't get a job easily, such as refugees. So you might not be able to communicate with everyone in Dutch. Also, it is not uncommon to share your table with other visitors. Try to be a social customer in this social restaurant ;)
Pros: You pay forward a coffee or a meal, for someone in need, You can pay by weight according to your apetite

Decent - Edit
Lekker Gec is just outside the most touristy part of Ghent. Everything can be made vegan, though they will add cheese or other dairy if you ask. I only tried two items, and they were both alright.
