My favourite place in Ghent - Edit
… and that’s saying a lot, because there are tons of vegan options here in Ghent. V-Box has amazing food: their freakshakes and other sweets are to die for, and the savory food is also fantastic. The staff understands that people who are vegan also want to indulge sometimes. You won’t find savory filled waffles like this anywhere else. A small, cosy place owned by people that truly have a heart for animals and for their clientele.

Wow! - Edit
The food was so good and the portions big and filling. We got the appetizer plate, a waffle panini and a shake. The donut was delicious! Not too expensive compared to similar places.

Delicious Freakshakes in a steal Cargobox - Edit
VBox i assume it means Vegan Box, because the lunchroom is litterary planted in a box made of steal and glass.
Read moreWe searched for a while to find it in the shopping mall, but actually it was right in front of us. It is in the middle of the open space. We, my big children and i, had two freakshakes, a berry and the chocolat one. A wafle with a eastern Thai fill, the vegan sausage
bun and the burger. It was not well presented except the shakes but
It all tasted very good.
I would defenedly go here again.
Pros: All vegan! 🌱
Cons: I did not like that the plants were not real.

Excellent ! - Edit
Un véritable régal ! Les deux employées ont fait l'effort de parler français pour nous servir et le repas était DÉLICIEUX ! On a eu les yeux plus grand que le ventre et on a commandé plusieurs plats alors que seulement la double gauffre aurait suffit. Ils proposent également un plateau apéro majestueux, le seitan avec sa sauce au beurre de cacahuète vous laissera pantois.

Nice street food - Edit
We had the black Jack burger which was nice especially because it came with nachos band guacamole. Loved the rhubarb lemonade.
Read moreWe also had the waffle panini and it was ok. Very happy to stumble over this place. It’s in a district where many cafes and shops are, so perfect for being there a bit longer.
Pros: Everything is vegan, Nice lemonades, Great surroundings with lots of shops and cafes
Cons: No fries 🙃

Great vegan junk food 😋 - Edit
Nice waffles, pretty filling, with vegan cheese, ham, etc. The shake is made with bananas and not ice cream, but the one we had was sooo delicious! And the donut on top, very good.

Delicious shakes and waffles! - Edit
I really loved the menu at this wee place which is about a 25 minute walk out of old town. V-Box puts a creative twist on street food and everything was super tasty and made well. The savoury waffle I ordered had 'gyros', cheese, mushrooms and BBQ sauce -- a great combination. The donut on top of the freak shake (Biscoff flavored) was so soft and one of the best I've ever had -- it reminded me of a Krispy Kreme but better. Would have loved to have had more milk in the shake for the €8.90 price tag (the Mason jar isn't very big), but otherwise, 5 stars here and I look forward to coming back!

Great. - Edit
Small venue located in a shipping container on a square in some sort of former docking area.
Read moreVery cosy decorated, the line drawing where a lot of animals are drawn in one line is very nice done. (There’s two lines actually)
The vertical garden does have fake plants but on the tables are real cacti.
The music played is by Louis Armstrong, mostly in duet with a female voice. Very soothing, relaxing theme music.
(Moon river and such, the classics)
The food is amazing. Had a chicken bagel and I was blown away. First bite, great flavour!
I also had a pancake.
Service was also very good.
Ordering at the bar, as you have.
There’s an assortment of vegan magazines and leaflets to read if the atmosphere of this place isn’t enough to keep you occupied during the (short) wait for your food.
In conclusion, when in Ghent you should visit this place.
Pros: Feels comfy, Good food, Good service & music
Cons: Small , Plastic plants

Cool place - Edit
Although this place is a bit hard to get to, I'm glad we went there because it has a really nice vibe. We had 3 different waffle sandwiches and all were super tasty and fulfilling.
Read moreWhile the staff was nice, we found it weird we had to make our orders in the balcony even tho they serve on the tables. The place is also really tight which doesn't help either.
Pros: Lots of tasty options , Cool vibe

Good street food ( a little out of the way) - Edit
A completely vegan concept. With mostly finger foods. Took the waffle ( panini) which was good. Nothing exceptional, but filling. Ended up going for a milkshake, which was good as well and thank god for the donut on top! Overall would say the food is something a vegan could make at home, but it’s a nice way to introduce non-vegans to veganized concepts they know.

The freakshake! - Edit
Freakshake. Need I say more?
Read moreThey come with an optional topping donut from Bakkerij Frimout. Sure, the freakshake is expensive, but ... you have to try it at least once. You won't be disappointed. And you'll order it again.
The pancakes are delicious, the waffles are nice. There's so much to like at V-Box.
