Eetcafé Toreke

Eetcafé Toreke: social and sustainable café in Ghent

Eetcafé Toreke is a really special café, it’s definitely not like any other. It’s a real neighbourhood affair, with a low-key, relaxed atmosphere. The reason for this is that it’s established as a place that has to serve the community. So people from the community work here, there’s a social price for people that have financial difficulties, and associations and groups in the area use the premises for meetings and events alike.

But when it comes to food, it’s also quite unique, working abundantly with organic and local ingredients. One of the main features of Eetcafé Toreke is that it’s a social working place, one where people are employed which face difficulties on the jobmarket, and are trained here and obtain a lot of experience. Therefore, visiting the place means also contributing to an important social project.

Besides having a drink or food here, you can also visit Eetcafé Toreke for one of its many cultural activities. As said, it’s a meeting place, a neighbourhood affair, much more than just a restaurant. An important social and sustainable project.
