Tuin Van Eten

Tuin Van Eten: vegetarian pioneer in Ghent

Tuin Van Eten is a vegetarian tavern in Ghent, a classic in the city. You’ll find finely presented vegetarian dishes, as well as pancakes, cakes and ice cream.

This restaurant is a classic in the city, founded in 1998 with the current team working here since 2003. Throughout these 14 years, they have always been dedicated to offering delicious veggie dishes, made with sustainable ingredients. Wherever possible, they work with organic and local ingredients, and the menu does follow the seasons.

On the menu you’ll find plenty of veggie main dishes, with vegan and allergen-free options. But it’s also a nice place to go with children for an afternoon snack, pancake or ice cream. Drinks are equally sustainable, with organic and local craft beers and soft drinks, among others.

Tuin Van Eten is really homely and comfortable, located very close to the Sint Pieters train station. Dishes are also available in a take-away version, and on the walls you’ll find the art work of emerging artists. A very nice place!
