Overview

Our walking food tour in Ghent is unique because we offer a combination of sightseeing in and outside the city centre and some good food and drink tasters. These tasters are traditional Ghent and Belgian specialities, but also include some international dishes. After all, Ghent is multicultural, which also reflects in the city's eateries, created by people who also made Ghent their home. We support local, small businesses and get you in touch with the locals who are happy to share their story as well. This tour shall include all your senses. See the sights and the food, feel and smell the food before you eat it and listen to your guide's stories. Our groups are small to keep it safe and to give you the best possible experience.

Itinerary

  • Vrijdagmarkt (Pass By)

    We start this walking food tour in Ghent at the Artevelde statue at Friday Market. This is a historical square with interesting houses and some cool facts. After a brief introduction and information about what to expect, we explore the square and the surrounding streets. We have a few shops and eateries that we visit. Food & drink tasters in this area can exist of beef stew and fries, chocolate, vegan cheese and muffins and the very best of Belgian chocolate. Please note that this itinerary is an example only and also the suggested tasters are examples. We adjust ourselves to the partners we work with and when they are closed on the day that you visit, we choose a different one. Just so you know :) When you book, we will let you know what you can expect, but we also want to surprise you!

  • Gravensteen (Pass By)

    Following the discovery of Friday Market and surroundings, your guide will take you to another highlight of our city - the Castle of the Counts (Gravensteen). This is a medieval castle with a lot of stories to tell. Your guide will take you to the surrounding areas as such. For instance, Saint Veerle Square. In this area, the food and drink taster examples are "real" Belgian waffles, chocolate, cheese, wine and beer, Ghent ham (Ghanda ham). Very mouthwatering, isn't it? :) Be surprised about what you are getting!

  • Graslei and Korenlei (Pass By)

    From the Castle of the Counts, get yourself to the very heart of Ghent's old town with your guide. Graslei and Korenlei are not to be missed areas. This was the place to be in the Middle Ages, but it is still the most popular area to hang out. Your guide will explain to you its importance and tell you some hidden secrets. There are no food and drink stops here.

  • Het Belfort van Gent (Pass By)

    The Ghent Belfry is one of the oldest in Belgium and next on your itinerary. As a matter of fact, you will get to see the Saint Nicolas Church, the Belfry and the Saint Bavo Cathedral all at once. These are the 3 Medieval towers of Ghent. Apart from beautiful views and some cool streets around this area, there are also some great food and drink tasters. For example chocolate, wine, exotic street food Flemish meatballs or plant-based food deliciousness. You will definitely be surprised by all the goodies!

Sophie was absolutely...

Published on Apr, 2025

Sophie was absolutely amazing as our guide. We loved the city and loved the tour. She went above and beyond to make sure our 3 kids were comfortable and having a good time at every stop of the tour. Super friendly, easy to talk to, and really knew her stuff. You could tell she loves what she does, and it made the whole experience even better. She even ensured each stop had a gluten free AND vegetarian accommodation.

Highly recommend!

Published on Sep, 2024

Sophie was such a wonderful, passionate, and kind host for this tour. I was the only one that had booked that time and date, but she still went ahead and gave me a personal food tour! She also was able to cater all the food items to my dietary needs, as I need to eat a gluten free diet. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this tour and about my guide, and the business owner, Sophie. Highly recommend!

Delicious and insightful

Published on Jul, 2024

What a tour, a great way to experience the city while enjoying local food tastings along the way. Start the trip on an empty stomach, you will be sampling many delicious foods throughout the day. I appreciated the knowledge of the guide and selection of foods.

Rainy day with interesting tour and good food stops

Published on Dec, 2023

Good tour with interesting food - enjoyed it! Rain and wind so we probably spent more in time the food stops but that worked well. Great guide....

Interesting food tour

Published on Jun, 2023

Sofie was informative, lively, and helpful. She crafted a tour that met the interests and requirements of our small group, introducing us to quintessentially Belgian food (croquettes), vegetarian dishes (apparently a large market in Ghent), cheeses, and of course, chocolates. We wandered about the touristy area of Ghent as she pointed out locations that were worth a later visit, and she wove historical and socioeconomic information into her presentations, such as the dragon atop the medieval belfry downtown.
