Komkommertijd Ghent




So I forgot to share some very "food-important" information with the world.
Last friday I had dinner with my mum and sister in a very "hippie-style" restaurant in Ghent: Komkommertijd.
It's an "all-you-can-eat" vegan restaurant, in the heart of the city. I actually hate the "all-you-can-eat" formula, because it reminds me of cheap all-in holidays with lots of greedy, lazy people eating and drinking all day long. But that's really not the case here.
Komkommertijd always serves soup for starters, then you can choose from a hot and cold buffet of vegan dishes and if there's some room left in your tummie there's dessert. The food is delicious, but you have to be in for special flavours and veggie food. So, it's a no go if you have carnivore friends. The soup they served friday was some Indian Curry Cabbage soup, really yummie. The dishes from wich you could choose were mainly composed of seasonal products. A lot of pumpkin-containing-dishes, butternut squash goulash, cabbage-salad, tofu meatballs, indian and thai spices, vegetable curries, chili sin carne, etc. were served and for dessert they served us a delicious vegan chocolate cake. Impossible to stick to just one piece of that last one. It's a green restaurant so they're are really ethically concerned about everything they do, that explains the use of their seasonal products and the discount you get when you're a "friends-of-the-earth" member. Despite of their "mixed-cliché" interior, this restaurant is highly recommended when in serious need of huge amounts of healthy, vegan, yummielicious dishes.
