Pacha Mama - Ghent

Formarly known as De paddestoel the mushroom this restaurant has been around for a long time. I come here often for lunch if I want to have enough energy for the rest of the afternoon. The main dish consists of a combination of lots of ingredients and is always tasty. The atmosphere is no nonsense, the service swift and the staff is very helpful. Unfortunately the dessert is usually not veganisable. But on two occasions the chef gave me a little bowl of fruits :

I've been there various times and always had very good food. You get a plate (small or regular) with a grain, various vegetables, a legume and something extra (it can be tofu, tempeh, or a fried croquette). It tastes like home-made food. The atmosphere is cozy and in the summer you can sit on their terrace. Please make sure to mention you want a vegan meal. They cook only vegetarian food but use also dairy and eggs in some of the dishes. There are luckily always enough vegan options to form a full plate.

Easy eating, fast service, vers yummy, big plate for good price, free water, lovely room to dine in.

The food was okay, a mix of vegetables and sauces with quinoa. It’s healthy, but not very interesting and a plate full of veggies does not justify the price of the meal for me.

Delicious dishes, so varied! Super friendly service and cook!
