About

IKEA Gent’s Swedish restaurant and bistro serve plant balls, vegan hot dogs, and occasional dishes such as vegan stew, alongside standard cafeteria-style meals. It’s a very low-cost, self-service stop with plenty of seating and kid-friendly facilities, though vegan choices can vary and the plant-ball meal may need to be ordered without its non-vegan cream sauce.
