About

Barouche, now listed as WASBAR, pairs quick café-style meals with a laundromat upstairs, where guests can eat while washing clothes. Falafel pitas and bowls are recurring vegan picks, though reviews flag uncertainty about pita and bagel ingredients, and the Ghent branch has drawn complaints about cleanliness and slow service at busy times.
