As a belgian that lives and was born in ghent i took this for granted i just pass by everything not thinking much of it Now that i see how appriciative she is about every little detail i feel like i should open my eyes more around me and see the small things in life and think that not everything in belguim has a gliomy vibe 😂 But i geuss it also comes with being a local i imagine if i were to go to japan i’d be in awee to like she is in ghent and for the locals in japan they might have the same view as i who just doesn’t think much of it New lesson learned - stop and look around you , take it all in , and appriciate what you have ❤
Being born and bred in Ghent, thank you for the loving tour of my city and your kind words for the cuisine of Belgium, Flanders and Ghent in particular. As others have commented, you don't know what you have until you see it thru the eyes of an outsider.
I really appreciate that. Ghent will always have a place in my heart. The people are so kind and welcoming. It it truly beautiful. Really, the region of Flanders is not to be missed for anyone who loves incredible food and stunning landscapes. I look forward to visiting Belgium again. I also want to explore Wallonia, too.
You and your partner put so much effort and care into this video and your enthusiasm for trying the cuisine is lovely to see! Also, perfect timing as I'm visiting Gent next week. Great recommendations- I'm definitely going to try hunt out those pralines, cheese and the stew!
Thank you so much. It means a lot that you enjoyed this video. I hope you can make it to some of the places we visited. Either way, you'll have a great time!
Hey Brigitte, thank you for this riveting production, well done! living already for 20years in Gent, I mist say: I love how much you love our city ❤ You handpicked some good and relevant foodie experiences (that mustard you tried is so Unique for Gent, cuberdons as well, Kultur is simply the best bakery in Gent, Grey schrimp sandwich from Aula, Deduytschaever pralines,..And Many Many more) More over; kudos for your background knowledge: impressive! Well done, well done! Let this video inspire many more tourists and enjoy Gent to the fulliest 💗 Thank you Brigitte!
Haha the stew is one of our best foods in Belgium ! I absolutely looooooooooove it! Amazing video!! You did a great job showing what our culture is like and i'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
Thank you for actually taking time to get to know your destination. I was really impressed with your assessments of what you ate, and where. I look forward to other destinations in future!
I love your video of Gent and your appreciation of the foods and drinks. Are you a chef? You know a lot about food. I feel so privileged now when it always seemed normal for us. You will love Brugge too I am sure .Thank you 😊
Thank you so much. Yes I am a chef. I also visited Brugge and filmed there. Check out the video. I will also be releasing videos in Antwerp and Brussels soon. Thanks for watching!
Your research is quite awesome for it to take you out of the centre to pita musa . I go to that marrakesh olive stand to get my rfissa 'bread' :-) Glad you liked it here and your pronounciations are fun . good show
Thanks so much. I try to research and ask locals where they eat. Pita Musa felt like such a beloved place and really part of the community. And I think about that Marakesh olive stand all the time. You're lucky to have it! Thanks for watching!
I live 20km from Gent, thought I knew my way around the city, ‘till I saw your video 🤣 Your enthousiasm and respect for our food- and drinking culture is amazing! Thx for this video. Groetjes uit Vlaanderen!
Btw, the cheese with mustard combo is something I grew up with and didn’t realize just how Belgian it is until you said:’where has this been my whole life?’ ☺️
next time you are in belgium maybe try mussels with fries bicky burger that you can find in the chip shops in belgium. of course shrimp croquettes. a luikse waffle a brussels waffle chicory with cheese sauce with mashed potatoes tomato shrimp with fries a mattentaartje for beer we have so many good beers
I tried many of those Belgian dishes, including mussels with frites, in my time in other cities. They will be published soon! Thanks so much for the recommendations, as well.
ghent is the flemish speaking part of belgium and when you say bonjour people will continue in french and when you say hello or hi they will talk english because the most important language in belgium is the language of the customer ;)

@@what.tomorrow.brings Let me know when u visit next time! I can send u my small Ghent walking tour. For example on the graslei we have the smallest house in Ghent (Tolhuisje) used to be a place where people pay taxes on their merchandise. Now it's a supersmall cafe :D also the chocolate of Joost Arijs is also popular ^_^
Will you also pass by Antwerp? Or are you already been there? I could recommend some place or if you like guide you along some of the best foodie places for free of course! I am a vivid foodie and daily cook living in Antwerp. I visited 18 Michelin stars until now 🙂 But I also keep an eye on the small simple places that offer super quality! Perhaps try the shrimp croquettes at Fish a'gogo near the Cathedral? There are SOOOOO many fine places to enjoy the best quality food and drinks!
Thank you so much! I already visited Antwerp. So many great places to eat. Such a cool city, too. That will be coming out within the next month. Thanks again for your offer!
@@what.tomorrow.brings So what about the Netherlands? I was born in Amsterdam but there are actually some other places I can recommend. Things I can recommend is Snert ( the traditional very thick pea soup ) , Mosterd soep ( mustard soup) with an unexpected subtle flavour) , smoked eel, kibbeling ( fried cod bites ), slip tongetjes ( sole fish) and Rijsttafel ( Small dishes from the Indonesian cuisine ) and eat at one of the Surinamese restaurants in Amsterdam or Rotterdam!
you only forgot to try the belgian Snackbar (Frituur) and try some Bicky Burger :p further Belgium is a small country but I think on food map, not the smallest. the stoofvlees (brew) and Vol au vent are my favorites to. in every snackbar you also can order french fries with the brew (stoofvlees) and than ask or with mayonaise or with Joppie sauce :D
just to be a litte protective of our beer culture ... she added extra foam after the poor. That was not how you're supposed to do it. -3 points to Gruut. On the other hand the SGOL Lachouffe beer was massive, he felt generous and gave you quite more beer than normal. you're a foodie for sure, just a shame your cameraman died from hunger filming you 😉
That is true for those that are sold in packages at supermarkets usually (like in the video most likely), in a good bistro or top quality restaurant they are freshly peeled.
@@danielvancamp7225gent is vlaams! Als ze probeert, Wat goed is, dat ze het dan goed leert. Er zijn hier al genoeg Vlaamse steden waar ze met moeite nog Nederlands spreken.. en dan vooral aan de Belgische kust die in de Vlaamse regio ligt.
Gent is flamish speaking but we speak frensh to. What is you overal view of Belgium and the food if you compare it. whit the usa.. we go every year to the usa for my family and be honest I'm alway glad to be back and the nature food en not the chemical food. Even ore coca cola is better in Europe. And the Ali drink is not made by hem is there before he was working there is just difrend liquor we use. I'm born there and I go there a lot. And sadly you were 5 min from rhe real Martino place were it al started
Your video is shocking, and you may not realize why. It's the part about the so called Martino, which isn't a Martino at all. Don't worry about butchering pronounciations. The one who has to worry is the one who butchered the original recipe of a Martino. There is only 1 recipe and it's not anything like what they have served you. There's nothing wrong with the sandwich of course, but they are not allowed to call this a Martino. Shame on them ! Having said this, I'm happy you enjoyed your trip. Thanks for sharing.
Ghent for international viewership. They gotta think about the algorithm as a creator. A lot more people will look for Ghent than for Gent ;) no need to be too pedantic.

You forget what you have until you see it from the eyes of a tourist! great video 👍
So true! Thanks for watching
As a belgian that lives and was born in ghent i took this for granted i just pass by everything not thinking much of it
Now that i see how appriciative she is about every little detail i feel like i should open my eyes more around me and see the small things in life and think that not everything in belguim has a gliomy vibe 😂
But i geuss it also comes with being a local i imagine if i were to go to japan i’d be in awee to like she is in ghent and for the locals in japan they might have the same view as i who just doesn’t think much of it
New lesson learned - stop and look around you , take it all in , and appriciate what you have ❤
Beautiful representation of Belgian food!! You literally included everything that i would recommend to tourists!✨
Coming from a local that is the ultimate compliment. Thank you so much.

Very nice! But why do you keep saying "merci beaucoup" and "bonjour"? 😊 You are in het flemish part of belgium. We say "goeiemorgen" and "dankuwel".
She's American

Very beautiful documentary of Ghent. Only the "bonjour" when entering a store is somewhat off-putting for Flemish viewers.
We collect them at sea, fly them over to Morocco to get them peeled..and then we sell them at outrageous prices 😂
That is true for those that are sold in packages at supermarkets usually (like in the video most likely), in a good bistro or top quality restaurant they are freshly peeled.
Wa usually eat Martino without vegetables
Oh yea it didn't really need the vegetables, I agree. Thanks for watching.
nice video sadly you didn't mention the prices you paid for the food :(
Thank you. The links with all information on each place, including prices, are in the description.
8:45 the perfect bite
I still have dreams about that moment 😄
Should mention that Gent is known for his veggie and vegan restaurants.
That's true. I forgot to mention it.
did she said bonjour in the store? 😂 gent is not french speaking, its flemish(dutch)
At least she’s trying!
@@MrMathy16 try harder than, learn the diffrence between french speaking parts and flemish speaking parts
Ghent has a well known french history, so actually it's the perfect city in Flanders to speak French.

Its the city of the student s taths way so many bice s
It’s Gent, not Ghent.
And you even didn't taste the best food in Belgium ;)
I visited 3 other Belgian cities, those videos will come out soon!

Ni eens een frituur, wtf
I visited and filmed in 3 more Belgian cities. Those vids are coming out soon. In them, I visited Frituur for belgian frites. Thanks for watching.

google translate translates gent also in ghent
Gent = Ghent in english - Paris = Parijs in het nederlands ( zeg en schrijf jij Paris. Ik denk het niet)
22:51 i love the smell of freshly baked bread
I think I should visit my neighbours sometime
Ghent is beautiful
greetings from the netherlands
It is so beautiful and so easy to get to from the Netherlands. I visited the Netherlands after Belgium, those vids are coming out soon. :)
