What To Expect
We meet at Hostel Upperlink for a short introduction of our food culture, followed by a taste of the best fries in town at Frituur Tartaar. Once our guide tells you the story of the fries, you'll never call them French fries again!
Next stop is Ooost, the regional center for local products, to tell you about the famous Ganda ham and give you a taste of a delicious local candy that we try to keep hidden from the rest of the world.

2.00Yes we did get to taste local foods but I didn’t feel it was organized very well. It was just okay not what I had hoped it would be.
Great tour, great tastes

5.00The tour itself was great, Sophia was a wonderful guide. It doesn't seem like booking through the legends website actually registers you for the tour. The last couple we've been on we weren't on the list of people who registered even though we received confirmation emails.
Stories behind Belgian food

5.00Very interesting tour with possibility to test some Belgian food and sweets while walking around Gent's historical centre. Our guide Sophia told a lot of stories behind of each of it. At the end of tour you will get recommended places to eat or drink a really good Belgian beer.
A Great Taste of Ghent!

5.00This tour was 100% worth it for the price! There were only four people on our tour, which might have been why but the portion of fries was so big we couldn’t finish it! Everything else was as expected, two pieces of chocolate, a candy, a quarter of a waffle, a little stew, a cube of meat with mustard, and a small glass of beer. For the price we paid this tour was definitely worth it! Our guide Hans was also very informative, he gave us a few quick points of history about the city as we walked, and also had a very long talk with my friend who was interested in the churches of the city. The tour definitely doesn’t have a history focus but you do get the sparknotes. I would highly recommend to anyone who wants a small taste of Belgian cuisine!
Nice experience.

5.00Nice information about the origin of what you get to eat, drink and snack. Is something different than about buildings.
A great little taste of Ghent

5.00It was great a lovely way to try some of the key foodie items without having to commit to a full waffle and to get some history and background to go with the snacks. Really would recommend!
Beautiful day in Ghent with good food and lots of cool information about the foods that we tried
