Rumors say there is a cheap and good bistro/restaurant called ” J’ai trouvé ” in the Ajuinlei in Gent. I’ve never been there myself but my source is trustworthy. You can see it on this picture.

Every Sunday morning you can find people selling second-hand books along the Ajuinlei in Gent. To keep themselves warm in cold weather, they order coffee – or something stronger – from nearby cafes.
