Eating Around with Em

Uncle Babe’s Gent

Uncle Babe’s is where serious burger business meets laid-back bar vibes. This beloved local hotspot in Ghent isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel; it’s just making damn good burgers and serving them with a side of natural wine, craft beer, or a killer cocktail. And frankly, that’s more than enough.

Step inside and you’ll feel like you’ve stumbled into a cosy Brooklyn-style burger joint with Belgian soul. Every burger comes with your pick of fries, onion rings, or salad, and if you’re feeling extra, add bacon, guac, or double meat.

Em’s star rating

Had a great experience at Uncle Babe’s in Gent. The padron peppers were fresh and flavorful, and the buffalo wings were perfectly spicy and tender. The honey sriracha fried chicken was crispy, juicy, and packed with flavour. The Oklahoma burger was hearty and well-seasoned, and the onion rings were crunchy and delicious.

Fun Fact

Uncle Babe’s isn’t just known for its juicy gourmet burgers and craft beers; it’s also gained a reputation for its creative cocktail program. The bar’s cocktails are highly regarded locally, with some of Belgium’s top bartenders having worked behind the bar, making it a favourite not only for food but also for expertly shaken drinks.
