1. Nub Smashburgers

๐Ÿ“Location: Cataloniรซstraat 3, 9000 Ghent

๐Ÿ“žPhone number: Not available 

๐Ÿ”ŽCheck the website for more information 

 

Ambiance and first impressions

It's a small room but that's also what makes it nice and cozy. ๐Ÿ โœจ There are 12 different tables, which is not a lot compared to the big fast-food brands, but it's also what creates the ambiance. ๐ŸŽถ

Also in the room, there's trendy music that everyone will know.

 

What we ordered

1 Special Smash๐Ÿ”: 
  • 2 smash burgers (โ‚ฌ10,90)
  • 1 Pepsi๐Ÿฅค (โ‚ฌ2)

 

Flavors and presentation

If youโ€™re a spice lover, the Special Smash is calling your name!๐ŸŒถ๏ธ

But donโ€™t worry if youโ€™re not up for the heat, the classic Original Smash is just as delicious. The price of โ‚ฌ10,90 seems a lot for a burger, but with each order, you get 2 burgers in a nice silver tray. The silver tray makes it special to other places where you get it on a plate or paper. โœจ

 

Service

There is not much service since you have to order the food at the register. ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ The man behind the register and the cook are really friendly and are open to requests (for instance, omitting certain ingredients). ๐Ÿ˜Š

It took around 20 minutes โฑ๏ธ for our food to be delivered, this is a general time for every order since they make the burgers on a big grill. ๐Ÿณ

Ambiance and first impressions 

We arrived around 10:30 in the morning, and to our surprise, the place was already buzzing with people enjoying their burgers and sipping on sodas.๐Ÿฅค๐Ÿ” It was clear this spot was a popular choice, even early in the day!

As we moved further inside, we noticed the modern fast-food vibe, complete with convenient kiosks and plenty of cozy spots to sit and relax. The ambiance was stylish and inviting.โœจ

The biggest downside was the temperature, it was very cold โ„๏ธ, which was a bit uncomfortable. Luckily, the upbeat pop music ๐ŸŽง made the short wait much better.

 

What we ordered

McSmart Menu (โ‚ฌ5.45): ๐Ÿ”

  • 2x Cheeseburger 
  • Small fries 
  • Coca-Cola

2x Crispy Chicken Wraps (โ‚ฌ2,50) ๐ŸŒฏ

 

Flavors and presentation 

The food here met the familiar McDonald's standard, satisfying our cravings with classic flavors.

The cheeseburgers ๐Ÿ” were served a bit cold โ„๏ธ, which was disappointing. However, the cheese was nicely melted, and the buns were soft. The small fries ๐ŸŸ were crisp and golden, perfectly portioned for the meal, though, like the burgers, they could have been warmer. Both Chicken Wraps ๐ŸŒฏ were fresh, nicely complemented by soft tortillas.

The presentation was basic but consistent, as expected for a fast-food spot. Everything was well-packaged and easy to handle.

Overall, it was a delicious meal, though it would have been even better if served hot.๐Ÿ”ฅ

 

Service 

When we came in, the kiosks were right in front of us. The ordering system was convenient, as it was a touchscreen. ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ All we had to do was select our items, pay, take our order number ๐Ÿ”ข, and find a comfortable place to sit. 

After we sat down, a worker brought the food directly to our table by tracking the order number. The whole process took only 3 minutes, it was impressively fast!โšก

3. Starbucks 

๐Ÿ“Location: Korenmarkt 4, 9000 Ghent

๐Ÿ“žPhone number: 09 225 99 36

๐Ÿ”ŽCheck the website for more information 

 

Ambiance and first impressions

The Starbucks at the Korenmarkt in Ghent has a ground floor and an upper floor with tables and seats where you can enjoy your daily coffee and snack โ˜•๐Ÿฉ. Ample space is provided. 
 
The radio plays softly in the background which makes the Starbucks a perfect place to study or read a book. It is a relaxing place. ๐ŸŽง

 

What we ordered

  • 1 Iced latte (โ‚ฌ5,30)
  • 1 Cinnamon Roll (โ‚ฌ3,50)

 

Flavors and presentation

The iced latte was very tasty. The man behind the counter asked if he could warm up the cinnamon roll a little. The cinnamon roll itself was very good tasting, with the perfect balance of cinnamon. ๐Ÿ˜‹

 

Service

Upon entering, we ordered at the register. We had to pick up the order at the counter itself even if we stayed in the Starbucks to eat. So there's not much service. Also when leaving, you are responsible for disposing of your own waste and placing it in a locker. The employees are very friendly though. ๐Ÿค—

Flavors and presentation

The flavors of the burger were really on point!๐Ÿ‘ Every bite was full of that delicious, crispy texture and a hefty dose of flavor. The fries๐ŸŸ could have cooked a little longer for that perfect crunch, but they were still tasty and well-flavoured.
