In Spain, a night out isn’t really over until you’ve had your “recena”🍔. So of course, we brought that tradition with us on Erasmus to Gent.
After countless nights (and early mornings) on Overpoort, we’ve found the go-to spots for that post-party hunger😋. So here’s our Top 5 late-night bites that always save the night: quick, tasty and full of student vibes🎉.
- Pizza Overpoort: Cheap, quick and tasty pizza.
- Stefano's place: Best Jamballa fries in town.
- Frituur Oost: The last place standing when Overpooort goes silent.
- De Gouden Saté: Crispy fries, hot meat, and a welcoming environment.
- Chefdag Overpoort: Crunchy fried chicken and a warm place to eat.

3. Frituur Oost
After going to a Spanish Party at Luxx, Overpoort, we always end up at Frituur Oost 🌯. Our go-to order here is their kebab box, packed with fries, kebab meat and plenty of sauces 🤤. Every bite is warm, flavorful and exactly what we need before going back home.
The best part? They stay open late. When other places have already shut down, you can always count on Frituur Oost for a proper late-night snack, they never disappopint🌙

4. De Gouden Saté
After a long night out in Overpoort bowling where we played 8 pool and of course bowling, we ended up at De Gouden Saté🥔 to recharge our batteries and it was exactly what we needed.
We went for their house special loaded fries, called Julientje, topped with their homemade stew sauce, mayonaise, dried onions and sausages🔥
Bonus: the woman working there speaks Spanish, which is great for Erasmus students.
It’s the kind of place where you can just sit back, enjoy your massive fries and chat about the crazy night you’ve had. Plus, everything is served quickly, which is perfect when hunger hits hard at 3 a.m.

5. Chefdag Overpoort
Chefdag Overpoort🍗 was the first late-night spot we discovered. After our first Erasmus Karaoke night in the city, we ended up there and, honestly, it was such a good idea.
What really makes this place special is the indoor seating area, where you can actually sit down, relax and enjoy your food in peace. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable, making it a great place to hang out with friends or just take a quiet break from the street buzz 🙌.
If you’re into fried chicken and want a spot that combines great flavor with a chill space to eat, Chefdag Overpoort is definitely worth a visit 🍟✨.
