The story
Amour brings seasonal vegetarian cooking to Sint-Salvatorstraat in Ghent under the guidance of siblings Johanna and Yassin Pycke. They closed their previous venue Pycke Zot to dedicate themselves fully to this project. The kitchen reduces food waste by letting market availability dictate the weekly menu. Guests simply choose how much to place on their plates from the daily counter.
The vegetarian kitchen rotates its offerings daily, leaning heavily toward vegetable focused preparations. Recent offerings featured a creamy carrot and pumpkin dip alongside pickled radish and marinated mushrooms. Warm plates shift quickly through the week, often highlighting miso roasted pointed cabbage or endive finished with a rich vegan bechamel. House made desserts like brownie and tiramisu pair well with house brewed kombucha or freshly squeezed citrus drinks.
Red brick walls meet polished concrete floors and exposed pipework throughout the dining room. The layout feels open and deliberately uncluttered. The restaurant welcomes groups of up to fifteen diners for weekday lunches and Friday evening dinners. Guests easily transition to a substantial outdoor terrace when the weather turns favorable, a setup praised by reviewers who recently noted the restaurant's Le Fooding listing.
