Steamy Windows
Ghent, Belgium
The read// why locals go
Steamy Windows is a dumpling bar and shop on Hoogpoort in central Ghent, built around a tight menu, a curated sake list and dumplings you can take home. The name covers two things at once: a restaurant, and a shop where packs of frozen dumplings and a bottle selection of sake and non-alcoholic drinks are sold to take away. Two independent local sources name it a neighbourhood favourite. Vegetarian and vegan dumplings sit on the regular menu rather than arriving as substitutions, which makes it a straightforward choice for mixed groups, and mains run around 10 EUR. There is a terrace for warmer days.
