A kitchen with LEF

VIERNULVIER's kitchen follows the LEF principle:

  • Local: products that come from as near as possible
  • Ecological: maintaining a sustainable relationship to the environment
  • Fair trade: a fair price for everyone in the food supply chain

As much as we can, we use quality, fresh and organic products that are as unprocessed as possible. We respect the classics but are equally keen to explore new paths, keeping a finger on the pulse of society.

Ferm kombucha
Ferm kombucha was born in 2016 from a small pop-up bar in Serpentstraat. Vooruit was one of the first catering customers of this Ghent brand pur sang. The first bottles were delivered by bicycle from their warehouse in Sint-Amandsberg. In the meantime, Vooruit has also made the switch from glass to the more sustainable can, so Ferm continues to make deliveries by bicycle.

Brasserie Dupont

Food Travellers
Three adventurers found each other in a common passion for India and the Indian cuisine. They founded Food Travellers with the intention of giving you taste the richness of Indian spices. Vooruit's kitchen was happy to oblige. Food Travellers work with local farmers and grower cooperatives. By purchasing parts of the harvests, Food Travellers contribute to the success of local growers in the South.
Goedinge
Goedinge
Goedinge is an organic and self-harvesting farm located in Afsnee, near Ghent. Goedinge works according to the principles of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA): you buy a harvest share at the beginning of the season and then harvest vegetables for a year or pick up your package. Goedinge delivers vegetables to Vooruit, and does so fossil-free by boat across the Lys and Scheldt rivers. Everything fresh from the field, healthy and with a minimal footprint!

Triomfbeer

At the Vooruit Café, not only can you can try our glorious Triomfbier, you can buy some to take home as a present (to yourself or someone else). Triomfbier is our very own beer, brewed in partnership with the renowned Belgian brewery Dupont.

Vooruit and beer: a long history

Vooruit has always had a special relationship with beer; a lot of beer has been poured and consumed here over the past 100 years. What a lot of people don’t know, however, is that in the early 1900s Vooruit had its own brewery, producing a diverse range of beers, including its Uitzetbier, Bockbier and Triomfbier. To honour our 100th anniversary – which we celebrated from May to October 2013 – we decided to bring back our beloved Triomfbier. We gave our recipe an update and since then the amber-coloured beer has earned a permanent spot on our menu. 

"Cloudy orange-coloured beer with a fleeting white head. Excellent beer! Nose: has a floral hoppiness that's also present in other beers from Dupont. Taste: bitter and smoky." (ratebeer.com)
