Who's behind?
Meet the dynamic duo behind Oats - Ewout and Anse Vanmassenhove! As siblings, we've inherited a serious love 💛 for all things delicious from our foodie parents. From our childhood days of culinary exploration to now, our passion for discovering exciting flavors, cuisines, and fantastic eateries knows no bounds!
2018
Oatsome idea!
Anse's love for sports and all things healthy, paired with a hearty appetite for oats, and Ewout's quest for eateries that serve up delicious, nutritious, and budget-friendly bites, led us to join forces back in 2018. Our very first Oats Day Long restaurant in Ghent saw the light of day, hooray! 🙌
2019
Oats as our hero!
Ever since we opened our doors in Ghent back in 2018, our mission has been crystal clear: to serve up simple & wholesome food in an innovative way that truly celebrates the hero: oats. 🌾 Add to that our killer customer service, specialty coffee, and a range of homemade drinks, and voila – you've got the distinct Oats style that sets us apart!
2024
Well, that escalated quickly...
Fast forward 6 years and 7 locations later, and we're still on a mission to spread the oatsome goodness far and wide. Our goal? To be trusted allies in our guests’ daily routines, empowering them to thrive ‘Oats day long’. 🫶
Local first!
As we've expanded our footprint, we've also grown our team and our menu. But here's the twist – we're all about keeping things local. 🍋 With a seasonal menu sourced from nearby, we aim to keep surprising you with fresh flavors & ingredients. Our welcoming teams hail from the neighborhood, and if you become a regular at any of our spots, you can bet they'll know you by name and your go-to order!
Little side noat...
Every Oats location features a cozy shop where you can pick up local goodies like our homemade granola, specialty coffee ☕️, artisanal peanut butter 🥜, and more! It's just another way we're bringing the best of the neighborhood right to your doorstep. You're welcome!
