Brasserie 1900 Bruges
Brasserie 1900 is a charming brasserie in the historic centre of Bruges, within walking distance of the Grote Markt and the Belfry. The restaurant is housed in a building that nods to the Belle Époque and blends the atmosphere of a classic Belgian brasserie with regional dishes such as Bruges beef stew, Flemish mussels and rolled sole. The warm interior with wooden panelling and art-nouveau accents attracts both tourists and local guests.
The main entrance is step-free thanks to a gentle ramp, and the dining room on the ground floor is spaciously arranged so that wheelchair users can easily move between the tables. An accessible toilet with grab rails and turning room is on the same level. When booking, guests can request a table with extra manoeuvring room.
The immediate surroundings are partly paved with historic Bruges cobbles, which can be uncomfortable in places for finely tuned wheelchairs. The pavements themselves are paved and wide. There is no on-site parking, but the public 't Zand car park, a few minutes by wheelchair, has accessible spaces and step-free access to the city centre.
Good to know
- Reservation
- Book ahead, certainly on summer weekends and public holidays; mention when booking that you are a wheelchair user so you get a table with extra manoeuvring room.
- Busy and quiet times
- Tourist summer weekends (July-August) and public holidays are extremely busy; weekday lunch and afternoons give a more authentic Bruges atmosphere.
- Things to note
- Step-free entrance via a gentle ramp, spacious ground-floor dining room and an accessible toilet with grab rails — very well sorted for a historic building.
- Visit tip
- The surroundings have classic Bruges cobbles — use the 't Zand car park with accessible-parking spaces for the flattest route. Combine with a wheelchair stroll to the [Church of Our Lady Bruges](/en/locaties/onze-lieve-vrouwekerk-brugge/) or the [Belfry of Bruges](/en/locaties/belfort-van-brugge/).
