Brasserie Les Templiers Mons

Brasserie Les Templiers sits a few steps from the Grand-Place of Mons and is one of the most highly regarded addresses for classic brasserie cooking in the Hainaut capital. The menu features the typical bistro evergreens, from vol-au-vent and steak frites to moules-frites and tarte tatin. In season, local products such as the well-known Mons pate and regional cheeses are served. The interior is warm and welcoming, with wooden boiserie and soft lighting that creates a homely atmosphere.

Accessibility is good. The main entrance is step-free from the pavement and wide enough for a wheelchair or mobility scooter. The ground-floor dining room has plenty of space between the tables, and the staff are happy to help in choosing a suitable spot. The accessible toilet is on the ground floor, with a grab rail, a lowered washbasin and enough turning space for a wheelchair. In good weather there is a wheelchair-friendly terrace on the square side.

Parking in the centre of Mons is challenging; the underground car park beneath the Grand-Place is the best option, with a lift and accessible spaces. From there the pavements have lowered kerbs and are smooth. Mons station is ten minutes' wheeling away on paved pavements with a few cobbled patches. A reservation is recommended, especially during the cultural season when the city receives many visitors.
