♿ Wheelchair accessible

Brasserie Old Gent is an authentic Ghent brasserie that celebrates regional cuisine. The menu features classics such as Ghent-style chicken waterzooi, eel in green sauce, beef stew with fries, vol-au-vent and homemade shrimp croquettes. The beer list focuses on Belgian regional beers with attention to Ghent and East Flemish breweries. The interior combines classic wooden elements with a homely atmosphere, and the service is warm and attentive.

The entrance is barrier-free from the pavement. The ground-floor dining room has sufficient passage between the tables and the furniture can be moved to slide a wheelchair comfortably to the table. The adapted toilet is fully equipped for disabled users with grab bars, a lowered washbasin and turning space. Reservation is recommended, mentioning your accessibility needs.

Parking in Ghent is best done at Parking Vrijdagmarkt or Parking Sint-Michiels, both with disabled spaces and short walking distances to the centre, although you should expect some cobbled sections. The Ghent inner city is largely car-free and increasingly adapted for wheelchair users. Combine your visit with a roll along the Graslei, a visit to the Gravensteen or MSK Ghent.
