Grand Café Notre Dame

Grand Café Notre Dame is a renowned grand café on the Grote Markt of Leuven, directly opposite the world-famous Gothic town hall. For over 35 years, this establishment has welcomed guests in the vibrant heart of the university city. The café offers an extensive menu of Belgian and French dishes, from steaks and mussels to salads and croque-monsieurs. The kitchen is open continuously every day from noon to 9 pm, making it ideal for both lunch and dinner.

Accessibility at Grand Café Notre Dame is good. The main entrance on the Grote Markt is step-free and wide enough for wheelchairs. The ground-floor terrace and the indoor dining area offer ample space between tables. The toilet on the ground floor has limited accessibility: the door is narrow but usable for most manual wheelchairs. The staff are helpful and experienced in welcoming guests with reduced mobility.

Grand Café Notre Dame is at the most central location in Leuven, surrounded by the town hall, St Peter's Church, and lively shopping streets. Leuven's city centre is largely car-free and paved. Leuven station is a ten-minute walk. Parking with a disability card is available at reserved spaces on the Bondgenotenlaan and surrounding streets.
