Restaurant 't Hofke

Restaurant 't Hofke is a charming venue tucked away in the historic Vlaeykensgang, one of the most picturesque alleys of Antwerp. The combination of centuries-old walls, snug rooms and an intimate inner courtyard makes it a unique address for anyone who loves traditional Flemish dishes in an authentic setting. The menu features classics such as stuffed sole, Antwerp-style beef stew, eel in green sauce and seasonal dishes made with local produce.

Given the historic character of the building, accessibility is partially limited but thoughtfully handled. The main entrance via the Vlaeykensgang is step-free, and the ground-floor dining room is reachable by wheelchair. The upper floors are only accessible via stairs, but the ground-floor room offers enough space and a warm atmosphere. The toilet is on the ground floor, but the space is compact, which may cause difficulties for larger electric wheelchairs. Booking in advance with a note about accessibility needs is recommended.

't Hofke sits in the traffic-free centre between the Oude Koornmarkt and the Cathedral. The cobblestones in the Vlaeykensgang are locally uneven, though the level differences remain limited. The underground Groenplaats and Oudaan car parks offer adapted spaces and lifts, less than five minutes' walk from the restaurant. For visitors arriving by public transport, the Groenplaats tram stop is the nearest.
