Ghent has many restaurants with diverse types of cuisine. You’ll certainly have to come back another time because you won’t be able to taste them all! That’s why we have made a selection of addresses near the Congress. For some of them you’ll need to make a reservation, and we have made that clear below.

What about a wine bar?

Oh, uhm, you better be sure that we only want you to drink the best ‘natural wine’, that’s why we are sending you to these two addresses:

Wijnbar ONA

Nederkouter 71

Let yourself be inspired by the sommeliers in a bustling atmosphere. ‘Tell me what wine you drink, and I’ll tell you who you are!’

Or a belgian beer to end the weekend?

Don’t miss the opportunity to taste one of our Belgian beers, because Belgium is known worldwide for their beer, their Manneken Pis and their fantastic football players (Sammy Bossut anyone? just kidding...).

Het Waterhuis aan de Bierkant

Groentenmarkt 9

Find your place on the terrace near the water and dream of the other side.

Oh yes, last but not least: If there are too many choices on this list, just ask one of the Belgians at the Congress. We can be friendly... sometimes, really!
