Ghent on the Schinkel is all about a relaxed neighborhood feel. Located on the waterfront of the Schinkel, within walking distance of the Vondelpark, the caf\u00e9-restaurant feels like a regular base for residents of Zuid. Inside, the combination of bar and brasserie is immediately apparent: taps and bottles of Belgian beers on one side, tables for a sumptuous lunch or dinner on the other.<\/h2>\n

You'll notice the Belgian influence especially in the drink menu. The selection of Belgian beers is one of Gent aan de Schinkel's mainstays. From fresh thirst quenchers to heavier beers for later in the evening, the bar is clearly set up for lovers looking for more than a standard lager. In addition, wine plays a major role. The menu is built around quality wines that fit the brasserie character, so you can get by for a glass at the bar as well as with dinner.

The menu features brasserie-style dishes, unadorned but made with products from regional and local suppliers. This is not about high-flown gastronomy, but rather accessible, hearty dishes befitting a caf\u00e9-restaurant you'll return to more often. This choice of producers from the region is in line with the recent revamp of the menu, where comfort food and recognizable flavors have been carried through.<\/p>\n

The terrace is one of Ghent on the Schinkel's strongest assets. The tables are right by the water, with a view of the Schinkel and passing boats. On sunny days, the terrace fills with neighbors who linger from drinks to dinner. That very terrace, in combination with the Belgian beer menu and brasserie cuisine, is why this establishment regularly shows up in local guides for cozy terraces and comfort food in Oud-Zuid.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
