Come here at any time of the day: for a delightful breakfast in the morning, or a quick lunch or leisurely dinner later on. In the evening, the bar staff will be happy to mix you a fantastic cocktail! It’s absolutely true: Café Théâtre is where you will officially find the Best Steak Tartare in Flanders and Brussels. Awarded first prize by the leading Belgian magazine Knack, this dish comes highly recommended. But you can also opt for one of the chef’s suggestions or three-course set menu, or you can eat à-la-carte. There is a varied selection of starters, main courses and desserts to choose from. At night the real magicians appear behind the bar. A juice with the right punch, a stiff shot from the bottle, and as if by magic a fabulous cocktail appears. The bar staff at Café Théâtre have won several prizes, so you know you’ve found the right mix! Café Théâtre is a great place for breakfast as well! The impressive coffee and breakfast menu at Café Théâtre is based on the local traditional Bloch Bakery: a household name in Ghent with a history going back 100 years.
