Pakhuis occupies a former warehouse from the late nineteenth century hidden in an alley next to the Korenmarkt: a tall hall with green iron galleries and a glass roof. It is one of Ghent's big brasseries, and the space alone is worth the visit.
The menu
Belgian brasserie cooking with local produce and seafood: the oyster and fruits de mer counter is what you see most on the tables. There is an annual oyster market and a terrace that opens in good weather.
When to go
The restaurant serves Monday to Thursday from 12:00 to 14:15 and from 18:30 to 22:30, and Friday and Saturday until 23:00. Between 14:15 and 18:00 the bar offers a short menu, useful if you come back late from a day trip. Closed on Sundays and public holidays.
What to order: the seafood and oysters from the counter, or a Belgian dish with local produce
