At Courtyard Ghent, dining is more than a convenience - it’s a journey through Belgian tradition and Italian refinement. Whether you are looking for the casual, high-energy buzz of a local brasserie or the sophisticated intimacy of a curated dinner, our two distinct restaurants in Ghent offer a seat for every mood. From the first espresso of the morning at Brasserie STROOM to the final vintage pour at ARNO Ristorante, we invite you to taste the best of both worlds without ever leaving the hotel.
Signature Dining
From our signature Truffle Vol-au-Vent with farm-reared poultry to our crispy, artisanal North Sea Shrimp Croquettes, our on-site hotel restaurant in Ghent takes the heritage of the city and elevates it. Every plate at STROOM balances tradition with modern technique, featuring hand-peeled grey shrimp and artisanal cheeses sourced from our favorite local makers.
Dine & Earn With Marriott Bonvoy
From locally inspired Belgian classics to craft cocktails, every meal at Kitchen & Bar is an opportunity to earn Marriott Bonvoy points. Whether you're joining us for a business lunch or a relaxed dinner by the water, dining with us makes your Ghent experience even more rewarding.
Our menu at Stroom is a curated collection of Ghent’s culinary heritage, polished for the modern traveler. Have you tasted our Gentse Waterzooi reimagined, or our signature Hand-Cut Steak Tartare? Every ingredient is sourced from the fertile polders and local artisans of East Flanders. It’s honest, unpretentious, and deeply satisfying—the kind of meal that makes you feel like a local from the very first bite.
Discover "1974" a gin with a story unique to our doorstep. Inspired by the rich heritage of Ghent, this refined spirit features hand-selected botanicals that pay homage to the year a pivotal chapter of our region was written. Balanced and distinctive, it is the perfect companion to a slow evening by the water. Pair it with our selection of local craft beers, brewed just stones-throw away by Ghent masters.
We take pride in the "honest food" philosophy of our kitchen. From our famous hand-cut steak tartare to our dry-aged selections, we highlight the mastery of local East Flanders butchers and artisans in every bite.
