Catering
The success of an event depends on the catering. The Ancienne Belgique is well aware of that. We have everything to make your dreams come true: a fully equipped kitchen, a kitchen staff full of ideas, different locations, etc. Receptions, walking dinners or a gala dinner; everything is possible.
The Hall, for example, is the perfect décor for a pleasant dinner (max. 300 persons, seated) or a big walking dinner for up to 600 persons. The Agora offers the possibility to organize receptions, walking dinners, etc for up to 300 persons. The Club is the ultimate solution if you prefer a somehow more intimate atmosphere, again with plenty of possibilities. Finally, there is our Café-Restaurant, which can be booked for business lunches.
The AB offers a personalized catering service for your events. Ranging from a reception or a walking dinner to a three-course gala dinner, from an oriental buffet to a typical Brussels meal.
