Parels - Gent

The most special café of Genet! With the coolest customers.

Very friendly reception at Els, homemade iced tea and nice cava. A rapist.

Great atmosphere, the Gentse gayscene between locals. Everyone welcome. Good music and for the ladies, there's a hidden treasure room with handmade sexy clothes. So men... The moment to spoil your wife while you're at the bar.

This a bar with an identity to it: is has a mixture of different styles. You get the impression you are in a interpretation of a classic 40s Parisian café. With some mixed influences... Some whisper the owners is a daughter of an iconic poet. I came here to visit a concert of friends, so I 'm not certain if there are occasional concerts here. The amounts of lecture and private corners gave the impression you can disappear in the decor with a book, flirt with your date or sit in a booth with some company without being disrupted by the flow of people going in and out. Certainly worth a visit, even to plan your tourist trip in the city, as there are a lot of touristic leaflets available.

I'll take the perencocktail next time.
