Great brewery with the best beers of Bruges. They have a unique 3km beer pipeline that lies underneath the city streets! Excellent guided tours with tasting afterwards. The food in their own restaurant is also very nice!

Typical view from Bruges with the original medieval gate (Ezelpoort) to the city and the swans swimming in the water. Great for a typical Bruges picture!

If you love nature and walks in a quiet landscape, go to the small, nearby village of Damme. There are several nice hiking routes there. Afterwards you can have a drink or Belgian waffle to reload. Damme is 10 minutes away by car.

This place offers the Belgian cuisine that we love. It is located on one of the most cosy squares in Bruges, close to the Halve Maan brewery. Although it is right in the touristic centre, locals love this place too!

These two fellas opened an original concept in the main shopping street: croques monsieurs or grilled cheese toasts with very tasty, original options. We’ve had the bacon one, very tasty! Just a great snack to eat in or take out on the go. Fuels you for shopping or sightseeing!

Very nice cocktails, hence also quite expensive. Great for a stylish nightcab. We recommend the Pornstar Martini, it is as good as the name suggests :-)

Small, cute coffeebar with the best coffees in Bruges (in my opinion). The owner roasts his own coffebeans and has won awards for his coffeemaking skills. They have coffees on the go if the place is crowded.

‘De Garre’ means ‘super small place’ in Bruges dialect. A nice beer bar hidden right in the heart of Bruges, loved by tourists because of the authenticity. It’s worth a visit! Although a lot of tourists find their way to this place, it is still visited by locals too.

Wonderful, stylish pop up winterbar. So cosy and romantic, tucked into the Minnewater park. Must visit in wintertime. The bar is part of a newly refurbished hotel. It has a lovely winter terrace with plants, lights and good heaters.

‘The wildest (hot) dogs in town’ is what their Facebook page says. This bar is located in a beautiful art deco house, maybe one of the most beautiful bars in town. The name of the bar refers to the grandma of owner Sarah. They offer a variety of drinks and a selected amount of ‘haute’ dogs, not your average hotdog. They have live concerts and art exhibitions. A hidden gem amidst the commercial shopping street!
