Restaurants cuisine du monde Flandres belges

A handful of à la carte options, and that's it! The cuisine is highly inventive, sophisticated and flexitarian (with vegetarian options), featuring light emulsions, vegetables full of freshness, color, rare scents and tastes and, a house specialty, decorative flowers. For starters, the mi-cuit of organic beef, beet, micro-herb salad, almonds, aged goat's cheese and balsamic vinaigrette was divine, as was the peach of the day (lemon verbena sauce) and its mashed potatoes and organic celeriac.

This gourmet restaurant occupies the majestic dining room of the Héritage Relais & Châteaux hotel in the heart of Bruges. White tablecloths, a fireplace and princely decor combine with impeccable service and top-notch dishes. Chef Raoul de Koning uses top-quality seasonal and local produce. Noble yet classic ingredients are magnified by exotic touches, such as lamb curry with fried asparagus or veal fillet in a wine sauce with marrow. A very fine address!

If the sign sets the tone for possible dissatisfaction, it's full and happy that we leave here. You'll marvel at the fine Spanish-influenced tapas, which are more convivial when shared. But above all, the small plates are very creative, not hesitating to marry savory and sweet, like these roasted sweet potatoes with fresh goat's cheese and tomato chutney. Or the grilled octopus with hazelnut sauce, the dish's secret weapon. Rolling on the floor. Reservations are highly recommended, as this is one of the best addresses in town.

In this former medieval butcher's shop of the 15th century, you can taste the products of Eastern Flanders in the form of tapas at affordable prices, that you pick with your glass, unless you opt for the dish of the day. The building is impressive. A glazed and heated prefabricated structure was built inside to eat in warmth in winter. In the summer, the tables are spread out under the roof. All products are bought directly from the producers and sold in the adjacent store: cold cuts, cheeses, mustard, juniper...

The atmosphere, the decor, the service and, of course, the good food... All the ingredients are there for you to spend a pleasant moment in this restaurant or on its sunny terrace, in the heart of the Grand' Place. Dominique and her team know how to welcome guests, always with a smile, and Chef Philippe's dishes are a delight. While the meat and fish à la carte are traditional (Black Angus' sole meunière...), the suggestions of the moment are sometimes more exotic. Either way, you'll never be disappointed!

For the great bite, this address near the Grand Place serves as a huge boeuf of beef, gambas and large ribs. The service is charming, and the summer is a pleasure to enjoy the terrace with views of the Draps and St Martin's Cathedral. Here is a family restaurant all for good eating (and in quantity) or for a small break in the afternoon.

This former brewery was once an annex of the town hall... hence its name. In July and August, the terrace is very popular. The interior, for its part, has kept its charm with its old stones. The food is simple, tasty, rather copious and, to say the least, original with, for example, the menu of dishes served only with beer, such as the cooked plaice fillet, white butter sauce flavoured with Hommel beer, tomato, mushrooms and shrimps, Flemish carbonade à la Trappiste Rochefort, endives salad and French fries.
