Planning a little weekend trip to Bruges next month, so trying to get everything sorted now. Just learned that the city center gets really busy with tourists during the weekend so making sure to have a plan for food. Looking for a top 3 list of restaurants that are actually worth the visit. Do you have any suggestions for good places to eat ??

For real belgian food and beer go to Cambrinus or Café Vlissinghe. For something fancy try De Jonkman or Locàle but u should make reservations for Cambrinus or Nieuw Museum or u wont get a table. Many places in center is more expensiv because of tourists.

thanks

I disagree about the fancy stuff being only for special occasions because De Jonkman offers an excellent dining experience with a high-end tasting menu and it was totally worth it

The center is a total scam sometimes ! That chocolatier is a top-tier one on Simon Stevin Square but it is much more expensive than others !

Maybe check out Más Brugge too. It serve westernized Mexican street food which is ok but maybe not what everyone is looking for !

Was wondering the same thing sooo hard when I went last year. Couldn't decide where to go either because there are too many options !

Just a heads up that some local reports suggest that 't Bagientje has declined in food quality and service recently so maybe skip that one.
