Finding a restaurant in Bruges: advice & recommendations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When traveling, finding a decent restaurant is often a challenge and the same goes in Bruges! You’ll find tons of restaurants in the “Venice of the North”, but many are quite disappointing. It is all the more irritating as the prices are generally quite high, including in the most inexpensive restaurants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some recommendations to avoid unpleasant surprises: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Try and avoid the cheapest restaurants. Sure, this advice may seem a little trivial, but if you’re ready to pay an extra 3-4 euro per dish, the Captain promises it will be worth your while. And everything is very expensive in Bruges anyways, so better to pay 20-22 euros per dish and truly enjoy your meal, rather than pay 16-18 euros and end up with terrible food. Don’t you think so? <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • follow the locals: it’s a great indicator of the quality of a restaurant. Listen to the people in the restaurant: if they speak Flemish, it’s a good sign! <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • If you have the internet, you can also look at the recommendations on TripAdvisor. Sure, that’s not very spontaneous, but you’ll be sure to find a nice place to eat, and that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
