Bruges Bites & Brews: Storybook Comfort in Belgium
Bruges felt like stepping into a storybook, where every cobblestone street, medieval turret, and horse-drawn carriage ride added to the magic. I wandered past dreamy canals and Gothic spires, ducked into lace shops and candlelit cathedrals... and found myself falling head over heels for the food. This wasn’t just a pretty place. It was a culinary wonderland. From rich stews and golden fries with creamy mayo, to decadent waffles, glossy pralines, and some of the best beer I’ve ever sipped (served in steins the size of your head), Bruges delivered comfort food with finesse and unforgettable flavor. Whether it was moules-frites in the square, a warm croissant from a local bakery, or an elegant tasting menu at a Michelin-starred spot, every bite was a love letter to Belgium. This list is my guide to some of the best bites and brews in Bruges: the breweries, waffle houses, chocolate shops, cozy cafés, romantic restaurants, and sweet patisseries that made this one of the most delicious destinations I’ve ever experienced. Start here if you're craving charm, flavor, and a little fairy-tale magic. 💫🍻🧇
