1. Café ’t Volkshuis

A traditional café-pub, excellent value and especially good for lunch. It is also a popular venue for sing-along evenings.
2. Het Dagelijks Brood

Or “Le Pain Quotidien” in French. Part of an esteemed chain providing wholesome sandwiches on crusty bread, plus pâtisserie and other snacks.
3. Taverne De Verloren Hoek

A traditional, pleasant and welcoming tavern named after its location in the “Lost Corner” of eastern Bruges.
4. De Belegde Boterham

The name translates as “open sandwich”, which is exactly what they do – along with soups, salads and cakes.
5. Salade Folle

A deservedly popular lunch spot and tearoom serving light dishes, home-made cakes, pancakes and waffles. You need to get there early for lunch.
6. Frituur de Vier Winden

There’s been a frietkot (chip/French fries stand) on the Markt since 1896. This one does good crispy fries (with mayonnaise, of course), plus a range of accompaniments.
7. Bistro de Eetkamer

Elegant but unflashy, this very popular bistro passes the locals’ rigorous standards with its good-value food.
8. ’t Nieuw Museum

In this old family-run tavern, the meat is cooked on an open fire (evenings) in a 17th-century fireplace – a delightfully elemental experience.
9. Gran Kaffee de Passage

A wonderfully dingy, candle-lit interior provides an enchanting setting for good beer and solid, good-value Belgian dishes.
10. Het Andere Idee

A comfortable “pasta-bistro”, popular with locals and well-priced.
