Guests consistently praise the central yet quiet location in Bruges, the exceptional hospitality of host Wim, and the clean, spacious rooms with comfortable beds. The shared attic lounge and fully equipped kitchen are highlights, along with complimentary welcome wine and a well-stocked fridge. Minor drawbacks include warm indoor temperatures in summer without air conditioning, occasional shared-space considerations, and limited check-in flexibility.

Zet'Joe by Geert Van Hecke

french · ★ Michelin

€€€€

Geert Van Hecke, who boasted three Michelin stars for twenty years at the Karmeliet, is definitely worthy of the title “Godfather of Belgian gastronomy”. Zet’Joe is more casual and a little bit like walking into the chef’s home. A warm interior and an impressive art collection instantly set the scene. Mireille, his delightful partner in the dining room, wields the cheese trolley with impressive dexterity. Van Hecke harnesses his consummate knowhow and sensitivity to enhancing first-rate ingredients. A silky last-minute béarnaise sauce, made with carrot and orange jus, coaxes out the full flavo

Sans Cravate

€€€€

As the name suggests (Without a tie), this eatery is casual in vibe. The snug interior, done up in pastel shades, is bathed in natural light. Despite a lineup of familiar flavours, Sans cravate knows how to surprise the diner. The concise à la carte menu, together with a weekday menu and a several course menu at the weekend, bear witness to the attention lavished on exceptional ingredients by chef Henk Van Oudenhouve. He might mingle textures, such as langoustine and artichoke, with a punchy bisque made out of shellfish heads, and cooks the mullet on a spit in a delicious Mediterranean dish fe

Jacobin, which is blessedly free of fussy, superfluous frills, sports a warm minimalist Scandinavian interior and focuses on dishes to share, both at lunch and dinnertime. The regularly renewed menu is packed with enticing dishes that keep pace with the seasons. Examples include pork belly in crunchy crackling served with a slightly sweet stock of braised onion and apples, fresh goat’s cheese and a lightly browned endive.

Put on your rose-tinted spectacles and bask in the warm, cosy interior of Quatre Vins, steeped in the vibe of a stylish private sitting room. An open kitchen adds a joyful note, in echo of the chef’s buzzy personality. The menu features a lineup of international dishes prepared with premium big-boned ingredients. How about slices of raw scallops paired with morcilla (Italian black pudding) and a creme of Jerusalem artichoke? Or crunchy wontons filled with chopped turkey and an expertly crafted sweet-sour seasoning? Pure unadulterated pleasure, a relaxed, feel-good atmosphere and a fine range o

Onslow, a buzzy landmark in the peaceful Sint Anna district, is depicted by casual dining, a vintage vibe and a terrace that oozes Mediterranean charm. The concise culinary lineup of regularly renewed, playful dishes is designed to share and to entice you to try out new combinations. Lieven Vynck works with familiar ingredients, to which he adds an international spin. An example: succulent, meaty, melt-in-the-mouth mussels in a spicy tom ka khai sauce or a tribute to Italian flair with cacio e pepe pasta. A festival of flavour awaits you at Onslow: “Food with Drinks, Drinks with Food” is their

Thibault and Jade’s establishment is a treasure trove of culinary delights. In their tastefully appointed HQ, kick off with wholesome starters like pâté en croûte or marbled ham, before continuing with flawlessly fresh brill paired with a tangy nantaise sauce and briny clams, unless you wouldn’t prefer pheasant à la brabançonne. The veteran chef, a true disciple of text-book Gallic fare, nonetheless enjoys adding the odd international twist. Big-boned flavours, hearty helpings, culinary proficiency. A seat at the counter is highly recommended as are bookings. They also offer a take-away cateri

Filip Claeys is mad about fish. The grandson of a fisherman, he founded NorthSeaChefs, which endeavours to encourage consumers to eat lesser known and accidentally caught fish. Equally at home with red meat and top-drawer ingredients like langoustine, he loves wowing diners with dogfish. The menu always indicates the origin of the boats that supply the fish. Claeys’ style is inventive and unconventional, as delicate sauces and vinaigrettes showcase his classical training, whilst allowing his personality to shine through as he adapts to today’s trends. For example, he crafts flawlessly fresh No
