Traditional Sweet Dishes
Belgian waffles
Bruges waffles are often served hot with pearl sugar that caramelizes on the griddle, giving each bite a crackling sweetness and a uniquely crisp texture.
Chocolate
Bruges is famed for artisan chocolatiers who still handcraft pralines, and you can watch chocolate sculptures being made in shop windows that look like edible art.
Speculoos
Speculoos is a spiced shortbread traditionally baked for St. Nicholas, its caramelized brown sugar and warm spices make it the perfect cookie to dunk in coffee.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Moules-frites
Belgians claim moules-frites as their national dish, and in Bruges you can try mussels steamed in beer with a side of perfectly crisp fries.
Stoofvlees (Flemish beef stew)
Stoofvlees is a slow-cooked Flemish beef stew made with dark beer and mustard. The beer breaks down the meat until it becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender.
Belgian fries
Belgian fries are traditionally fried twice for a golden, crunchy exterior and a fluffy interior, and you will often eat them from a paper cone with a dollop of mayo.
Traditional Beverages
Belgian beer
Belgian beer culture includes hundreds of styles and distinctive glassware, many breweries trace recipes back centuries and monks still brew some of the most sought-after Trappist ales.
Jenever
Jenever is the juniper-flavored spirit that predates gin, in Bruges locals sometimes drink it neat then follow it with a small beer as a ritual called a kopstoot.
Hot chocolate
Hot chocolate in Bruges is often closer to melted chocolate than to cocoa, rich and thick enough to be eaten with a spoon and enjoyed in cosy cafés alongside a fresh waffle.

Cobblestone canals felt like a postcard, chocolate shops on every corner, but expect crowds by midday. Two nights was perfect for us.
Charming little city, amazing beer and waffles. It rained for a day so bring a light jacket. Three full days let you wander without rushing.
Buy the Bruges City Card online to bundle museums and the canal boat, saves money and skips some queues. Hit sites right at opening for fewer people.
Skip dining on Markt, walk two blocks into the side streets for better food and prices. Get bus tickets with the De Lijn app or station machines, not on board.
A bit overhyped honestly, restaurants by the main square are pricey and bland. Loved wandering quiet canals at dawn though, mixed feelings.
