Exploring Bruges: A Culinary Journey through its Best Eats (Street Food Edition)

Bruges, also known as Brugge, is a charming city nestled in the heart of Belgium, famed for its picturesque canals, medieval architecture, and delectable cuisine. While its many restaurants offer a gastronomic adventure, we’ll be focusing on the vibrant street food scene that adds to the city’s enchanting atmosphere.

  1. Frituur Max (Wijngaardstraat 26)

    No street food tour of Bruges is complete without a visit to a local frituur, serving up the country’s beloved dish - Belgian fries! Frituur Max, one of the most popular spots, offers hot, crispy fries drenched in a choice of classic sauces like mayonnaise or samurai sauce.

  2. Ghentse Handschoen (Zwijstraat 9)

    This traditional snack bar serves up another Belgian favorite - the Ghentse Handschoen (Ghent’s Gloves). A deep-fried dough pocket filled with a choice of cheese, sausage, or meatballs, it’s a tasty treat you won’t want to miss!

  3. The Waffle House (Dijver 9)

    No street food list for Bruges would be complete without mentioning the waffles! The Waffle House, located in the heart of the city, serves up delicious Liege waffles, a denser and chewier version than the traditional Brussels waffle. Toppings range from Nutella to fresh fruit and whipped cream.

  4. Staminee De Garre (Gasthuisstraat 3)

    Although not strictly street food, this cozy tavern located in a medieval cellar is worth mentioning for its fantastic selection of Belgian beers and small plates, including the classic Bruges cheese specialty, La Trappiste de Westmalle.

  5. The Chocolate Shop (Huidenvettersplein 3)

    Last but certainly not least, a stop at The Chocolate Shop for some authentic Belgian chocolate is a must! With numerous locations throughout the city, you’ll find an array of chocolates in all shapes, sizes, and flavors.

Remember to savor each bite as you wander through Bruges’ cobblestone streets, taking in the beauty of the city while enjoying its delicious street food offerings. Enjoy your culinary journey! 🍔🥄🧀🍁🍦🎉
