De Belegde Boterham

Bruges


Duck the tourist crowds at this popular lunch spot for well-heeled locals. The monochrome boutique styling is a bit formal, but it’s a friendly place and the food – soups, sandwiches and large salads – is excellent, with fresh ingredients and tasty dressings. Good coffee, too.
