2 Best Restaurants in Damme, Bruges and the Coast

Commanding a fabulous location right on the main square, this charming restaurant occupies a lovely white-painted old house, and boasts interior furnishings, including a large chandelier and plentiful oak beams, that create an atmosphere of timelessness. The food lives up to the decor, with beautifully presented French-Belgian dishes that are not afraid to bring in influences from Asia and elsewhere.

This place close to the main square is so unassuming from the outside that, were it not for the simple front terrace, you might think it was simply someone's home, but step through the front door and on the inside you'll find a welcoming and cozy modern bistro. The menu is not long, but usually features well-presented takes on Belgian classics such as paling (eel) and vispannetje (fish stew).
