We stoped here for. Real fast on our day trip to Bruges. We ordered waffles thinking it would be the infamous Belgian waffle and thus were very disappointed with the airy and flavorless square waffle we received. The fresh strawberries on top were good, but the patio was by far the best part. read more

They were very very busy even though it was raining - but we still were sat immediately. The view was fantastic of the square, we got beers as well as the rabbit and the beef stew. Flavors were great (rabbit a little gamey for me but my husband and 1 year old loved it) and it was nice outside even though raining, would def return here read more

On a beautiful chilly day in Brugges, we stopped at a restaurant for a late breakfast (11am). We have stopped here before. We asked to be seated. The host told us seat ourselves. We did. One menu was brought for our table. Relatively soon, he came for our drink order. Drinks came back in a reasonable amount of time. Several other tables sat around us. Drinks and food were brought to them. After about 25 min of waiting (on an irritating note their WiFi was down), a lady smoking a cigarette sat next to us. Her coffee and sandwich was brought out in less than 3 minutes. When I stood up to pay for my drinks and said we were leaving bc we never got our food order taken, he said McDonalds is around the corner. Wow. Went next door to HDMRooms. Better service. Nicer server. Great food. Working WiFi. read more

We were in Brugge on a Monday the first part of February and looking for a nice lunch. We were in the square and I am alway wary of restaurant that are in heavy tourist areas like the square but this has good review so we gave it a try and we were glad we did. The ambiance was very cool and the food was fabulous. We had the stew, the scampi, and the salmon toast.. everything was really good. The service was really great we got a chance to talk to him but we did catch them on a slower day. They can have 100 people inside and 100 outside with 3-4 servers. So if itts a bit busy it worth the wait read more

We stopped here for our first meal in Bruges and it did not disappoint. Cozy, covered porch. Lovely view. I ordered the Garlic mussels and frites. My husband ordered the croque monsiour (a fancier grilled ham and cheese). The mussels were outstanding and plentiful! (I had to share with my husband!) I would say my only small compliant would be that it's a tad bit pricier since it's right in the markt, which was honestly expected. Other than that, lovey! read more

Five Well Deserved Stars. Visited Brugge for the day with no set itinerary. Knew we wanted to eat at a restaurant within the square but didn't know which one. We decided to come here to Craenenburg because of the view of the plaza. We had two waiters that helps us throughout our meal, and both did a fantastic job. Way to go guys. The food was also very good, if you're looking for a great meal and great service, this is the place to go! read more

The Craenenburg building is an historic structure dating to the 1300s named after it's inhabitants. A viewing post for the medieval knights back then, a social club starting in the 1900s and now it holds a cafe/eatery. The construction is a mix of old and new now. If you go to the restroom, it maybe some of the steepest stairs you'll traverse to go wash your hands, or do the business. In some cases as I came down I almost wanted to just jump down it's so steep. An interesting preservation of a a historic building with mixed use. read more

Craenenburg - Short history of the craenenburg on the place mat - Cafes Near Me - Bruges, VWV

Located at the Markt where you have lots of restaurants to choose from. For some reason we chose Craenenburg. We had a good view of the square as we sipped our hot chocolate and ate croissants. My favorite thing was the small piece of bread pudding that came with the hot chocolate. It was so good we asked the waiter (a young fella) if we can order more but he said it just comes with an order of coffee or hot chocolate (or something to that effect). We were pleasantly surprised when he came back with a small plate of those yummy pudding. Soooo good! I enjoyed them better than the bread or croissants. Make sure you try them when you're in Bruge! read more

It's a pretty looking spot, but food is average, and I have never met a more rude staff in my entire life. If this is your first time, do not go here. Our server asked us to go faster with our orders when we were literally the only customers at exactly the time they opened. No customer service whatsoever. read more

This place is outstanding. The service was terrific and the food....wow. My burger was cooked to perfection and I only ordered it because it was made from ribeye. It did not disappoint. The Flemish Steve was rich and hearty and something to have again. The mussels were great as well. If you're in Bruges this is a must visit for dinner. read more

This is a traditional Flemish cafe. I had a simple ham and cheese baguette that was extremely delicious! Great location for people watching!! History lesson: It was here that Habsburg ruler Maximilian of Austria was imprisoned by the rebelling burghers of Brugge in 1488. read more
