Artisanal pralines, works of art

Located in souvenir street (Katelijnestraat), this is one of the few, if not the only, original shop left in this buzzling tourist area. The pralines made here, in the back of the shop, are little works of art! Expensive, but worth the price. It's Elise who runs the shop, and chef Kristoff making these pralines in the back of the shop.

Greek Pita Wraps & Amazing Fries

No.1 on takeaway.com last year because the Bruges' locals love the Greek pita wraps. We love those, but the Belgian fries, cut on the spot, fried in olive oil, with the peel still on, are amazing here!

The atmosphere, almost as if you're stepping into the roaring 20's - with a chilled out playlist instead of lindy hop though - that Dieter & Shanna have created here is blissful. Great cocktails, classics and surprises alike, friendly staff, low and high seats make this a (hidden) gem worth visiting.

FAQ

What does it mean? A free tour?

It means that it's a Pay What You Want tour. At the end of the tour, you decide what the tour is worth to you and whether you want to reward the guide accordingly (and according to your budget). That way everyone can enjoy a tour.

Do the tours run when it rains?

Yes they do! If we were affraid of a little rain that half of the time we'd have to cancel our tours. Instead we adapt! With some light rain: we try to fix an umbrella for the participants that forgot their own, walk faster and relax once we've found shelter again. With heavy rain: we make sure everyone is properly dressed for bad weather or divert into buildings.
