We ate dinner at this beautifully appointed restaurant during our visit to Bruges. The restaurant is in the basement of an historical building with original brick arches and stone floors. The food is excellent and the presentation is lovely. The husband and wife team who own Bocarme are warm and welcoming. It was a pleasure to eat at this restaurant.

We visited this delightful restaurant during a weekend break in Bruges and although it is only a short distance from the markt, you could easily miss its basement location. We chose from the main menu and, after a lovely appetiser, we both enjoyed the queen scallops. For mains, I had the turbot which melted in the mouth,while my wife had...

We tried to ok this restaurant for my Grandma's birthday and were originally unsuccessful but due to a cancellation were able to get in. The friendly and attentive service, by an owner who you would be convinced has lived in England due to his fluency, was second to none. We went for the set menu which was faultless. Unlike restaurants...

This was the restaurant my husband and I went to on our last evening in Bruges, turns out we saved the best restaurant for last! The restaurant is located in an old cellar. It is very cosy and we loved how the tables were spaced out, you didn't have someone sitting right next to you. We received a very warm...

We booked this restaurant for our last evening in Bruges.
We arrived about an hour early but they had no problems at all seating us.
There are not a lot of tables and they are all very well spaced out, giving you a good amount of room and privacy.
The staff were very friendly and courteous, the food is cooked...

Even when Bruges is covered with snow, and the restaurant was surrounded by containers due to renovation works of the building, the restaurant is open. We have been here before and know that the quality is great. Patrick and his wife Nadine served us again a excellent meal! The wine was again a perfect match! Pitty that only a few...
