I have eaten here a number of times on various visits. The bar is busy and atmospheric. The staff friendly and efficient. They serve 400 different beers apparently. I have tired various of them, fruit beer doesn't do it for me so I just stick with the Leffe Blonde. Meals are substantial, the flemish stew is excellent and is served... More

My partner and I live half of the year in Europe and while here love to travel and EAT! We are self confessed foodies and a bad meal can nearly ruin our day. Well that was definitely not going to happen at Bierbrasserie Cambrinus! We would have returned to eat here again but only found this restaurant / bar on... More

In a city full of overpriced mediocre restaurants Cambrinus was a wonderful find! It was also a comfortable place for a woman traveling alone to eat, with welcoming and accommodating staff, who seemed to take special care of me. I visited on a Friday night; it was packed, and without a reservation (recommended) I wasn’t able to obtain a table,... More

A great little bistro with very efficient staff. Myself and my wife took our kids here for lunch, both myself and my wife had a lovely beef stew, that was stewed with beer. IT was delicious. We shared a beer tasting set with four different beers showing Belgium beer styles also wonderful. A great bistro for a quick lunch. More

We ate here once during a recent stay in Bruges and had hoped to return a second time, but sadly they were fully booked. The food was excellent and the portions large. We had three courses each, which included croquettes,duck, rabbit, beef stew and a combination of desserts and everything was fresh and very tasty. We also sampled some of... More

We went here for lunch 2 days in a row. It's a 5 minute walk from the main square and prices are reasonable. Lots of tourists, and while many restaurants might lower the quality the food was still good. It was cold, and the soup was just what the doctor ordered. More

We went in with 2 children and booking a table is recommended. Service very prompt and friendly. Kind of pub/bistro, lively, chatty atmosphere, mainly tourists, good location. We had the flemish stew on both visits and a starter of onion soup. The stew was very tasty and came with a large bowl of frites to share. Beer we took on... More

On our first night in Bruges we came here at the recommendation of our B&B. We were on the early side of dinner (19:00) and got a table right away. We ordered beer with recommendations from our waitress and were very pleased. We had the onion soup first, which was delicious! It's different from a French onion soup- better. We... More

Very busy and the beer menu is so long it takes ages to choose. Beer is very good, though, and food portions large and tasty. More
