Excellent food, simple to order - no menus, just small, medium or large. Medium is a good lunch size. Found the door open and wondered in and found a table, the bell ringing to let yourself in might have thrown me though, being a shy person, but if you're a fellow timid traveller, it wasn't as scary as the guidebooks...

We've been to Brugge many times and walked past this restaurant on several occasions only to find it closed. On our recent visit we were lucky to find it open. I'm not vegetarian but my partner is. Basically you choose the size of plate you want and wait for your food to be delivered. You don't know what you're going... More

We visited De Bron during a short break to Bruges after spotting it right opposite our hotel (The Ibis). It is a popular, busy little cafe mostly frequented by locals so is great if you like escaping the crowds and going to more 'real' places. There is just one dish per day and you get to pick the size of... More

We ate at De Bron on our last day in Bruges. A really lovely restaurant, open for the lunchtime period during the week. The concept is simple yet effective - one main dish is served daily, and you select which sized plate you want. There is also a selection of desserts, although I cannot comment on these as we were...

This place is fantastic. We had lunches there on successive days during a four-day break, having been blown away by what we found behind the initially perplexing locked front door (you have to press the bell to let yourself in). Inside it's brightly decorated and fitted out with the rear half of the long restaurant room an atrium which bathes... More

What is a nice and friendly place! The food was excellent and the service was so nice that it was almost like being at home. I hope the owners agree to open their restaurant for longer hours (it is only open for Lunch). More

We stumbled upon this place and the food is exquisite. They give you the size you want platter with all this wonderful food and it is so clean tasting, delicious and wholesome. Great fresh juices. Someone said it was the "best food in Bruges", and I am inclined to agree. Maybe the best food in Belgium. This is a don't... More

De Bron is a small resturant in Bruges that serves vegetarian food. In fact it is more like a canteen than a restaurant. It seems like they have converted a house into a restaurant. It has two dining areas - main and the conservatory. The interiors are decorated well in a combination of green and white - simple and elegant.... More

We really enjoyed our lunch here, loved the concept of one meal just different sizes, and my husband as a lacto-vegetarian was pleased to know he could eat everything rather than scrabbling around for non meat and fish options like nearly everywhere else in Bruges.. Was also just down the road from the Beijinhof and Minnewater so we could have... More

We found this place having read reviews on here. Yes, it only opens at lunchtimes, yes, it's very reasonably priced (we paid around 28 euro for 2 medium sized platters, delicious juices & 2 very good coffees). All choices vegetarian. There was soup, 4 sizes of main course platter - which was a rather zany melange of hot & cold... More
