Dog-Friendly Restaurants in Bruges

The oldest pub in Bruges, dating from 1515, hidden in the quiet Sint-Anna quarter five minutes north of the Markt. Wooden interior, stove, leaded windows, a courtyard garden in summer. Leashed dogs welcome inside year-round and on the back terrace; water bowls at the bar.

A legendary Belgian beer café with more than 300 references on the list, two minutes south-west of the Markt. Tiny wooden room, candle-lit at night, leashed dogs welcome inside without question. The owner keeps a bowl behind the bar and a stack of dog biscuits.

A two-storey beer bar hidden in the narrowest alley in Bruges, between Breidelstraat and the Burg. Famous for the house Tripel Van De Garre at 11%, served with cheese cubes. Leashed dogs accepted on the ground floor and on the alley benches in summer.

Geert Van Hecke's casual bistro annex to his Michelin-starred De Karmeliet, modern Flemish cuisine at a fraction of the price. Leashed well-behaved dogs accepted in the front room near the bar; book ahead.

A bohemian café-restaurant attached to the Lumière arthouse cinema, large vaulted room, leafy summer courtyard, vegetarian-friendly menu. Leashed dogs welcome inside and in the courtyard; one of the most reliably dog-friendly all-day venues in Bruges.
