Famous for the Wipers Times there is aptly a beer named after it which is well worth trying. The fresh bread, cheese and ham with pate is a really good not too heavy but plenty big enough lunch.

The owner/server sat us outside and was very graciously about our embarrassing lack of French and explained the menu to us in English. The pork cheeks and fish and chips we had were dynamite! Both dishes were well seasoned and flavorful; the fish and chips in particular had the best texture - flaky and crispy but tender. Dessert was a pot de creme (I think) and it was absolutely delicious! Fork battles were fought for the last bite. Do try this tiny little establishment, it's a gem.

We were very fortunate to receive a nice tasting from the brewer's daughter - Le Petite Princesses - which is a 2.9% saison collaboration with Jester King - very refreshing, and amber ale and a biere de Garde which was excellent. The tasting room decor and ambiance is superb (see photos). The brewer, Daniel, started his brewery 20 years ago and had been home brewing since he was a teenager. He's done an excellent job and continues to expand.

Simply a perfect meal…read more Brasserie Raymond is like the best of Parisian Brasseries, yet more welcoming and comfortable. The service is impeccable; friendly, professional, speedy yet never rushed. The food is fantastic. When you sit down, you will be given some fresh bread in a little "Raymond" bag, rillette--a pork pâté--and some small olives to nibble on. We chose the Prix Fixe menus Raymond and Belge, but they have a full a la carte menu and most people seemed to do that. The starters of mushroom toast and shrimp croquettes started the parade of delicious dishes. The toast was crispy and buttery with perfect garlicky mushrooms on top. The croquettes were very crispy on the outside with a soft interior. Lovely. The toast came with a green salad. The main courses of Belgian Stew and Sole (Sliptongue) were perfectly cooked, with the fish sliding easily off the bones and the stew beef rich and tender. They came with frites (with homemade mayonnaise) and a salad, and dunking the fries in the stew was an added delight. Dessert--though we were getting quite full at this point--was a lovely crème brûlée, with perfect crispy sugar on top and soft rich custard below. Wow. We also had ice cream in a dark chocolate sauce with some small crisp bits on top (sweetened puffed rice?). It was also amazing. We wish we were in Bruges longer so we could go back. Next time we certainly will.
