If you want the true Brugge Brasserie experience you should look no further than Gauthiers. Forget the overplayed tourist Mecca of the squares and alike and delight yourselves in the generosity of spirit that oozes from mine hosts Gauthier and his wife at this fantastic little Brasserie just on the outskirts of Brugge. Fabulous food, beer, wine and coffee served with a huge smile and the care of two people who love their town and their life serving the best Brugge has to offer. Do yourselves a favour and endulge your passion for Belgian hospitality at it's finest!...
