Den Dyver

Top choice in Bruges


Den Dyver is a pioneer of fine beer dining where you match the brew you drink with the one the chef used to create the sauce on your plate. This is no pub: beers come in wine glasses served on starched tablecloths in an atmosphere of Burgundian grandeur. The lunch menu includes amuse-bouche, nibbles and coffee.
