    I am going to Bruges for my honeymoon in December and I am looking for some restaurant suggestions. We will only be there for a couple of nights. Beer will definitely not be the priority of this trip, but I would love to get some recommendations for a couple of nice restaurant that also happens to have a good lambic and gueze selection. I am thinking Cambrinus is a stop we will try and make. Any bottle shop suggestions would also be great, but as I said beer is not a focal point for this trip. We are also going to Amsterdam and Paris if anyone has any other recommendations that would be wonderful.

    Thanks again.

    Cambrinus is very good food in my opinion and just happens to have a huge beer list

    Not sure of the food, but Rose Red is a definite go to for lambics and gueuze.
    De Stove is a great little place.

    I ate at the Park restaurant in Brugge last month, they have a good 40 euro 3 course offering. I don't remember seeing any lambic but they did have leffe and duval. It's worth a visit

    Hit up In De Wildeman while in Amsterdam , great beer selection. If you are there on Tuesday a guy comes around and sells smoked eel.

    I ate there last month too, they have great food. Make sure you get a reservation first.

    Later that day a trip to Academie De La Biere would be good,
