De Jonkman
Sint-Kruis, Bruges, Belgium

De Jonkman is worth the journey beyond the historic centre for Filip Claeys’ inventive approach to North Sea fish. Lesser-known species and careful sourcing shape the kitchen’s work, alongside seasonal produce from local farmers. The cooking combines technical precision with a clear sense of place, making this an occasion to plan around rather than a spontaneous stop. Reserve well ahead, allow time for the meal and arrange transport to the Sint-Kruis address.
