Ambiente un pò freddo, ottima selezione in bottiglia (anche italiane) con un pò di chicche alla spina. Cibo ottimo ma caro...

Nice, modern decor. Was pretty empty when I visited. The server was hilarious. He refused to let me order unless I asked for the "beer bible", as opposed to the beer list. The selection was pretty good, but not the best I found in Bruges. Food was pretty good, and filling, but still expensive (though this seems to be par for the area). Good place.

the atmosphere of this place is sparse modern decor. fairly plain inside with the exception of the bottles of beer displayed on shelves built into the walls. all the beers we had were in good condition and served in wine glasses. the service was inattentive, but average for brugge/western europe. 16 on tap i believe, which were a little more rare, and maybe like ~200 bottles with plenty of good ones. we sampled some appetizers while we were there and though a little expensive, were good. a good place to check out if you are spending a few days in brugge, but there are some other places that should be higher on your list of ’must visits.’

I had heard great things about this place from other RBers, plus given the chance to drink a retired De Dolle beer gave me all the impetus I needed to visit. Attached to the hotel is this small, seemingly upscale restaurant/bar. If you spend time in Belgium and leave room for one fancy dinner to go with your beer, this is the place to go. We ordered off the Marvin Gaye prix fixe menu, and man was it worth it. Had some pate to start followed by rabbit saddle, and finished with delicious ice cream. Oh right...the beer. Well, the selection here is very good, and we were fortunate enough to be there when the Liefman’s Ongezoet op Vat was on tap. We got to try the De Dolle 21 as well. Our waiter was incredibly funny and nice, so our experience was just wonderful here.

Open quite late on a Monday night last March, there were only a few patrons when we arrived. Quiet classical music was playing in this modernized setting, with hundreds of bottles on display in the high ceilings; opera music later graced the setting. We overheard what sounded like another RB’ian giving pointers on the beers his group was trying, but they seemed like his family so we didn’t interrupt. Didn’t try the food but Fantastic beers abound here: De Dolle, Struise, both lovely, plus Oud Beersel, De Ranke, Drie Fontanen and Boon -- so pretty much a selection of delicious Belgian beers. Service left us alone, mostly, but later got chatty when we were leaving and asking questions.

I not only visited Erasmus for dinner and drinks one night while in Brugge but my wife and I also stayed at the hotel. The restaurant is trendy looking inside and not very large but is welcoming. The draft selection was about 16 or so when we visited and included a good amount of Christmas beers. Over the course of a night of dinner we had several drafts and bottles including Verhaeghe Christmas on draft and Winterkoninkske as well. I was lucky enough to find they still had bottles of De Dolle 21 which was made for their 21st anniversary so the bottle was about 9 years old when I tried it and it was very pleasing. The bottle selection is about 200 or more deep and many of them are on display in the walls of the restaurant. The food is excellent as well. I had a Flemish Grandmothers stew and frites that was great and my wife enoyed her food as well. The owner of Erasmus is very nice and the bartenders are helpful in making selections with drafts and bottles. They often have rare treats in bottle and on draft so Erasmus is definitely one of the top places when you visit Brugge.

A very nice place. I hogt here just as they opened in the morning so there only me and two more customers there (one of which turned out to be Tom from Monk’s Cafe in Philadelphia). Had Black Albert, Pannepot Grand Reserva and Struiselenesis. Outside of that the beer list is decent but there arent a lot of hard-to-find stuff. Didn’t eat.

Stopped in here last November for Black Albert on tap. Cool place in the heart of Brugge. Modern decor and good crowd. The wait staff was very helpful and friendly...they even took us down to the cellar for a look around. Picked up some nice gems there. Tap and bottle list were great.
