- We visited Delaney's just last night, Feb 13th, and it's a lovely bar with a warm and pleasant ambience. And delicious food! I ordered the chicken burger and quite honestly it was the best I've ever had! My partner was also mightily impressed with her Irish burger. Would definitely come here again!!.- Peter Bradley
- Celebrated New Year in Brugge over 4 days with my partner and found Delaney’s by accident! We saw the New Year in there and celebrated it twice (as Brugge is an hour ahead). We loved it so much we went back twice more before flying home. The staff are so friendly, happy and knowledgable. My partner is from Irish decent so loved it! The food amounts are plenty and taste wonderful! Will be going back to Brugge and Delaney’s hopefully in June/July for the music concerts - on the recommendation from one of the staff....see you all then for more Guinness and great atmosphere!.- Sandra Sunshine Watts

Frequently Asked Questions

- We will always do our best to find space for you in the restaurant and it is usually no problem, but it’s generally a good idea to reserve a day in advance on a Friday and Saturday.

- We already offer a range of vegetarian and vegan dishes. For any special dietary requirements, we encourage you to call us before arrival, so that we can let you know what's possible.
- Can we turn up most evenings and expect to be seated?
- We welcome you to turn up at the door and we will do everything we can to seat you, but be aware that the restaurant can be very busy on a Friday and Saturday, so we cannot always guarantee you will get a table straight away.
