While 2 stories, it can't seat but perhaps 35 when packed. We arrived as they had just opened so could just walk in but reservations are definitely recommended otherwise. It's very intimate, warm and welcoming. The day we were there was cold and rainy so the fireplace was a definite plus. The owner speaks English very well, knows her wines, and makes you feel very welcome (the place is celebrating its 20th anniversary so they're clearly doing something right). They do live music on Sunday nights and play a great selection of jazz at a nice low level otherwise. They do a happy hour and in addition to what's on the menu, they have a rotating selection of good wines by the glass from around the world (had a fantastic Malbec). They have great tapas, soups and large shareable plates. We loved this wine bar gem in Bruges!

I've never seen a menu that was half an inch thick before, this was definitely a first for us! The…read moremenu includes food, drinks, and multiple languages, which explains its impressive size. With so many options, we were excited to explore what they had to offer. Today, we ordered the onion soup, shrimp and cheese croquettes with salad, rabbit with potato croquettes, and the beef stew with fries. Both entrees also came with apple sauce, which was an interesting and surprisingly good pairing. The ambiance is warm, cozy, and inviting, and the service was great. The portions were generous, and most of the dishes we tried were delicious. The beef stew was the highlight of the meal. The meat was incredibly tender and packed with flavor. Eating it with the apple sauce created a nice balance and kept the dish from feeling too heavy. The rabbit was also very tender, it looked similar to a chicken thigh and drumstick, although you can definitely tell the bone structure is different. The apple sauce paired nicely with the rabbit and added a great contrast to the flavor. The shrimp croquettes were tasty, but the cheese flavor was not my favorite. The onion soup was also very different from the traditional versions we're used to. It had a strong, unusual flavor that felt a little harsh and even gave a slight burning sensation in the throat, so it wasn't my favorite dish.

We'd planned to have dinner here but did not make a booking and really lucked out with the last table open when we came in. Please, ensure you make a booking if you want to dine here. I had no idea how consistently full they'd be and felt grateful the entire time to have snagged a spot. When I tell you my fish stew has to be one of the top 5 things I've ever eaten in life, I am not kidding. It was so spectacular. I had no idea what to order and asked for a recommendation and this was it. This soup blew my mind, spoonful after spoonful it was the yummiest, most delish, comfort meal I've had in a long time. We had a very and tasty experience. Highly recommend.

He spoke perfect English. I had the beef stew which came with the ubiquitous fries and a side salad. I have to say that the stew was not nearly as good as a review for another restaurant from two nights previous. The beef was chewy and a bit tough, as though it hadn't marinated long enough. And the stew itself lacked a full bodied flavor. The fries and salad were both exceplenty. Our dining companions had mussels and we tried some. They were succulent and delicious. This was accommodated by a delicious dark beer, Effective. We ended with a dessert of vanilla ice cream, avocat and whipped cream. Delightful. One of dining partners had a waffle with cream. We got to try one and it was delicious. Portions are substantial and they'll bring as many fries as you want.

It didn't seem that busy at the time, so we were seated right away. I guess there's no host to check you in. You just wait until a server sees you. I seated outside, so only went to inside to go to the bathroom. Steps are very steep going to the bathroom (like most places in Brugge), so be careful. My daughter slipped on a few steps. They have a lot of outdoor seating as opposed to eating inside though. We ordered the beef tare tare. I thought it was pretty good, nicely seasoned and came with creamy froie gras. Hubby and kids ordered the steak for 2. It was a bit overcooked as we ordered the medium rare. I took a bite and it was ok. I thought pretty pricey for what it was, but enough for hubby and kids. Came with large fries and a salad. Hubby had beer and I had tea. It was just Lipton tea and hot water. Staff was not really attentive at all. They must have knew people from a few other tables as they hugged and greeted each other and stayed there to make conversations.

Through faithful Yelp, we found this establishment which claimed to be the oldest in the world. It's in a beautiful location down a cobblestoned street near the canals. Plenty of parking.

I couldn't stop eating the bread they brought to the table. Everything was absolutely delicious in a cozy, magical environment.

The restaurant itself is in the Clubhouse of the Watersportvereniging Arne, upstairs, and is decorated with nautical and local memorabilia. The staff have obviously read the '' you don't have to be mad to work here ''and taken it to heart! Friendliest crew I've come across in ages. It's also known as ''Den baas en zijn madam'' (the boss and his wife). The menu is in Dutch and English, the Dutch menu is the better value. 14 garlic prawns in Dutch, 10 in English, but when I joked with our waiter about 25 came on the plate! Yahoo!! Beautiful steak for herself, great lamb cutlets for me, veg and frites in abundance. No room for puds. EUR2.70 for Duvel. It's a real reason to visit Middleburg.
