Had a nice time here!…read more We had a large party but service had no trouble keeping up. I was expecting the place to be dead or understaffed since it was the end of the year, but it was fairly busy! A good place to come in and warm your bones. The only gripes I had with the place were that they allow in dogs (not a problem in and of itself, but not all dogs are good at keeping to themselves and there was quite a fuss) and also for some reason coffee = hot coffee flavored milk? Could just be a Dutch thing, but for travelers hoping to enjoy the end of their meal with a cup of black coffee, beware!

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.

In fact, the waitstaff was efficient but friendly as could be and we had multiple people assisting our table.

If you do not want to spend 2 hours on lunch then you better choose some other place. Price is above average.
