Along with the daily special we ordered filet mignon with fries and salad, as well as shrimp croquettes. Unfortunately we were given the incorrect cut of beef and it was quite overcooked. The accompanying sauce and salad were flavorful. Fries and house-made mayo were good. Shrimp appetizer was tasty. Service was just ok. Restrooms were downstairs and not accessible for one person at our table. There are better options for dinner in my opinion. Oh, and their hours of operation on Apple Maps, Google Maps and Yelp are incorrect. We dined on a Monday evening when all indicated they were closed.

We were visiting Bruges and staying at Hotel Aragon, and this restaurant came highly recommended on…read morethe hotel's list. It checked all the boxes I was looking for - local Belgian cuisine, affordable, close by, and open late. Exactly what you want after a long day of drinking Belgian beers. I didn't realize ribs were such a big deal in Belgium, so I was genuinely excited when I ordered them... only to feel deep disappointment when the server returned to let me know they had just sold out. Luckily, I pivoted to the vol-au-vent and had absolutely no regrets. The chicken was moist and creamy, and the pastry was incredibly flaky and light. Naturally, I paired it with a Trappist ale, which felt mandatory. Cozy, satisfying, and quintessentially Belgian--this spot lived up to the recommendation and then some.

It's certainly a charming little place, and on a slightly drizzly day it was a very pleasant place to be in from the cold and rain. The Mosselen Natuur (plain steamed mussels) were big, meaty, well-cleaned, and tasty, but if you're not a shellfish fan, the Stoofpotje van Varkenswangetjes (pork cheek stew) is a great choice. Extremely tender pork cheek with minimal excess fat, and a lot of it, with a delicious red wine sauce plus much better fries than we'd had earlier on the main square made my night. I'd say that this was the best meal I had in our trip to Belgium, definitely one I'd repeat if we visit Bruges again!

Dinner on the second night of our Brugge weekend getaway found us at De Bühne…read more Small & quaint dining room with the loveliest person helping us through our evening. You'll want to make reservations here as they were fully booked for the evening & were turning people away Started with the nicest Belgian beers - I had a white & the Mr had another light version of beer that was definitely not light in flavor - these were fabulous Amuse consisted of a nice homemade cheddar biscuit - rosemary & herbs plus a nice pungent cheese - so good! Starters included: Curry Empanadas with broccoli & cheese plus, beet, & potato tempura - this tart was amazing! The flavor was complex and savory and had just a hint of spice / heat to it. Wished we had had about 8 more of these.... Mushrooms & polenta w nut crumble on top - lovely terrine of tender mushrooms & the creamy polenta layer underneath gave the dish a nice texture Main course consisted of the Celery Biscuit - almost like a tart w carrot and potato, 3 different filled (stuffed) vegetables as tomato, broccoli, eggplant Passion Fruit Tart & Pear Tart for dessert & the passion fruit was a mousse-like creamy dessert while the pear tart was like a delicious crumble. We liked them both While there, the table near us had also ordered the empanadas and the lady stated she did not care for cheese. The chef replaced the cheese w/ a bechamel for her so this was further evidence that all dishes were prepared as ordered & everything was fresh, well cooked & very much admired by us! Huge fans!!

Totally exquisite experience. Every aspect of the evening…read more A very intimate setting with first class service. By first class, I mean tremendous attention to detail in every aspect of both service and food. It felt like I was a guest in their home. You'll know what I mean after you visit. As mentioned in an earlier review, they have been in business 20 years. They being husband and wife. We never saw him, but my wife spotted a man in the kitchen and asked her. They make everything on the menu themselves - right down to the table bread. The food was absolutely superb and the presentation was exceptional. We had made a reservation because I learned about the place on Yelp and knew it was small. On the day we visited, it was quiet with only three tables (another cool aspect about a quiet highly differentiated evening) and the one of the couples we spoke with also heard about this place on Yelp. When we asked the owner, she said she didn't really know anything about Yelp until recently when they sent her some mail. This was a fantastic dinner and evening. I would love to come back soon!

We dropped in on a Saturday evening (around 6:15pm) and got lucky calling for reservations the day of. Highly recommend making reservations as we saw the staff reject multiple walk-ins. The service was respectable but sadly, there's no tap water available. The menu consists of starters, fish, meat and a "tourist menu" (aka. three course set menu). - Gueuze (€4,00) - a quaffable, enjoyable lambic beer. Got a hint of a fruity note (apparently grapefruit). - Brugs tarwe (wheat beer) (€4,00) - Flemish beef stew (€18,50) - our buddy enjoyed this dish. - 3x Tourist menu (€18,50) - this is the best bang for your buck as you get a soup of the day (tomato), meat with fries and salad (option of steak, half a chicken, pork chop or salmon) and dessert (vanilla ice cream, sorbet (ask if you're lactose intolerant) or profiteroles). We went with the steak, pork chop and salmon. Oddly, they didn't ask for our steak preference. It was cooked medium and was slightly overcooked. Pork chop was worse; dry and bland. Our friend liked her salmon. Fries were standard fare. Salad was overdressed and you barely get a handful. The best thing was the tomato soup which had good depth and came with bread. The vanilla ice cream wasn't memorable but the profiteroles with chocolate sauce were better. Nothing that will blow you away but okay. One of the cheaper table d'hotes we found but the food was hit and miss. Would I come back? I don't think so.
