We ordered espresso and tea, which came with a miniature sized dessert that was very good. We were too hungry and didn't take pics of the food. Hubby ordered the Croque monsieur, which he said was very good. Kids ordered the Belgium waffle with strawberries. The waffle was nicely crispy, and still light and airy. Kids ate it all. I had the warm goat cheese and bacon salad. It was very good. Sweetness of the corn balanced out the creaminess of the cheese and the saltiness of the bacon. Desserts looked amazing, I wanted to try them all. My son decided to choose the fruit tart to share and it was delicious. Lots of fruits and with creamy center and crunchy shortbread crust.

We walked over and into a cornucopia of pastries. I had never seen a display like this before. I told them that we do nit have a reservation and wold like to have a light breakfast, after a 30 second wait they brought us to a lovely table in the back. A truly delightful setting. We ordered light as I do not enjoy 'bulking up' in the morning when I know that I will be doing a lot of walking and exploring. A pastry each and some coffee was our meal. I was a little disappointed that I didn't order more after seeing some of the breakfasts they were serving. Everything just looked so good. Our waitress was lovely and took very good care of us despite us having a very small breakfast. She was extremely appreciative of the tip we left. This place is a definite stop if when we return to Bruges and we will return to Bruges. KUDOs to the team at Carpe Diem.

They provided us a table where we can have a stroller right next to us. The food was solid. I got the steak, which was cooked perfectly but the sauce was just okay.

Oh my word. I love this place. Love. There are few spots in the world that feel like the portal to…read moredessert heaven, but this is one of them. On a trip that included many many memorable restaurant stops, Sorbetiere was one of the best, if not the best. The food was spectacular, the ambiance was wonderful, and the service was attentive. I don't even really remember what I ate, but it doesn't matter, since I was in a heavenly daze the entire time. I do have very clear memories of the coffee and dessert though. You could order a dessert sampler with coffee, so we went for that. The sampler was a feast for the eyes as well as the palate. And the cappuccino was heavenly, light and frothy with a rich deep coffee taste. Add to that the fact that they serve your coffee with a selection of gorgeous sugar cubes (three different types of sugar all in different shapes), and I can't give Sorbetiere enough stars. Can I give it 10 stars, Yelp?

Their waffles are lovely, as you can see by the pictures. Strawberries and Creme Chantilly on top. I love how they serve tea in Belgium. They give you a glass of hot water, with many options of tea bags to allow you to make it as strong or weak as you like. It looks very modern in here, and they make great coffee. Come in. Sit down. Relax. :) Hugh

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.

My son loved his beef stew and applesauce. My husband loved his salmon and I absolutely loved my salad! The tomatoes tasted like they were right out of a garden!!
