My family got the Filet Mignon and they all liked theirs and they were cooked to order. I got the Kangaroo steak (see photo). Everything was tasty. The Kangaroo is likely a dish I wouldn't get again as it just wasn't my thing. Perhaps it was just the sauce/gravy and the Kangaroo was good. I'm not sure. Service was a little slow and the restaurant wasn't that busy. I just don't think they were in a rush for anything. This is not necessarily a bad thing, just an observation.

We jokingly told them we wanted somewhere warm to sit, and the server sat us right under a heater. It was divine. We warmed up, had some beer, both ordered the risotto, which I wouldn't say was a risotto but was insanely good. It was a fun atmosphere, a cool spot, and perfect place to duck into. If we had had another night, it was our top place to visit again.

This restaurant hit all of the criteria and we had a great experience. The waiters were very friendly and helpful when we could not read the entire menu (all in Dutch).

We enjoyed sitting on the patio and enjoying the nice view of the town as well.

However do not let this deter you. They are highly efficient and have a system therefore the wait goes fast. Just be sure to be situationally aware. It's along a busy street where a lot of horse carriage rides transit, so don't hang out in the street. Also, be mindful to step aside once you place your order (probably to the left facing the order window, but do not block the walkway that allows the employees to deliver your order. They call out your number and it's hot and fresh. There was no room to sit on the steps/stoops so I stood and enjoyed my waffle. Personally, I feel like one Belgian waffle is sufficient to share between 2 people because it's rich and really sweet if you get the chocolate one. While I enjoyed it and the presentation was excellent, the waffle was very dense and really chewy. But I think that's how they are since it's made from yeast based dough. It's definitely worth the try, just too sweet and too chewy for my preference. Staff were very friendly and kind as well!!

My husband and I split the platter and holy moly there was a ton of fresh seafood! Highlights for…read moreme were the raw oysters and the warm shrimp. The seasoning on warm items was very flavorful. I skipped some of the cold items (snails, small shrimp) because they were either too hard to eat or I didn't like the taste. Surprisingly, the best thing we had was the lobster bisque. I don't think I'd get the platter again. The seafood was okay but I don't know that it was worth the price. The lobster we had had very little meat inside. Service was friendly but the restaurant was basically empty the whole time we were there. Hopefully it picked up once we left because this is a local spot a little off the beaten path of tourist restaurants.

She wanted to take us to Siphon which was famous for the dish but it was such an impossible place to get in without prior reservation. So for her birthday we decided to take her there as a surprise. The restaurant became such an institution that the well-to-do Flemish people would roll in well-dressed in their flashy cars, such as the Aston Martin in the parking lot. Siphon was located in Damme's village of Oostkerke, a very scenic drive through the rows of trees and near two canals that went to Holland, 15 minutes drive from Brugge. Siphon was a traditional Flemish restaurant but very fast paced to cater to the number of people that dined that every night. On the nice night people were dining on the outside patios but we had a table inside. As I was walking through the charming restaurant I was greeted by men in Naval white jackets looking like there were many captains on the ship. There was a full size built-in pit where the chef grilled the steaks on hot coals. Most tables were having the fried paling but I had to try the paling in green herb sauce. My bf's mom and me had the eel and my bf had the dover sole. The paling was simply served with fries. I never saw more people eating fries than in Belgium. The eel was fresh didn't taste too muddy, the herb sauce was interesting definitely an acquired taste I loved herbs so it was great! We had some cava to celebrate the birthday and the server was kind enough to fulfilled my request with a surprised birthday ice cream with a sparkler. I really enjoyed the dinner even though I was probably the only non-European there it was a pleasant experience. Note: it's a cash only establishment they don't except credit cards. Smakelijk!!
