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.

A nice restaurant, conveniently located in the historic center…read more The price may be a touch high but I've found restaurant meals here to be expensive in general. The quality is rather good, though. We had a starter order of fried calamari. It was hot, tender, coated in crispy panko, and served with a sweet chili sauce that may have had a touch of curry. It was utterly delicious but the serving size was a bad joke. Four rings of calamari for 13€. I don't care how amazing it tasted. That price for that tiny a serving is unacceptable. The mains fared better. Contrary to some other comments, the server did not try to upsell us or get us to order more than we wanted. The mussels in garlic were drenched in a wonderful garlic bath and the serving was entirely reasonable for one person. Of course it comes with frites, which will be refilled by the server as often as requested. I don't care for mussels so I had some challenges with the menu. I settled on the shrimp croquettes with salad (and frites, cuz Belgium). Very well prepared and quite tasty, especially the salad dressing of all things, but the filling was much wetter than I prefer. Service was competent and professional, with the server even asking if we'd like the volume of the music turned down. Definitely worth it if you like mussels. Maybe not so much if mussels aren't your thing.

We actually came here to try the eel on green (apparently a known belgium dish). The only way I've…read morehad eel before was japanese bbq style (unagi don), so I was extremely intrigued as to what eel on green was. The sauce was like a pesto basil sauce, and the eel came with bone but was extremely soft and soaked in flavor. the green sauce was also perfect with the fries and complimentary bread. The bread was actually so soft and good that we asked for more! We also enjoyed the fish soup and the very fresh oysters!

First and best Moules frites experience in Belgium! After the first awkward interaction for our…read moreearly dinner, the owner(?) opened up and graciously walked us through this local specialty. It was very good, especially the garlic wine broth version. He even mentioned very honestly that it wasn't really mussel season, but said their preparation was the best. He was right!

We were in Brugge for a couple of days. We were looking for a restaurant that opened on the…read moreearlier side and Bistro Zwart Huis popped up. The food was good. 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.

I saw that Poules Moules wasn't too far from me, so I decided to try it out and do walk-in. Thankfully I was able to seated quickly upstairs, which had a nice view of the street. I got the moules-frites, which is a large pot of mussels with a side of fries. I have to say, this was probably one of my favorite meals that I had while I was in Belgium. The flavor of the mussels was great, and the crispiness of the fries paired well with it. The portion sizes are pretty large so it's a good one to share, but I was happy with what I had. Overall, I think this restaurant is one to definitely check out if you're in Bruges!

Ok back to the restaurant. As we walked in the staff was very nice and welcomed us. They were very helpful through out the meal. We ordered the cold plate for two.

The plate had 3 different types of oysters, lobster, prawns, langoustine, stone crab claws, three types of clams and snails (not hermit crabs). Lots if food. The dessert was very good but the Irish coffee was better. What made us choose this place was the hotel said you won't get any fresher the here. They catch most of what they sell.
