The service is impeccable; friendly, professional, speedy yet never rushed. The food is fantastic. When you sit down, you will be given some fresh bread in a little "Raymond" bag, rillette--a pork pâté--and some small olives to nibble on. We chose the Prix Fixe menus Raymond and Belge, but they have a full a la carte menu and most people seemed to do that. The starters of mushroom toast and shrimp croquettes started the parade of delicious dishes. The toast was crispy and buttery with perfect garlicky mushrooms on top. The croquettes were very crispy on the outside with a soft interior. Lovely. The toast came with a green salad. The main courses of Belgian Stew and Sole (Sliptongue) were perfectly cooked, with the fish sliding easily off the bones and the stew beef rich and tender. They came with frites (with homemade mayonnaise) and a salad, and dunking the fries in the stew was an added delight. Dessert--though we were getting quite full at this point--was a lovely crème brûlée, with perfect crispy sugar on top and soft rich custard below. Wow. We also had ice cream in a dark chocolate sauce with some small crisp bits on top (sweetened puffed rice?). It was also amazing. We wish we were in Bruges longer so we could go back. Next time we certainly will.

But I think this might be typical of traditional Flemish food. But the rest of the whole experience was great! The service was great, and so was the atmosphere. We went there for Christmas dinner when finding a nice restaurant that was open was very difficult. The owner/waiter was friendly with a great sense of humor. He started us off with a DELICIOUS sampler appetizer (free, and without us asking for it) of goat cheese pate with bread crumbles and herbs in a small cup, and salmon pate in the same style. We also ordered garlic bread, which was a little pricey for the amount we received. Our meals were plenty of food, and the mixed grill of meat came with a side of frites (french fries). The meats were a little bland without any seasoning on them, and didn't come with any dipping sauces. But a requested side of mustard fixed that. After our main entrees, we decided to split a dessert and we went with the cheesecake. YUMM! Not overly sweet like many American cheesecakes, but just perfectly balanced. The koffie verkeed, translated as "wrong coffee", which is basically a latte, went great with dessert. The total bill was 84 euro, which included 2 beers, 3 entrees, appetizer, a dessert, and coffee. Not cheap, but not too overly expensive by American standards. I would recommend it, but maybe get the mussels instead of the beefstew or mixed grill.

Wanted an authentic "Belgian" restaurant & felt we got exactly that! From the moment we stepped into this almost gothic building we were immersed! While the service isn't incredibly attentive (not much is in Europe) the flavors & freshness of the food far surpassed our expectations! The cheese croquettes were perfectly fried & full of yummy melty cheese! There is a little green 'salad' on the side of the plate, which had such an incredible tasting dressing! For lunch, I had the moules frites, in garlic cream sauce. What an incredible meal! The cream was not terribly creamy & the flavor of the mussels were to die for. The frites were hot & crispy, and more skinnier than Dutch frites typically are. My colleague had a tuna salad, which had a generous portion of tuna and incredibly fresh lettuce and veggies. Seems to get quite busy, so might be best to try to make a reservation, unless you choose to arrive early! All in all, it was a great experience -and I would wholly recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner!

A man walked in right after me and asked the second waiter I had just spoke to if there was a table for 4 and he said "yes, 2 minutes to clean the table". I went back in to ask why they got a table right after they told me they were full and his response was asking "what my problem was and that the other guy was before me". I replied that was incorrect, I had just spoke to him and he got louder saying "no, I didn't just talk to him and there are 1,000 people around so now the other guy was first." (Which doesn't make any sense) I didn't want to eat there at this point anyway, but let him know that was wrong and walked away. He tried yelling something else at me, but it was worth turning around to hear. Terrible way to handle this situation.

Did you say €3 spaghetti? Is it good?…read more Okay, they weren't serving spaghetti when I was there, I could not ask why. I heard from locals that it was good. Instead, this review is on the €3 appletaart, tea, the employees, customers, and the shop itself. Instead of sitting outside, I encourage you to sit inside and get comfortable. It is very cozy. The waitress who served me was very prompt, spoke good English, and apologized for not having the spaghetti that time. I had a late afternoon snack instead [of early dinner]. I had tea with milk and apple pie. My table was beside an old Dutch/Flemish/Belgian (trying to be politically correct here) couple's table who were smiling at me every time I looked their way, sharing a plate of afternoon snack of coffee and pancake (which I heard second best after the spaghetti). I smiled back in courtesy. In bare English, they asked me if my food was good, I replied 'very good'. It was! It was not very sweet and it went well with my tea. It had bits of apples. They too pointed at their pancake and said 'very good'. The sincerity almost convinced me to get an order of pancake but I stopped myself because the appletaart was more than enough. I was told that the owner (or the son who took over the place, maybe a bit hazy on the story of this place due to massive amount of Belgian beer the night before at the hostel), checks on customers. I had a middle age man come ask me if the food was good, and being the satisfied customer that I was, I said 'very good' again. He might have been the owner. He was chatting with some locals in some of the tables, laughing loudly (not rudely). No complaints on the service at all. The location of the restaurant was off the main road of the market. A lot quieter but may get packed during dinner. I wanted to go back for the spaghetti but wasn't able to. :(

This was obvious rubbish considering the 4 open tables with no reservation sign to be found. I went back later for an early dinner, and lo and behold, there were several open tables (Yes, I got the spaghetti). If Braserrie Medard wants to establish itself as a legitimate establishment, then it should learn to treat its customers with respect, regardless of whether they're tourists or not. I understand most of their clientele are locals, but that's no excuse for treating your customers like dirt. Yes, it's true that the spaghetti is cheap, but is that really worth being treated as second-class? You decide.
