Indoor and outdoor seating with umbrellas for sunny or wet days. It's small, indoors there's maybe seating for 10-12. Outdoors has 8 small tables. I had the #1, which is smoked ham, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, olive oil, and rocket. It was one of the best ham and cheese sandwiches I've ever had. There were other things on it too that looked like a thinly sliced cucumber and another type of dressing. Highly recommended for a quick, good, inexpensive meal. Staff was friendly.

They warmed it up so the outside was a little crunchy. It could have had a little more veggies on it, but overall, it was good and made a satisfying lunch as I walked around Bruges.

With a pretty good selection of various sandwich combos, this place seemed as good as any. Almost all the tables outside were full up and people seemed to be munching away. I chose to get the Caesar Sandwich (the Tropical would have been my second choice) because I've been craving Caesar salad, and the wife got just a chicken sandwich. The service was quick and great. The food was just so so though. The Stella was a touch skunky and tasted a bit off. The sandwich, while yeah, it was fine, did have a good amount of brown edged pieces of lettuce I wasn't too keen on. This place isn't terrible by any means. And yeah, there's a solid selection. So if you're looking for a quick sandwich. This is not a terrible option. I might suggest avoiding the cheap Stella though.

The place itself is cute and not at all teeming with tourists like some of the places closer to the water. The locals seem to love it so I wouldn't call it a hidden gem but it's a lovely little respite from some of the crowds in the city center. So glad we stopped in.

The white asparagus soup was phenomenal! One of the best soups that I have had. Tomato soup with…read moremeatballs was also delicious. The soups are very hardy. We made the mistake of ordering two small bowls of soup and a sandwich for two of us to share. The sandwich was completely unnecessary, and we could not finish all the food.

Be prepared to wait. I mean it. You can get there and only see a few people in front of you. You…read morewill still wait. From my review, you can clearly tell it is worth the wait. There were 4-6 people in front of us. It took us about an hour waiting. I hate to keep harping on the wait time but setting expectations is key. There is even a story posted on the window about the wait time. So why the wait? Tonton Graby provides individual attention. You can order off their limited menu or just talk to him about your feelings, likes, and dislikes. From there, you get a tailored cheese sandwich exceeding any expectations you might have built up. You don't pay until you've at least tasted it - even if you opt'd for take out. "If you don't like it, I'll eat it" the owner will tell you. You might opt for fruit or veggies on top. You can add meat. There is a small area to eat in if like us you were in no hurry. A sandwich with meat ran 9 euros as of this writing. They accept credit but prefer cash. Enjoy!

There were 4 varieties-tomato, broccoli, carrots and cauliflower and there are 4 toppings you can add-meatballs, chicken, cheese or herbs (or mix/match). You order at the counter (kid, medium or large sizes) and tell them your toppings. The food comes with a tangerine and bread for around 8€ so a cheap lunch. Some seating upstairs as well which is a little less hectic. They also sell sandwiches but we didn't try them. Tomato seemed to be the best seller (also what we had) and a medium bowl (guessing around 2-3 cups of soup) was ample for me for lunch.
