Stunning location (back wall…read moreinside is the outside wall of the cathedral), and, most important, well above average service and atmosphere. Throw in a unique selection of wines you never guessed you really wanted to get to know, and you'll guess why you're better off booking a table. Very recommended! Feel like you're really in the best café in the Provence.

Atrocious service; such a shame as the location and wine are wonderful…read more Living in Antwerp more than 13 years we are always eager to try new restaurants/winebars. When this place opened up a few years ago, we were delighted to taste their great wines. At the time we put their frankly "rude", service down to newbie nerves. However, on our 2nd and 3rd visit we had that sinking feeling that although the location, and wine were spectacular, it really is not right to hand over hard earned cash to restaurant owners who treat their paying customers this atrociously. After a gap of almost 1 year, we arranged to meet people there last night. I can honestly say I have never experienced such rude, aggressive behavior from a restaurant in my life. I get they were tired and they wanted to close. But here's the thing; don't sell the most expensive bottle of wine to someone if you want them to leave 10 minutes later and certainly do not lean over a guest and aggressively ask if they don't like your wine as they are not drinking it fast enough. If you are from a Country where service is as important as the quality of food/drinks, then avoid this place at all costs. You might get lucky and the owners good be in a good mood if not, a visit here is likely to ruin your night in an otherwise super city.

This place had me feeling pretty nervous going in. The elegant and expensive decor combined with…read moredesigner clad and perfectly coiffed clientele left me sure I'd be ordering a very expensive glass of wine, nursing it, then beating a hasty retreat ASAP. When I opened the massive leather bound wine list, I was amazed. You can get lovely glasses of sauvignon blanc or pilot noir for €4. The rest of the wines are between 5-7 by the glass, with sparkling white wine for €4 as well. Bargain! They have loads of bottles at both everyday and special occasion prices. Someone has put a lot of money into the decor here, it feels very decadent and luxurious. You can also get charcuterie plates. The staff are very warm and friendly, even to scruffy types like myself. A real find among the overpriced Den Haag bars.

Being Mexican, I was reluctant to try Mexican cuisine in Bruges. This place was great! One of the…read moreowners is from Pachuca and the service was amazing.

Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy good Mexican food. The decore was really nice too.

Belgium is known for their excellent beers, but what if you're not really a beer drinker and in…read moreBruges? Don't worry - this is your spot wine lovers! While 2 stories, it can't seat but perhaps 35 when packed. We arrived as they had just opened so could just walk in but reservations are definitely recommended otherwise. It's very intimate, warm and welcoming. The day we were there was cold and rainy so the fireplace was a definite plus. The owner speaks English very well, knows her wines, and makes you feel very welcome (the place is celebrating its 20th anniversary so they're clearly doing something right). They do live music on Sunday nights and play a great selection of jazz at a nice low level otherwise. They do a happy hour and in addition to what's on the menu, they have a rotating selection of good wines by the glass from around the world (had a fantastic Malbec). They have great tapas, soups and large shareable plates. We loved this wine bar gem in Bruges!

On a sunny Sunday my husband and I went for a walk and stumbled upon Belgian Wines. So we thought…read morewhy not? The interieur is low key and is both a wine bar and a wine shop. You can sit and enjoy a glass or buy a bottle to go. We decided to do both and the wines didn't disappoint. There are also meat and cheese plates available - maybe next time! We spoke briefly with one of the owners about the shop. If you eat around Antwerp, a lot of the wines will look familiar. It turns out that Belgian Wines is their supplier. I am a strong believer in eating local, so I really like that Belgian wines are being promoted in the city. Plus they're delicious! The only thing holding me back from a full 5 stars is that there was a full table when we arrived of tourists and once they left, the two waitresses spent a good 5 minutes loudly making jokes and mocking them. I mean, the bar is not so big, so my husband and I were both a bit uncomfortable. If they make fun of them, are they going to make fun of us too when we leave? That won't stop me from returning, but will make me hesitant to stay too long in the shop.
