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.

Such a fun spot! We were starving, it was pouring rain, and…read morewe ended up at a cool Jazz House? 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.

We'd planned to have dinner here but did not make a booking and really lucked out with the last table open when we came in. Please, ensure you make a booking if you want to dine here. I had no idea how consistently full they'd be and felt grateful the entire time to have snagged a spot. When I tell you my fish stew has to be one of the top 5 things I've ever eaten in life, I am not kidding. It was so spectacular. I had no idea what to order and asked for a recommendation and this was it. This soup blew my mind, spoonful after spoonful it was the yummiest, most delish, comfort meal I've had in a long time. We had a very and tasty experience. Highly recommend.

A better brewery visit is hard to find…read more From initial french like confusion about payment for beer, visit and other stuff the tour starts off with a typical belgian guy pouring young lambic in a very unconventional way into our glasses. In broken french and broken english our guide tells us the history of geuze and the brewery while we taste our samples. Beer buffs ask advanced beer questions, non-sour beer lovers look terrified tasting the beer. Very promising... The tour continues, walking through the miniscule set up for brewing the belgian treasure Geuze, and the tour continues, and continues... Well, after a very long, cold and interesting tour, focussing on really interesting andecdotes, funny technical aspect of barrel making, mold, bacteria, yeast and the price of italian made storage tanks, we end up in the tasting room again. The belgian guide pours us beer after beer and we rejoice, stuffed with knowledge and sour beer. Since most of the other visitors have left we end up with the guide telling us even more stories . He also tells us that he actually don't work at the place, he is a volunteer that has devoted his life to the history of belgian beer, lambic and geuze, and is responsible for the part of the brewery that is a museum. Respect! Best spent EUR 9 ever.

It is well-known for its lambic beer, brewed according to traditional brewing methods. Brewery visits are possible individually or in a group, each Saturday, with online reservation. Groups are limited to 25 people per guide. The tour itself takes 45 minutes to 1 hour, followed by a tasting session in the tasting room "Het Bierhuis" next door. For the ones who would just like to taste one of the many delicious beers, Het Bierhuis is open from Thursday till Sunday. Locally produced dishes made with beer are also available.

I asked for the wifi password, and the bartender told me it's the capital of Australia instead of telling me what exactly the pw is (which is cinberra). The decors here are super cute yet exotic, there are tons of traveling books on the bookshelf as well. The beer that my bro ordered for 4 euro was excellent as well. They also have seats on the patio upstairs, so it's nice when it's sunny too. There are also plenty of seats in the back as well, tho I prefer the sofa area. It's a good spot to get wifi or rest in the middle of your trip.

All the wall decor is travel-related (with photos of who I assume is the owner traipsing all around the world), and maps and license plates from all over. There's a giant lounge-y area with couches, there's seating in the front, back, and upstairs (including and outdoor area). The place is HUGE. We sat upstairs, which was cool because you could overlook the rest of the restaurant. I was advised to get the beef stew, which is a Gent specialty. It was definitely comfort food and well made, though a bit weird to eat in the summer. It came with a bunch of croquettes on the side, perfect for dipping in the sauce. Their menu also has all sorts of other random stuff like kangaroo and Asian fusion. Good beer selection as well!
