They offer four soups as their lunch menu - a beef pho, a Tom yum Thai soup, a veggie based soup, and I believe a laksa option. Hubs and I both had the beef pho. It had a number of elements I wasn't expecting (dumplings, meat balls, carrots, and bok choy), but it all came together nicely in any event. Cozy, clean, well run, and a proprietor who clearly takes great pride in what she offers customers. Give this place a try!

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!

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.

You will not be disappointed…read more This lovely, warm and inviting restaurant was exceptional from start to finish. Legit Belgian food prepared by the wife, with the front of the house being handled by the husband, and one server assisting. Please do not be in a hurry. You're in Europe. Relax with a nice Belgian Tongerlo Blonde and just soak in the atmosphere. I had the Flemish beef stew. Incredible. Hearty. Filling. Ate every morsel. My daughter had the Boeuf Bourguignon with croquettes. My son-in-law had a huge pot of fresh mussels and vegetables in garlic sauce. The portions are all very generous. The only reason my daughter left a few bites was because she was so full. We finished it all off with coffee, hot chocolate and the most delicious Crème Brûlée. By far the best meal we had on our weeklong voyage. I hope to someday get back to this gem.

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!
