Good service and good food. I came in without a reservation…read moreand they were able to accommodate me, this was around 6pm on a Thursday. My waiter was attentive and made the recommendation to have the Lasagna Diablo which was delicious- be warned it is a big serving. Good sharing dish. I had it with a local beer. Highly recommend this place.

Our first real meal in Belgium was an absolute winner here!

It's certainly a charming little place, and on a slightly drizzly day it was a very pleasant place to be in from the cold and rain. The Mosselen Natuur (plain steamed mussels) were big, meaty, well-cleaned, and tasty, but if you're not a shellfish fan, the Stoofpotje van Varkenswangetjes (pork cheek stew) is a great choice. Extremely tender pork cheek with minimal excess fat, and a lot of it, with a delicious red wine sauce plus much better fries than we'd had earlier on the main square made my night. I'd say that this was the best meal I had in our trip to Belgium, definitely one I'd repeat if we visit Bruges again!

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.

Bruges was so beautiful with its rivers flowing through Minnewater Park. My friend and I were…read moreenjoying the lovely scenery and decided we'd stop by a random restaurant for dinner on our first night in Belgium, and that took us to t' Minnewater. The restaurant offers outdoor seating with a cover/heat lamps, making it bearable during colder months. We noticed that this particular spot had all the patrons compared to other ones so we figured to be safe than sorry- follow the crowds. We ordered two main entrees to split: - Mussels and Frites (€19.95) - Dowsed in white wine sauce with a basket of fries on the side, this was our must-eat while in Belgium. The offering here was good but the white wine they used to cook them in lacked that kick I was looking for. Still a good portion with decent mussels to enjoy. - Vlammse Stoverij (€15.95) - Bruges' popular beef stew that everyone in the chocolate shops recommended we try. The plate of meat was not bad but a bit on the saltier side. I could have used some more bread to help combat some of that sodium. We were both stuffed by the end of our meal that we didn't bother with dessert... yet. So not a bad restaurant to try some Belgian offerings. Would come back to this area again for another bite if the opportunity permits.

Stopped by for a late lunch during our day trip to Brugge. There were to different set-lunch menus…read moreoffered. Both offered a appetizer, entree, and dessert. Both price levels offered different selections which I liked a lot. We got a 15.90€ option with mussels in cream sauce, panseared salmon, and ice cream along with a 20.95€ option with soup of the day, stewed beef, and a slice of cake. The soup of the day was tomato soup. It was thick and hearty and you can tell it was made with real vegetables. The mussels in cream sauce was flavorful and fresh. The salmon was fresh and tasty. The bernaise sauce it was served with added a nice touch. The stewed beef was flavorful and tender but seemed a bit dry to me (if that even makes sense). Both entrees were served with a small salad and plenty of fries (which was amazing). The ice cream was, well, ice cream but the slice of cake was delicious! Layers of chocolate, cake, and what tasted like a mixed nut cream was amazing - not too sweet and not too heavy. I would recommend this place for the value of the food but if you're in a rush, this may not be the place for you. Lunch took a little over an hour - we got there at 2pm and did not finish until 3:10pm. We are pretty quick diners. Service was good despite the speed.
