Reliva is in the heart of Bruges but seems like a total hidden gem. It's an affordable 4 (or 5) course menu, and it is very modern, European-style cuisine with a heavy emphasis on fresh, in-season ingredients. The restaurant is owned and operated by two people, a couple. Lien Vandeputte is the chef, and she handles all of the cooking, kitchen, and menu-setting. Her partner, Cédric, does all the front of the house, including waiting tables and recommending wine pairings. They've been at this for 15+ years, and they still look very young, so they must have started when they were very young. But they run the restaurant really well. We got one regular menu and one garden (vegetarian) menu. The only difference between these is the regular menu had two meat options (fish of the day or an in-season venison), while the vegetarian menu had a celeriac dish instead. I went with the fish, which was a cod. We also chose to do 4 courses instead of 5. The fifth course would have been a ceviche. The menu started off with two amuse bouches. Both were interesting and quite substantial. The cauliflower puree in particular was a standout. It was just bursting with cauliflower flavor. I really am curious how she managed to pull off so concentrated of a flavor. The beet dish was a bit more traditional, but it had some really hard bits for texture, which we later found out was spelt. The next course was the salad course, with a pretty typical fresh tomato salad. I thought this was probably the weakest course, but even this was still very well balanced. It was citrusy and acidic, and the vegetables were definitely very much in season. The next course is a play on Belgian mussels. All the shells were already removed, so we just got a very highly concentrated bowl of consommé. As with the other dishes, it was bursting with flavor, despite being very limited in quantity. The cod came out perfectly cooked, tender but still definitively cooked. It was seasoned well, and the soup and sauce that came with it accompanied it well. The vegetable entree with the celeriac as centerpiece was even better. It had many of the same sauce components of the cod, but the celeriac itself was extremely well cooked. We later asked how it was made, and we found out that it requires a long cook in the oven at very low temperatures. The result was an extremely tender but still tasty celeriac. The final course was a traditional strawberry and cream dessert with the twist of adding rhubarb. The rhubarb completely made the dish, as the acidity and general fruitiness of it played well with the more classic flavor of the strawberries and cream. The almond crumble also was crucial, providing the necessary texture and fun element to the dessert. We didn't do the wine pairings because we had both already been drinking a lot during the day (across two Belgian beer brewery tours!), but we did a nice glass of Chardonnay and also a Chenin dessert wine, which was lovely. If we ever find ourselves back in Bruges again, I would very happily visit Reliva again and experience whatever Lien and Cédric decide to serve us.

First time in Belgium and I knew I obviously had to get a waffle! A group of us were walking around…read moreand recognized this place from TikTok and decided to try it. The menu consists of their waffle creations and a build-your-own option. We didn't notice until after we ordered that all the waffles are gluten-free, dairy-free, and plant-based. Honestly, if I had knew that before coming here I would have chosen a different waffle place. Service was good and the workers spoke some English. There isn't much space inside to eat your waffles there, but it is clean. All the waffles are prepared freshly right in front of you and served made to order. I will note these are definitely a more expensive option, each waffle is about €10 and they aren't huge. I ended up ordering the Chocolate Lady waffle which included a waffle with dark chocolate sauce, vanilla ice cream, cocoa nibs, and roasted buckwheat. Waffles came out about 10 minutes after ordering. While this may seem like a longer wait, there was a large group of us and only one worker making the waffles. The waffles itself were very flaky and not heavy at all. After hearing that they were "diet friendly" waffles, in understood why. Honestly, the waffle didn't have a ton of flavor. The rich chocolate sauce atop with the ice cream saved it in my opinion. While they were lighter than maybe a traditional Belgian waffle, I don't think this is anywhere close to a traditional Belgian waffle. I appreciated the presentation and better ingredients, but I was a little disappointed. I enjoyed my waffle here, but if you are seeking an authentic Belgian waffle, look elsewhere. This is an excellent spot for people with dietary restrictions though. These waffles are also much pricier than ones you'll find in the area and they are not very filling. I loved the presentation, the toppings, and the overall aesthetic of the eatery, but the waffle fell very short. This is, unfortunately, an example of a "TikTok tourist trap" place. If you are dairy or gluten sensitive, check this place out! If not, I would look somewhere else. Chocolate Lady Waffle 5/10

My friend and I eventually decided to stick with this pizza restaurant. We both weren't super hungry, so wanted to order light. We decided to share a salad and a pizza pie. HOUSE BURRATA SALAD The burrata in the description instantly caught my eye. So, that already won my decision to order this. And it was indeed great! The salad is very light and makes you feel healthy after you eat it. It's full of cherry tomatoes, arugula & red onions paired with pesto sauce. The combination of these ingredients tasted great. It's an excellent choice of salad. PORTOBELLO PIZZA For the main course, we opted for Portobello. Overall, the pizza are not very big. It's shareable, but won't fill your stomach up. The slices are cut very small and thin. But the mushroom flavor filled each bite. This pizza also has kale as a veggie to top it all off. Overall, we really enjoyed each of these two options. It was the perfect amount for our "not super hungry, but can't skip dinner" kind of stomachs. The food didn't make you super full like some other Belgian foods out there. All the ingredients seemed fresh, light and healthy.

My husband ordered the Triple Madame which is a Croque but with an extra piece of bread and a spicy mayo on the side. The bread was so crisp and sopped up the yolk from the yolk from a perfectly fried sunny side up egg. I ordered the granola with yogurt. Sounds lame but let me tell you that the yogurt was thick and creamy and topped with homemade granola, sliced grapes, goji berries, blackberries, blueberries, and passionfruit. Delicious. Their coffee and fresh orange juice was just as good. Their specialty when we went was a red velvet latte which was months before I saw it on menus back in the states.
