Our tower of tea treats were all displayed perfectly and described in detail. I don't know about tea - tea is gross, but they make one hell of cup of coffee. A five star high tea in a comfortable and welcoming environment. We hope to return with our family.

I did buy some packets to bring home but I'm afraid I definitely should have bought much more! Very friendly staff as well, will be spreading the word!

You pour the chocolate (got 95 cocoa) into the milk and stir well! Had a waffle with ruby chocolate sauce on top. The sauce was nice. Popular spot so get there early. Their shop is right next door!

We came for a light lunch. We were seated right away. It looks quite old fashion inside. Like you…read moreare eating at a nice dining place. I believed it is a family owned establishment. We ordered espresso and tea, which came with a miniature sized dessert that was very good. We were too hungry and didn't take pics of the food. Hubby ordered the Croque monsieur, which he said was very good. Kids ordered the Belgium waffle with strawberries. The waffle was nicely crispy, and still light and airy. Kids ate it all. I had the warm goat cheese and bacon salad. It was very good. Sweetness of the corn balanced out the creaminess of the cheese and the saltiness of the bacon. Desserts looked amazing, I wanted to try them all. My son decided to choose the fruit tart to share and it was delicious. Lots of fruits and with creamy center and crunchy shortbread crust.

We walked over and into a cornucopia of pastries. I had never seen a display like this before. I told them that we do nit have a reservation and wold like to have a light breakfast, after a 30 second wait they brought us to a lovely table in the back. A truly delightful setting. We ordered light as I do not enjoy 'bulking up' in the morning when I know that I will be doing a lot of walking and exploring. A pastry each and some coffee was our meal. I was a little disappointed that I didn't order more after seeing some of the breakfasts they were serving. Everything just looked so good. Our waitress was lovely and took very good care of us despite us having a very small breakfast. She was extremely appreciative of the tip we left. This place is a definite stop if when we return to Bruges and we will return to Bruges. KUDOs to the team at Carpe Diem.

They provided us a table where we can have a stroller right next to us. The food was solid. I got the steak, which was cooked perfectly but the sauce was just okay. They also provided a free appetizer - crab sauce with toast - that was yummy. Dessert was delicious! Not too sweet! Much better than the restaurants on the square.
