I had the four course: the bread came with butter (not just butter, but I'll let you experience that) and pate. I copied the photo here of my menu.

I would come to Belgium again just for this. The wine was quite good and only E33/bottle. I think price/value was better than most here.

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.

After we got our reservations mixed up at OAK (we apparently had dropped a spot on the waitlist and…read morenot for a reservation), the folks there suggested their sister restaurant Door 73, which was just a few minutes down the street, a little closer to the center of Ghent. After meandering around a little, we decided to go ahead with it. You find yourself swathed in a curtain when stepping inside (at least during the winter), but once you pass that, you find yourself at a quaint little bar in the front, with the main dining room a little further back. The ambiance itself is very casual and relaxed; you can see the kitchen from the dining room, and with low ceilings and an open, undivided space, it really does feel as homey as the neighborhood the restaurant is in. The servers who took our orders were helpful, although they did accidentally bring us a dish we did not order (but they did comp it even though we failed to realize it in our jetlagged state - very kind of them). The drink menu isn't huge here, but I enjoyed the house cocktail - a gin and yuzu-based concoction, if I recall - so much that I got it twice. The elderberry that was mixed in gave it a wonderful floral nose, and the flavors were perfectly balanced between the liquor and the mixers. The food here is also pretty good, and for lunch, I found that what we settled on originally (oysters, an appetizer, and a main to share) would have been a perfect size. The oysters, from Normandy, were on the better end of what I'm used to having here - not too briny and with a bright flavor, helped by a tinge of lemon squeezed over it. The gnocchi was probably the least distinct bite, although by no means was it bad...being pumpkin-based, it certainly was seasonally appropriate. I will say our mistakenly comped appetizer - beetroot served with crumbled feta - was absolutely delicious, though. The bright pink/red beets have that perfect balance of starchy sweetness that works very well with the crumbly fattiness from the cheese - very tasty (albeit it more filling than we bargained for). We then finished up with the steak main cooked medium-rare. The steak looks more rare than it lets on when you initially see it in the mini cast-iron skillet it is served on, but the flavors are delicious, and the texture is just right. My only quibble with the dish is that while the outer edge of the steak was perfectly crisped and full of flavor, the inside was usually ringed with fat...I would have expected the steak to have been dressed such that we wouldn't have to be slicing off small pieces of it to avoid the chewy bits. From my understanding, Door 73 is a relatively new spot, but we really enjoyed our meal here, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it for a casual bite. Lunch ran a bit longer than I had hoped - a bit longer than 1.5 hours - but just keep in mind that time can move at a slower pace in European restaurants :)
