    Beautiful, cozy restaurant. We enjoyed the meatloaf, duck and prawns. All of the food was excellent! Great staff, they were kind to us even though we spoke 100% English to them! Thank you!

    Went here w/ the hubs after reading about this place in several guidebooks. Was expecting a bit of a tourist trap. What we found was a very chic and cozy place seemingly frequented by locals. The restaurant is far enough away from the tourist zone to deter most tourists. Great! Let the sheep eat horrible mussels and frites on the square and leave this place to those willing to walk 10 minutes. Pros: - walking distance from most hotels - quality food -- well prepared, tasty, well presented, decent portions - lovely setting -- intimate, cozy restaurant w/ a chic but homey vibe - nice variety of updated Belgian comfort food on the menu - very good prices on beer - nice little starter of olives and breadsticks w/ hummus-y stuff - kind, attentive service Cons (not really cons but things that might annoy some people): - couldn't tell if bread came w/ the meal... some people were getting it, others weren't, but we didn't bother to ask for any either way - phony lambic kriek on the menu... belle vue... not a true lambic but still tasty! - Very hard to get a table after 7PM unless you have a reservation Overall, we really enjoyed our dinner at Tom's. We tried to come back for a second night, but alas, no reservations meant no table. I would highly recommend this restaurant to those visiting Brugge willing to venture outside the tourist zone.

    Ate here as part of Rick Steve's tour. I had the beef stew which tasted like it had a wine reduction sauce. Great service also!

    We were visiting Bruges and staying at Hotel Aragon, and this restaurant came highly recommended on…read morethe hotel's list. It checked all the boxes I was looking for - local Belgian cuisine, affordable, close by, and open late. Exactly what you want after a long day of drinking Belgian beers. I didn't realize ribs were such a big deal in Belgium, so I was genuinely excited when I ordered them... only to feel deep disappointment when the server returned to let me know they had just sold out. Luckily, I pivoted to the vol-au-vent and had absolutely no regrets. The chicken was moist and creamy, and the pastry was incredibly flaky and light. Naturally, I paired it with a Trappist ale, which felt mandatory. Cozy, satisfying, and quintessentially Belgian--this spot lived up to the recommendation and then some.

    Our son actually looked up and recommended this restaurant to us. He's 16. His recommendation was…read moreright on point! The food was so fresh and flavorful! My son loved his beef stew and applesauce. My husband loved his salmon and I absolutely loved my salad! The tomatoes tasted like they were right out of a garden!! It was one of the best salads I've ever had! The restaurant could be good just for a casual dinner or it could also be a nice romantic place to spend time with loved ones! The waiters were very nice and helpful, making recommendations that proved to be amazing!

    If you are looking for that authentic waffle - try this place out…read more The service was as efficient as possible so don't let the line deter you but do expect a little wait. It was a charming little place that delivered an amazing waffle.

    As others have said- it's not a sit down establishment. You order at the window and it was a card…read moreonly payment, no cash. There seems to always be a long line. However do not let this deter you. They are highly efficient and have a system therefore the wait goes fast. Just be sure to be situationally aware. It's along a busy street where a lot of horse carriage rides transit, so don't hang out in the street. Also, be mindful to step aside once you place your order (probably to the left facing the order window, but do not block the walkway that allows the employees to deliver your order. They call out your number and it's hot and fresh. There was no room to sit on the steps/stoops so I stood and enjoyed my waffle. Personally, I feel like one Belgian waffle is sufficient to share between 2 people because it's rich and really sweet if you get the chocolate one. While I enjoyed it and the presentation was excellent, the waffle was very dense and really chewy. But I think that's how they are since it's made from yeast based dough. It's definitely worth the try, just too sweet and too chewy for my preference. Staff were very friendly and kind as well!!
