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.

Overall, a cute place to enjoy a nice meal but it is pricer than other nearby restaurants.

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!

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.

I would have preferred another option for dipping, but the endive leaves made for a pretty presentation. I would definitely eat hear again if the opportunity arose.
