The mussels tasted amaziiiing. Also I had the tarte flambe and it was very good. Steak and egg isn't recommended though! read more

Hands down one of my most favorite restaurants in Pittsburgh. Why? It's so consistently good. We keep coming back for more. The service is great and attentive. The food is always piping hot and delicious. The prices are reasonable for what you get. And the atmosphere is clean and comfortable. If you are a booth lover like me, this place is for you! It's at least 70% booths/banquets. Yes! I also enjoy sitting at the bar. (My only complaint is they don't have purse hooks at the bar ... such a necessity! Hopefully they add those soon.) As far as drinks go, their Moscow Mules do not disappoint and I always find a tasty beer or wine to try. As you will see in other reviews here, Mussels w/ classic sauce and frites are where it's at. They also serve my husband's favorite burger in town. It's all about the bun! Do yourself a favor and check this place out ... just know that there is almost always a wait so if you want to get in right away I recommend a geriatric 5:00 p.m. dining hour. Or lunch. It's also a great spot for lunch. :) Cheers! read more

I'm torn between 2-3-4 stars. So, I'll average and go with 3. Went in on a Saturday night and waited about 45 minutes table for 2. Not bad. My main complaint is that it is LOUD. I mean, put some carpet down or noise tiles up or SOMETHING. I had to keep asking the person across the table from me "What?!" The food was good, the service was good. But the #1 thing that won't make me come back is the price. $19 for a plate of pasta with some boiled shrimp? Ummm....next time I'll save my dough and go eat at Eleven. If you like Mussels, maybe this is the place for you. ...but they're not my thing. But hey, maybe that's just me being picky and liking quiet restaurants. If you're into a noisy scene and lots of beer selections, you'll probably like it. Try it out. read more

Park Bruge is hands-down one of my favorite restaurants in Pittsburgh. Are you still in point breeze and frequented point Bruges. Unfortunately there are seating is a little lacking due to their space. This particular evening we went to point breeze first and it was an hour wait so we made our way over to the Highland Park location. They had just recently updated their menu and had many new options and it was hard to decide. We ended up going with an appetizer of fried cauliflower,the short ribs and the salmon. The fried cauliflower appetizer was one of the best apps I have had in a very long time. My husband enjoyed the short ribs I had a bite and they were melt in your mouth tender. The salmon was perfect and served with roasted brussels sprouts and a sweet potato risotto. I didn't love the risotto, but I did not, NOT I like. For dessert we enjoyed their mouth watering bread pudding which is the best I've ever had. If you haven't gone here already please make your way to one of the Bruges they now have three locations! read more

I like this location more than Point Brugge, because they have essentially the same menu but with less of a crowd. The mussels in white wine sauce are to die for, and they keep us coming back, but some of the other dishes are not as great. The roast chicken is delicious (beware: takes half an hour to prepare!), but the sauteed chicken breast is pretty much tomatoes with a side of tomatoes. I couldn't take more than a few bites before getting overwhelmed. So if you want the best thing on the menu, order the mussels in white wine sauce. The service here, like at Point Brugge, is consistently very bad. I've had to wander around looking for the seating host/ess multiple times, and usually end up asking the bartender to point him/her out to me. Once we're seated, the waiter typically shows up once to get drinks, and if we don't order our food then, we will have to flag them down 15 minutes later--which is an ordeal in itself, as they are mysteriously out of sight 60% of the time, and chatting with other customers 30% of the time. I've seriously sat and watched our waiter have 15-minute long conversations about the weather with a customer at another table while we wait to ask for more water. Anyway, we've come back here many times, which must mean that the great food is worth sacrificing service for. read more

What's not to like? It's Pittsburgh, Belgian style. You like fries and beer? How about poutine and a Belgian beer? Maybe even a tasty plate of muscles. read more

The star I subtracted from my review for Point Brugge returns here due to the vastly improved seating / atmosphere within the restaurant. It's really nice to be able to comfortably sit in a spacious restaurant that doesn't get so loud as to impede conversation. Other than that, the food at this restaurant was excellent just as at Point Bruges. I've had multiple preparations of the fresh mussels and they are all excellent. I've also sampled the various other dishes that my girlfriend has ordered, and those were excellent as well. I also appreciate the friendliness and promptness of the staff. Overall, this is a great restaurant that you should definitely visit if you're in the area looking for some food on the pricier side. read more

Don't bother calling this place for take out as i did. Was driving down the highway and called in to order dinner to pick up on the way home. The young lady that answered the phone told me to place my order online. Ha no that's ok i will order from someplace else. If you're too busy for take out then stop the take out service. read more

Went here last Saturday... Had the mussels in white wine, pasta with butternut squash, pecan pie for dessert and cocktails, everything was just delicious!!!! I can't wait to go back. The menu is the perfect size, all Dishes sounded great, it was hard to choose. They also sport specialty, local liqueurs. Super awesome place! Price is right as well! Yum! Oh... Staff, excellent as well. read more

We like their mussel, French fries, and Mac & cheese. No reservation you can ask but easy to find seats for two on weekday nights.

Are you in Pittsburgh? Somewhere in the East End? Is it lunch time? Get yourself to Park Bruges. Subjectively, they have my favorite burger in all of the Burgh. The burger is always perfectly done and the bread is fresh, with a perfect crust. Everything above and beyond that just makes it all the better. Though the draft list is small, their bottle selection is substantial and varied. They have great wines available and the atmosphere is vibrant -- for lunch or dinner. Going for dinner? Get there early or get ready to wait. read more

Would give it 10 stars we were there for brunch. Loved my salmon Benedict. Only regret we didn't get the fries. Great service, great food. Street parking. Awesome. read more

I am picky, let that be known. Park Brugges satisfies my endless craving for mussels much in the same way its sister restaurant does. Situated in the charming business district of Highland Park, Park Brugges is a great place to spend a romantic evening, or get your grub on after work. Roll up those sleeves because moule's can get a bit messy at times if you dive into them with a zeal such as mine. I imagine they have other fantastic dishes on their menu, I am sure of it. Alas, I doubt I will ever discover it for myself as I am too busy getting lost in a sea of curried moules and crispy frites (mayo!), while the current of Unibroue carries me onward. read more

I've heard people talk about this place all the time and finally decided to go and see for myself. It was prime brunch time and it was so crowded here that we had to get seated at the bar or else wait hours to get seated. We ordered the baked french toast which looked extremely appetizing. When I had a bite it seemed to lack something...There wasn't a lot of flavor in the strawberries that were in the french toast which was pretty disappointing. I ordered the bruges frites brunch style. It was a heaping pile of fries, eggs, sausage gravy, and cheese. The first few bites were amazing but afterwards i found the fries too salty, being covered in gravy made them soggy as well. Some chunks of cheese were not melted and dispersed well enough either. I liked the fries that were untouched by the gravy - one of the best fries I've ever eaten. read more

I brunch a lot. I am serious about brunch and having moved to pgh from phl I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find some great brunch places to fill the void. Luckily one of the first places I stumbled upon (with the help of google maps and yelp reviews) was Park Bruges. Situated on Bryant Street in Highland Park, they were right around the corner from where I stayed the first time I visited Pittsburgh. I feel pretty lucky to have this place be one of the first restaurants I've tried because it is so darned good. This is a Saturday and Sunday brunch place which is super important to me, the idea that you can only brunch on Sunday is something that Pittsburgh has GOT TO STOP. It's the weekend? you should be able to brunch. End of story. Their brunch menu is pretty big with lots of options if you're indecisive. They even have a prix fix option where you get a brunch beverages, brunch meal, and a side dish. I'm a big fan of their eggs benedict, steak and eggs, and brunch poutine (so decadent, and delicious). If you show up at a few minutes before 11am (when they open) there is a line to get in, but if you are in that line you are usually sat immediately at 11 which makes it a great way to be sure you can get in. I also like coming up here because of their proximity to E2 and tazzadora (in case the wait is too long I like options!) I've also recently had dinner here and I can admit that I was just as happy with that meal as I was with brunch (except that brunch is the best meal of the day and therefore trumps all other meals in my book regardless of how good they are). Overall, it's fair to say that I'm a fan and will continue to be a fan so long as they continue to feed me delicious brunch foods and cocktails. read more

"If I was born on a farm and was retarded, Bruges might impress me, but I wasn't and I'm not, so it doesn't" -Colin Farrell, IN BRUGES I must respectfully disagree Mr. Farrell. Park Bruges thoroughly impressed me with their variety of classical Belgian dishes, friendly and competent staff, cozy location and impressive beer list. My ever present girlfriend and I met a few friends at Park Bruges one Tuesday evening for some dinner. It was a beautiful night so we opted to sit outside (it was also the only remaining four top in the restaurant). Since we were the second to arrive, our friends already had a table outside. Therefore, I will refrain from reviiwing the atmosphere inside the actual restaurant for the time being. I am going back so look for it in either another review, or an edit of this one. What I did see through the large picture window looked like a cozy little place with a nice bar and seating for maybe 40. To lead off any good meal, I think you need a good beer. Park Bruges certainly comes through in that department. While their draft selection is a little limited, they more than make up for it by having a very, very nice selection of bottles, both Belgian and craft/import. This is a big plus for my friend, Jon, a Belgian beer nut, who likes Park Bruges even more than I do. While I respect the Belgian ales, and do partake on occassion, I like a greater variety than the yeasty sweetness you get in those particular styles, and the melange of other options pleased me greatly. The service was very good also. Our server was nice, attentive, and informative, a great combination for a waitress. She always made sure our glasses were never empty, our old plates were always quickly whisked away almost as soon as we were done, and we always had plenty of fresh bread. This is very important as you will see in a minute. On to the main event, the food. I went there expecting to get a nice meal, maybe an appetizer, dessert, and main. That all went out the window when I saw the menu and wanted everything on it. That's usually a good sign so I went with my gut (literally, I was starving) and loaded up on slald, soup, fries, a burger, mussels, and dessert. Yes I am a fatass, but at least I am a happy fatass. For the salad I got the regular house salad tossed in a champagne vinegarette. Overall, I remember it being a good salad, but the other items I had kind of overshadowed it, so sorry I can't be a little more detailed. As my salad was coming out, my friends were getting their onion soups. One look and a whif later I am chasing down the waitress to get one for myself. One of the better ideas I have had in some time if I may say. It came out piping hot, like a good onion soup should, and somthered in creamy, melty,emmental cheese. The apples they put in it kind of threw me through a loop, but it was a good loop to be sure. The next item I got was the PEI mussels in a classic garlic, onion, white wine, and cream sauce. They mussels were cooked well so they were firm, but not rubbery. The sauce they were in was the true star of the dish. I was a little thinner than what I would have made myself, but it tasted fantastic. This is where all that extra bread came in handy. They didn't even need to rinse the plate after I got through with it. For dinner I got the Bruges Burger with coleslaw and an order of the pomme frites. The burger was cooked medium rare, like I like it and the shredded short ribs mixed with the creamy gruyere was a delightful little pop to the sandwich. It was a good burger, not the best I have had, but I wouldn't hesitate to order it again. The fries were also done properly as well. They were double fried and seasoned well (take note Pittsburgh, crispy, salty fries are invading and I am telling them where to find resistance fighters) and the garlic mayo added the perfect bit of zazz to go with them. For dessert we had a stout infused Belgian waffle with a homemade chocolate-candied walnut ice cream. It was good, and a manager told me it was an experiment, but I felt it fell a little flat. The stout just made the waffle taste burned, but the ice cream, the truly good part, covered up the flavor well. I would liked to have seen perhaps a fruit sorbet with the stout waffle, or maybe a Lindeman's Framboise, or Kriek infused waffle with the same ice cream. All said and done, I really enjoyed my visit to Park Bruges. I wish that I could have rated them higher, but it was just a few flaws that kept them out of the top slot. I gave them the "Yay, I'm a fan!" rating because the one or two little misteps kept them out of the realm of "Woohoo! As good as it gets!". Park Bruges may not be as good as it gets, but they are pretty damn close. I look forward to my next visit. read more

Consistently satisfying place for brunch. I get the Eggs Benedict or potato hash and have never been disappointed. The food is filling, rich, and warms and wakes you up. My favorite to date was a duck and sweet potato hash a few years ago, but the beef brisket and gouda hash from this past weekend comes in a close second. read more

Went to Park Brugges for brunch after hearing all the amazing things about this place and its sister restaurant, Point Brugges. The boyfriend got the gingerbread beer cocktail and really enjoyed it. We might go back for the Belgian beer selection, but the service was ho-hum (sure they were busy, but I had to ask multiple times for my water to be refilled, server never came to check on the food, etc) and while the food was good, I'm not sure it's worth the price. We got the tarte flambe-think pizza on a poppadom. It was flavorful and crispy, and the arugula really complemented the ham nicely. We got it with a side of potato gratin which was pretty meh. We also had the brunch-style poutine, and here we were less impressed. We've both eaten a lot of poutine (I'm from the Canadian border), and there's a certain way it should be--crispy thick cut fries with a rich, flavorful gravy. The fries were rather soggy (and not just where the gravy hit them) and the gravy was pretty bland. The addition of sausage, while innovative, did not blend well with the gravy, causing the dish to be unnecessarily heavy and sweet. Maybe we didn't pick the right menu items to fully experience Park Brugges. I might give it another shot for lunch/dinner, but I won't be back for brunch. read more

Overall, it was pretty good. Nothing extremely impressive, but food was good! My husband and I came here with two of our friends on a Friday night and we all ordered different dishes. We started with the classic version of Tarte Flambe (the version with the ham). This flatbread was phenomenal and it was hard to share because I'm sure everyone wanted the whole thing to themselves. The hubby ordered Bay of Fundy Salmon and I, the Moules Frites (classic white wine). Although the salmon was nothing all too special, the mussels were so worth it! Amazing, I tell you. I love that they also give you a French baguette for dipping. I've ordered mussels frites at other places in town that don't include bread. You need something to soak up the sauce! I hope to make it back soon to try more items from the menu. read more

Point Brugge in a bigger space. (That's a good thing.) It's about the same menu, same good service levels - solid meal. We had mussels when we went on a Tuesday evening, my usual standby at the other location. (The lobster-Pernod sauce is good, but the white wine and garlic is the best.) Service was excellent. The space is larger than the other location, but it was still surprisingly packed on a Tuesday evening. Not sure exactly why, but I can't give them five stars. It's a solid establishment, but it's missing a kick to push me over the hump to five stars. Solid spot for a meal, though. read more

The mussels, the fries, the beer! I love this place. My favorite time to come here is for brunch on a Saturday or Sunday. I love the waffles and eggs benedict. They also have a salad with strawberries and fresh greens when strawberries are in season, which is an absolute must. The wait staff is always great, and the ambience is peaceful and low key. Definitely a favorite brunch spot in the East End. read more

A group of us decided to head over to Park Bruges for a casual lunch on a recent summer afternoon. For the majority of the group, it was their first time at the restaurant - this was my second. The menu is similar to their sister restaurant, Pointe Bruges, but the ambiance of the restaurant is quite different, in that Park Bruges doesn't seem as inviting as is its counterpart. I enjoyed their 1/2 portion of mussels in a spicy curry sauce. Served with French bread on the side, it is absolutely perfect. The flavors are bold, yet not overpowering. I couldn't resist but finish off all of the broth in the bowl - it's just that tasty. The bar has a large selection of beer on tap and in bottle. I paired a lovely Belgian beer with my mussels. I could have had another, but had to go back to work :( read more

Yeah for fries and beer! Met some friends for a casual lunch and was very impressed with the Belgium beer selection! The grilled cheese is buttery, melty delicious and I couldn't stop myself from finishing it! The fries are crisp and salty....everything I want in a french fry! It was a perfect combo of cold beer and salty comfort food! (My finace got the mussels, which he still dreams about! Yep that good!) read more

Last night was maybe my fourth time at Park Bruges and they have all been great experiences. The menu is nearly identical to its Point Breeze sibling (which I also love). Overall, I think I prefer Point Brugge, but I can't exactly pinpoint the reason. Maybe my experiences have been just a bit better there. It could also be because the restaurant is a block from my house. Anyway, Park Bruges offers a mix of sandwiches, salads, and larger entrees. Two other items they are known for are poutine and mussels. I have had mussels at Point Brugge and they were great, so I would imagine the same would be true here. On my most recent trip (last night) I had the flat iron steak salad, which was delicious. In addition to the juicy, medium-rare steak, the salad came complete with bleu cheese, tomatoes, herbed potatoes, and a champagne vinaigrette. Totally awesome. In the past I have also had some of their pasta dishes which have all been excellent as well. Dessert items vary, but last night we had a flourless cake with raspberry mousse filling and, while one slice is large enough to share, I could have eaten literally the entire cake. It was that good. Service has always been great, too. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area. read more

This was our first time at Park Bruges. We've been to Pointe Brugges for brunch and felt the quality and service were on par at both locations. We sat outside and our party of 4 enjoyed a lovely meal. Two people ordered the steak and eggs, asking for the steak as medium rare, it was more medium. The third member of our group thoroughly enjoyed the Pulled Pork Chile Rojo. I had a salad and frites, FYI the "side" order of frites is freakin' huge. Like, dinner plate portion huge. We would definitely go back for brunch and to check out their dinner menu as well. This location seems to be less crowded then the Hastings St. venue and since they don't take reservations I would most likely choice the Park over the Pointe for that reason since both seem to be equally enjoyable. read more

Maybe the best burger I've ever had. The Bruges Burger was a small bit of braised short rib with Gouda on an excellent sourdough ish brioche. The burger was juicy and tasty and nothing short of perfect. Poutin was too salty for me, but replaced them with regular fries which were great! read more

Big fan! It has been SO LONG since I have been to a place with a solid Montreal poutine. We had no wait when we arrived on a Saturday afternoon, and were promptly greeted and sat. The brunch burger was delicious! The BLT was alright. Definitely will be back, worth a trip if you haven't been. read more

Enjoyed dinner here for the first time since the opening, and YUM. The restaurant seemed to be pretty crowded, but the host did a fantastic job of traffic control and really had people moving in quickly as tables were vacated. Our server was quick and friendly, and my seasonal draft beer (Penn Brewery Chocolate Stout) was fantastic. Partner and I split the tasty classic poutine, and then each had sandwiches (me: Southwest veggie burger, him: chicken sandwich). Both were good, but not as good as the poutine. My advice: get here early or late on the weekends, because the place isn't huge (though bigger than its sibling, Point Brugge) and I don't think they take reservations. The waiting area is pretty small (and right in front of the door), which led to some folks waiting in the vestibule. The bar area is sort of cramped and busy, meaning that if you can't grab a barstool, you're likely to be blocking traffic and moving out of the way quite a bit. Try the poutine and the beers on tap. I'm definitely coming back for a tarte flambe! read more

Well worth the trip out to Bryant Street in Highland Park. Be aware that Park Bruges does not take reservations, so your best bet is probably heading out for an early or late dinner. Otherwise, this place fills up fast and you may be stuck with a long wait. My boyfriend and I chose to dine here on Valentine's weekend, and had not trouble getting a table for 2 around 8:30pm. Great European beer selection, with nice wine and cocktail lists as well. The service was fabulous. I really wish I could remember our server's name...she was totally sweet and went out of her way to answer our questions about the menu. I'm not typically a fan of mussels, but these are not to be missed. We went with the green curry preparation as per the recommendation of our server. After we finished off the mussels, we used the loaves of crusty bread to mop up the rest of the curry. If curry isn't your thing, they offer two other sauces: classic white wine and spicy creole. For our meals, I went with the Grouper Special, while my boyfriend chose the Faroe Island Salmon. We both really enjoyed our meals, although next time I would probably order the salmon myself! The portions were generous, especially for the price. This is a solid spot for a casual, laid-back dining experience. Great food options, friendly service, and usually pretty easy to find parking on Bryant Street. Can't wait to come back soon for brunch! read more

Excellent! Friendly wait staff. Clean and contemporary. Try the mussels with the beurblanc sauce and crusty French bread...amazing! read more

This place is cute restaurant in a quiet neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Before I entered the restaurant there were people eating lunch on the tables outside-which had a very inviting and relaxing cafe feel to the place. As soon as we entered there was someone ready to seat us and we were fortunate enough to grab a window seat (the weather was absolutely beautiful) We ordered a small portion of the white moules for an appetizer. The mussels are served in a warm white wine sauce and comes with a side of fresh bread. We devoured the mussels then managed to dip the bread in the left over sauce. For individual dishes we ordered the chorizo tarte flambee, steak frites, and brisket sandwich. The tarte flambee was a little too large for me to finish ( and I am a big eater- so it was perfect for me to take home) What I loved most about it was the crunch of the flatbread. Sometimes the bread gets too soggy with fresh ingredients but this had a good balance between the toppings and the baked bread. All the portions were generous and not too salty. I am a french fry killer and i thought the ones served with the steak were perfectly crispy- loved it. I also ordered a mojito for lunch and it was delicious. It was a little on the sweeter side but still very fresh and refreshing. The service at this place was made the whole experience so much better. They were always making sure we had enough water, drinks, napkins at our table and were ready to clear plates at the right time. I've been to Point Brugge a few times but it was my first time here. Park has more seating and more variety on their menu. read more

Oh my. Where do I begin? Well in my eyes it starts with the mussels. White. Wine Garlic Sauce is to die for. A tradition I have with my beautiful mom as we sit and enjoy a night out with each other. The poutine fresh from our great neighbors up in Montreal is excellent. Park Brogues never disappoints. It is a little small but you know what the tightness hasn't bothered me yet, so nothing to complain about here. A Pittsburgh MUST if you haven't tried it out yet. MC read more

We arrived here at 2pm on a Saturday and after reading all the raving reviews I expected a decent wait. It was actually very quick seating into a casual dining area. They have a great selection of seasonal beers and cocktails. The menu is simple and to-the-point which makes for an easy decision making process. Our server was nice but in a forced sort of way, not very personable. I'll be back in to try new menu items. read more
