Definitely worth a try, and I am very glad to have been able to experience the ORIGINAL fries in Belgium, but they're not my favorite.

I tried one of their waffles with Nutella and strawberries and also tried a cappuccino here. The waffle was prepared fresh with the batter that was pre sectioned. For clarification, there are two types of "Belgian waffles" including the Liege waffle and the Brussels waffle. The ones here were more similar to the Liege variety, which is a bit gooier (not crunchy), less fluffly/more dense, and slightly sweet in the batter itself. I thought these waffles were quite accurate knowing that and while it isn't something I particularly crave, it did satisfy the curiosity to try a Belgian waffle. The cappuccino was a tad weak with the espresso but otherwise what you would expect and could be sweetened on your own. The spot was quick to prepare the items and was indeed a hole in the wall place with a small seating area. Good stop for a quick grab-n-go stop without crazy lines. In general, I find food to be subpar in tourist towns like this where there are limited options, minimal competition, and generally good traffic. This is slightly removed from market square and the center of all the attractions which had the advantage of quick turnaround and little wait times but I felt for the foods we ordered, they'd likely be similar everywhere.

But we later found that to be the case with most restaurants in Bruges so maybe that's just the culture here. So that is fine. The burgers arrived hot and presentation was very nice and looked delicious. Sadly, taste-wise, the burgers were kinda meh. Not like a veggie burger with distinct beans/veggies/rice or an Impossible burger that is meat-like. It was sorta soft and kinda generic-tasting. But it wasn't bad. Just meh. The fries were delicious but I guess that is to be expected. It was a satisfying meal but I guess the veggie burger movement is still somewhat nascent here and will likely get better with time. Would I return if I am in Bruges again? Yes, I would.

There were two servers who helped us, and they both spoke English well and were very nice. We opted to sit outside. The Flemish beef stew was ok. It was very salty. The meat was on the tough side. The Belgian fries were great though. In the States we have fries with ketchup, but they have it with mayo. It was interesting to try. I asked for the steak to be cooked medium rare, and it was more well done. Sigh. It's such a disappointment when they don't cook it to your preference. We didn't send it back because we didn't want to waste food. We just tried our best to finish what we could and took leftovers home. Yes, they did provide some take away "boxes".

The gap was filled by the European equivalent Quick Burger. This is not a name I was familiar with so let me introduce you . Quick burger is located in Market Square in the centre of Bruges. You can eat inside or out if the weather is good. Its location overlooks the whole of the square so you get a great view of Bruges busy life whilst admiring the architecture of The Belfry and Provinciaal Hof at the opposite end of the square. Food is typical of the type of McDonalds although I found the service to be quite slow. One thing I particulary found good about this place was the lack of salt on the fries. I like salt but I never add it to food and I find it quite annoying if you order fries and they come laced with salt. However, if you want salt on your fries it is available seperately. Language is not a problem here and I was fascinated by the young girl who served me as she spoke to me in perfect English and whilst I was waiting took another order in French whilst talking to her colleagues in Flemish. This is a very popular and busy Restaurant and if you have picky kids who don't like anything unusual you should find this place a hit. Video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VG9kBTgYZvo

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.
