There are about 8 different preparations for the mussels - so you'll find one you like. There is a prefix menu that is probably worth checking out. They have the mussels there as well. Our friend tried a fish dish off that menu and was pleased. We talked to the owner for a bit. Very friendly. Great place to enjoy a meal outside.

We spent about $60 for 2 people and had a huge bowl of mussels in broth and 2 local beers. The mussels were fresh and tasty but don't drink the broth. It's incredible salty. The mussels also came with fries. Beers were great since we went to the De Halve Maan brewery earlier that day. Overall, a cute place to enjoy a nice meal but it is pricer than other nearby restaurants.

The meat in the stew was tender, but it was a little too sweet for me. The french fries were good, but not great. The woman who seemed to run the restaurant was accommodating but a little stiff.

Upon entering, we were greeted by some staring guests which was totally fine, and seemingly normal in Bruges, but the next face we'd hoped would be smiling (the bartender/wait staff) wasn't. She basically started shaking her head no before we entered and upon a brief inquiry, she shuffled us out of the door and said they were closing. A real bummer as we were excited about the possibility of trying this seemingly really cute restaurant right outside of Minnewater Park. Oh well, on to the next option we went! I'd recommend avoiding this one in the evening hours.
