While in Belgium we did a day trip to Bruges and stopped into De Gastro for lunch…read more Although they only have a few outside tables and it's a small sidewalk, we always appreciate having the option to vibe outside and ordered a iced peach tea, coke zero, and a Flemish stew. The Flemish stew was amazing. The honey wasn't too hungry so we shared a bowl of it and the portion size was perfect, along with it being one of the most delicious stews we had while in Belgium. The service was helpful and prompt and I can't speak highly enough about our experience. So if you're visiting Bruges, De Gastro is a must-eat stop during your visit.

The menu had a good selection of traditional Belgian food which all tasted delicious. My favorite were the mussels for sure. SO many and for such an affordable price! The stew I got as well was hearty and felt very warming. Overall, I couldn't recommend this spot more if you're in the area - thanks, De Gastro!

My husband and I shared the giant mixed grill skewer with an additional side of potatoes with garlic butter. All the meats were perfectly grilled. Very tender, flavorful and succulent. The fries, salad, and garlic potatoes were delicious as well. Very generous portions. I couldn't finish all my potatoes. So needless to say we didn't have room for dessert. Maybe we'll come back later for some crème brûlée and chocolate mousse. The service was great and prices are reasonable. Will definitely return.

They're somewhere in between tourist traps and standard brasserie's. The food is ok if you're hungry and the beach-view is always a plus. But since they're located in a busy neighborhood they don't put any effort in it at all. It's a sad thing, these places got so much more potential.

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.
