This is a very small restaurant with only one man running everything, front of house, cooking, serving etc. It is calm, dignified and the food is delicious. A lovely evening spent in this historic converted crypt. Thank you.

There was little atmosphere. The food was disappointing- maybe the chef was having a bad day. Onion soup was bland, the cheese tasteless. There was little love in the cooking, and it showed in the rabbit dish. The beer and the bill were fine. Sorry if I sound grumpy, but the reviews all sounded positive..

Nice chief and good food. I had a healthy portion of the mussels and my wife had the beef stew. Other items looked good as well.

We had fish and mussels. The food was great. the place was much less crowded than most. A reservation is still required. The staff is genuinely invested in making us feel at home and cared for. We will surely come again if we get the chance.

The ambience is very calm and personal. We were fascinated by how one single person can create such an amazing place :)

Had a great dining experience at Curiosa. Michael is a gracious and attentive host. The food was excellent. Highly recommend the fish soup. The setting, a cool 16th century cellar, was a welcome change from the hot, busy tourist activities of the day.

We had a lovely time at Curiosa, and wish we lived here so we could return. The ambience was wonderful. I am deaf in one ear and, for once, I didn’t struggle to hear conversation! Our server was great … accommodating and kind. Food was delicious, and prices were quite reasonable. It was a perfect way to end our stay in Bruges! I highly recommend the restaurant.

The vaulted cellar is very atmospheric, but the restaurant was very quiet the night we eat there. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. The service was a little slow, since one person seemed to be doing everything.

Micheal is wonderful but the food especially the fries weren't great. Went to the toilet and the smell and hygiene in the ladies was horrible, 3rd time I've been here will not be visiting again, clean your act up Micheal.

This place offered us a cozy, personal quiet dinner experience with delicious food. Quiet enough to have a conversation without talking above the din of a noisy restaurant. Excellent starters and mains. We would return for sure!

I was expecting a bit more from this experience, considering the high ratings. Food was tasty, but nothing extraordinary. the offer on the Fork is available to anyone on the restaurant menu, so no big deal here. the waiter/chef/everything was nice, his manicure is awful though...I didn't like the atmosphere, maybe also because on our time slot it was basically empty.

The guy working served drinks, made the food, attending to tables all on his own! Very nice food. Could do with some background music to improve the ambience though

Nice service and a great location, but a rather gloomy ambiance. The dinner was nothing special, and the presentation of the dishes was minimalistic. Overall, an average experience.

My wife and two teenage daughters had an amazingly relaxed and wonderful meal at Curiosa. Our host, chef and waiter, he was all three, was able to make our meal perfect due to his relaxed, and easy manner. To follow that, the meal was fantastic. The location is bang in the centre of Bruge, which is a busy place, you wouldn’t know it as there is a centre of calm in this magical location.

We booked a lunch time table for two and were delighted to escape the crowds into the cool calm quiet cellar of Curiosa. We were served quickly with great quality local dishes; my wife had shrimp croquettes and I had the fish pot. Much better quality, value and service than the tourist traps in the squares .

This is an excellent restaurant, spacious with a limited number of tables . Booking is recommended. The food and service are first class . Menu is very much Flemish orientated and it shows with the care and expertise that is used by the chef to create the dishes . The restaurant offers a range of fixed priced as well as flexible menus and overall the prices are very good and fair . Beers and wines on offer are good . Wine choice more limited but very good. Well worth a visit , but book .

a few years ago we ate at curiosa and it was soooo good we kept coming back (from holland to belgium) the host is very friendly as well. you have to make reservations because it is fully booked all the time.
