    4.5/10

    We each ordered the "Scottich' ribeye medium rare. What we received was raw. Only cooked enough to be slightly brown on outside. So raw it was very difficult to even slice through with the knife. Sent back and was returned burnt back throughout. They then sent us 5 very small slices of pre cut meat that were perfectly done but no where near the quantity of the two 45 euro steaks we had ordered. The original serving was undoubtably some kind of meat but, in hindsight, seriously doubt it was ribeye. Was not even shaped like any ribeye I have ever seen. Maybe the "Scottish" qualifier should have been a clue? Too bad because this establishment was recommended to us by a friend who had dined there. Hopefully a one time fail,on their part but with so many other choices in Brugges, I will not be returning.

    We were celebrating a big birthday and had booked this restaurant on recommendation. There was clearly some family drama going on in the evening where we had staff throwing chairs and drinks and shouting. It was rally quite disturbing and whilst we had issues with our food we didn't feel we could raise this given the local drama and the potential omseqien es

    Food was amazing. Beautifully cooked steak. Lamb was exceptional. Cooked on open flame in front of customers inside. Quite a small place so book ahead. Wasn’t best quality interior, but the open flame cooking and quality of the food makes up for it easily.

    Great tasty Flemish stew sat outside on the street corner watching the world go by. Service was attentive but not overbearing. Price OK. Inside looked quite cosy.

    It’s only small, but the staff work hard to accommodate you with a friendly face and cheery smile. The food is prepared on the grill near your table - so just sit back, enjoy the good quality food and revel in the ambiance created therein. Highly recommended. Andrew

    Loved this place. Yes it is small inside but it has outdoor seating in the right weather. The staff were brilliant and as soon as we were seated offered to move us to a cooler table as the open fill was very hot. The food was well cooked and plentiful. The restaurant is easy to get to. Will definitely go back when/if we come back to Brugge

    It’s always great to find somewhere the locals seem to eat when you are in a very touristy town. A Gem in Brugge 👌 💯

    My wife and I went for dinner. We can definitely recommend the Chateaubriand, cooked to perfection, one of the best we ever ate. The place is very small, so everyone is sitting quite close to each other, but that’s not a real problem. Lighting could be a bit cozier.

    The ambience- the staff and the FOOD! From grilled shrimp to mix meat kabobs, sirloin and salad, followed by Dame Blanche. SUPERB! Real furious fire cooks most meals while you watch the show! The space is intimate and the staff was superb! Would eat there again today if we were in Brugge! An A+! Make a reservation and go!
