    Great restaurant. Wonderful service, delicious food and very large portions. We ordered the special for 2, but we could have shared this with 4 people.

    We visited the restaurant on Saturday, not much choice of food, cocktails were not good. But the food tasted good and the service was great. Price/performance was rather expensive

    The food was awful. Overcooked and overpriced steak, bruschetta and burger were both drowning in a weird bbq sauce, we were seated in the cold basement and no server checked on us for the entirety of our meal. We had so many lovely meals in Bruges. This was the worst.

    Two items we wanted were not available. Food was nice but we had to change meals and to others not our first choice. This was disappointing

    Our table was between under stairs and dark red ugly curtain. Although I have a reservation via your site it seems they have no information otherwise our table would be better location

    La PlanchaOwner

    Dear, You send us an email with a question to reservatie a table. We didn’t confirm the booking because we were full that day. We’ve received more then 700 mails in 1 week time. It isn’t possible to react on every demand. At your entrance you didn’t have any information about your booking, so we let you in to have diner with us in the mancave. The red ugly curtain is placed 2 weeks ago to keep the cold out at the window at our terrace. Sorry that you had this experience, even when we’ve tried to give you the place that wasn’t confirmed. Hope you like the food and I wish you a happy 2025! Best, Team La Plancha

    What a beautiful restaurant- we were made very welcome and enjoyed every minute of the evening. It was my girlfriend’s birthday and the manager gave her a bottle of wine on the house to wish her a happy birthday. That is the icing on the cake after an excellent meal.

    The steak is fantastic with great portions and reasonably priced for the good quality. I had a delicious bruschetta starter. The service was very good too and there was a lovely, amicable atmosphere. We were even gifted a rose by the owner.

    Very friendly staff. They welcome you like friends you are visiting. The food is delicious and choosing from the menu is very difficult. You want to try everything but you have to be careful because the portions are big. A lovely place for dinner in the historic part of Bruges.

    Food was incredible, as was the restaurant. Only thing to let it down was the service, very moody staff. Was told we ordered too much? Was told the tomahawk steak takes 40 minutes and that she wouldn’t get it. Got told to be quiet, when we was laughing. We also was not able to split the bill for card payments as we was in a group. I personally would not return, but I do recommend the food.

    The service was very good as was the quality of the food. Hope you have a good appetite when visiting as portions are very generous with the food being too good to leave, steaks were exceptional. Owner was also very hospital and very interested in the experience of all customers. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to others.

    This is a cute little restaurant close to the main square in Bruges. If you go here I would recommend ordering a steak, although all the meals that were coming out were large portions. We had a sharing tapas starter and fillet steak We did send the steak back once as it was too well done for us, they were very accommodating and couldn't have done better. Steak came back cooked to perfection and they gave us a free bottle of wine to take away! One thing I would complain about, which is why it is not a 5 star is they served tap water, in bottles that were not sealed with lime scale building around the top for €7 a bottle!!!!!!!

    This restaurant is five stars all the way. It’s a little gem in Brugge that I discovered by chance while researching places to eat during a two-day break. The food is out of this world. The staff and the owner are exceptionally pleasant. Despite being short-staffed, they did everything to please my wife and I, even giving us a free bottle of beer when I asked for Belgian beer recommendation. I highly recommend the Garlic Bread, Tomahawk, and the Gambas. You won’t regret it. The portions are very generous and the food is tasty. If you are a beer lover, go for the La Plancha beer. I think I’ve had my fair share of meat for the week. The portions are for two, and I did not eat the portion shown in the photo greedily.

    We had a great experience here. Yuri has combined his Belgian background with his wife’s Venezuelan influence into a formidable restaurant. The filet we had was excellent (and different than the standard steakhouse - in a god way). We will be back!

    The food, perfectly cooked steak, which is a joy, asked for medium rare, cooked medium rare. All the food was delicious (though hearty portions). Lovely waitress who was happy to chat through the menu with us. Excellent house beer. Apologies for knocking glass off next table and causing ‘smashing exit’!

    We booked two months early to coincide with our trip for a birthday weekend from the UK with friends. La Plancha cancelled our booking the day before. We walked past the restaurant to see it busy with customers. It left us no time to re book another central restaurant for a Saturday night. Do not waste your time booking this restaurant.

    Wonderful atmosphere, delicious and creative food and, most of all, the wonderful welcome from this family-owned establishment. Any dish labeled La Plancha will be excellent - muscles, pasta, tapas, beer! Highly recommend this restaurant for a very memorable meal.

    The restaurant is located a few hundred meters from the market square and has an outside terras on the street. The interior is warmly decorated and has friendly staff. The hidden gem is downstairs, where they have awarm cosy terras surrounded with flowers and a fish pond. The food was amazing, high quality ingredients and well balanced in its preparation. You can taste all the effort they put in creating every dish, and they are copious. You have to be really hungry if you want to eat a starter and a main dish. We had octopus and a fish stew, both amazing. We were lucky to meat and chat with both the owners and they told us about their passion to cook the real honest disches, all fresh ingredients and nicely flavoured. All the meat they have on the menu is cured for at least one year. A real gem in the tourist trap that Bruge can be. But at this place you won’t be disappointed. I’ll know where to go now next time in Brugge. Thanks Youri. Regards Chris and Tania.

    We were 2 plus a little boy, and ordered an assortment of entrees. Unfortunately nobody told us us the size of the plate which was clearly beyond a 2 people manageable size. The worst was however the quality of the food: 90% deep fried staff, all of which clearly not self made but supermarket frozen packs quality. Some of the fried sticks drowned in a little bowl of chilly con carne, which was more taco chips than beans, topped with a mass of poor ham drowned in mayonnaise and a sort of ketchup. Probably nice food for a group of 4 or 6 youngsters to drown too many beers, but sure not for a family.
