The restaurant was decent, nothing extraordinary. The chef, who was also the owner, was very friendly and welcoming, and so were the waiters. The atmosphere was nice and quiet. However, the food options were very limited, either pork-based or seafood. The seafood was decent.

I wouldn't recommend it to those who don't eat pork. Additionally, I noticed that one of the staff members would typically open the door for guests as they exited, a common courtesy in a Michelin-starred restaurant. However, when it was our turn, he didn't. While this might seem like a minor detail, the inconsistency in service made us feel a bit discriminated against due to our dietary preferences."

We had a wonderful meal here.  The quality of the ingredients, combinations of flavours and execution of each course were of the highest quality.  The small dining room had a lovely ambience and the friendly and attentive service made it feel like you were eating with a family who wanted to make sure you had a great evening.  We had the flat lands menu and wine pairing and these were exceptional value for money for the overall quality of the meal and the service.

A great tasting menu without being overwhelmed! 3 courses with a few small surprises. The langoustine was a fantastic starter, good flavors. The rooster was unique!

There is an option of doing a cheese tasting (the cheese selection looked great).

I do wish there were some more options for wines by the glass (the wine was good).

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Zet Joe restaurant in Brugge, and I must say that it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The quality of the food was simply outstanding, with every dish bursting with flavor and expertly prepared with the freshest ingredients.

What really stood out to me, however, was the presentation of each dish. Every plate was like a work of art, with meticulous attention to detail and a beautiful arrangement that was almost too pretty to eat (but trust me, I ate every last bite!).

The atmosphere of the restaurant was also fantastic, with a cozy and welcoming ambiance that made us feel right at home.
