Had the bib gourmand menu and it was surprisingly good. I had the pea mush, fish of the day and creme brulee and my fiance got the seafood chowder, pork dish and chocolate mousse. Everything was really good. We enjoyed this restaurant more than another 1 starred Michelin in Belgium.

Does not belong in the Michelin guide right now.
Service below par. Food average. Cost very high.
There are many significantly better options in Bruges, particularly Michelin guide options.
