Maximiliaan van Oosternrijk

Excellent service. Beautiful, relaxing, soothing view. Splendid food. The poached salmon was not at all «fishy,» the pâté meant serious business, and the options for the pre-​fixe meal were well and varied.

Le Cadre est très agréable, le personnel efficace et sympathique, les plats sont correctes, mais comme dans tout Bruges assez cher pour ce que c’est!

My wife and I were looking for a place serving dinner on New Year’s Day and there aren’t many in Bruges but Maximiliaan’s was open. They gave us a great table by a fire place and the atmosphere in the restaurant was very old world style like most of Bruges which is just what we like.
We ordered our drinks and also ordered an appetizer of shrimp scampi that was really, really tasty. For the main course my wife ordered the rump steak (cooked medium) with a tomato sauce (she has a gluten allergy and the waiter let us know the other sauces have wheat in them). I ordered the rump steak with peppercorn sauce cooked medium rare and it was cooked to perfection and the sauce was fantastic! My wife’s steak was a good size but only about ¾″ thick while mine was almost 2″ thick (maybe the thickness is based on the sauce you choose or the way you want it cooked???). At the end of the meal I did say that I would consider that dinner to be one of only a handful of great steaks I have had in my time.
I would highly recommend this place!

Great place for food in south Bruges. The atmosphere is nice the staff spoke English and the food was exceptional.
