Great place to eat out of the way from crowds. Open all day. Pasta Prosciutto and Fromaggi was amazing! Hot, creamy and delicious! Wifi avail and covered outdoor seating with heater if needed. Service was a little slow.

Thank god this restaurant was open! We arrived in Brugge too late for the Market and wandered around trying to find a place to eat — most places closed their kitchens either at 2 or 2:30pm. So it was with a grateful cheer from our tummies that we saw a sign in this restaurant that said the kitchen was open. The restaurant was also super spacious with a huge dining option on the 2nd floor and tons of outside seating, and you could see the spire and hear the bells from Saint Salvatore Cathedral. This restaurant also had quite a few vegetarian options — pasta if you wanted something hot and salads for cold plates, so it ticked that box. I ordered hot lemon with honey(€ 5.70) which was freshly squeezed and just awesomely comforting on a cold afternoon.(Another person who tasted it, said it was too tart for them — but I found it perfect, so gentle reader, make of that what you will!) So for food choices, a co-diner and I split the fish stew and an apple + ice cream crêpe. The vegetarian diner got veggie pasta and the 4th member of the group got pasta with frommaggi and prosciutto. The fish stew we shared was AMAZING! It was a layer of salmon and a white fish(maybe cod) in a beautiful tomato and wine broth with just the perfect amount of herbs and cheese to add an additional depth of flavour. We both loved the dish and finished it so quickly that a 3rd diner didn’t even get to taste a bite! Ditto for the apple and ice-cream waffle — just simply perfect and scrumptious! I also tasted the other two options and the vegetarian pasta blew me away — the sauce was gentle and creamy and not too cheesy and the roasted vegetables melded beautifully with the pasta. The cheese and prosciutto pasta was also great — I found the prosciutto a bit too salty for my taste, but no complaints with the pasta(perfectly al dente) or the cheese sauce. So yes, this place is probably touristy as heck, but for all 4 of us — it hit the sweet spot and it was great food, and service with a smile!
