Cafedraal

We walked in for a quick lunch after the place across the street would not serve us. We ordered the pasta with ham and zucchini. It was lovely. One one the best dishes we have had during our trip. We also had the apple beignets. Incredible.

Great atmosphere and it’s excellent for a date night. We were a group of 27 people and the service was fast enough to keep up with our demands. The food was on the okay side, decent wine selections and the desserts felt not on the Belgium quality side.

We were parked nearby and I desperately needed a coffee — so stopped here and then thanks to Unilocal reviews also found out it was the restaurant that was featured in the In Bruges movie. The staff were kind enough to point out the table Colin Farrell sat in during the movie.
My cappuccino was awesome — perfectly brewed and accompanied by almond orange cookies, a sweet roll and to Toblerone. Cost was € 4.50 and another of my dining companions got a glass of red wine, which he said was fantastic!
Too bad we were short of time, but want to come back and eat here!

This place was really close to our b & b. Also, I read that it was in the movie In Bruges that we loved.
We were allowed to pick or outside seat and picked a lovely spot against the side wall under a canopy. Very romantic.
I’ll start by saying we loved our entrees, he had cod and I had sole fillets. We ordered a carafe of wine that ended up being a light red, not my first choice, but we were confused with the translation.
We did not order a starter as there really wasn’t anything we both wanted or could share (with one non meat eater)
They brought bread and prawns to start. I tried to ear the prawns but they were too fishy for me.
Menu was pricey, but atmosphere was nice and place was really popular with locals– we didn’t hear any other languages but the Flemish.
Overall, the experience was very good. I’m not sure my travel budget allows for expensive places like this if I’m not“wow’ed”

Delicious fresh food and wonderful renovation in Brugges perfectly blending a modern edge with old world warmth. So glad our Belgian friends brought us here for a delightful meal together! The dishes were original yet familiar. Hope we make it back one day.

A cool and delicious restaurant located in the heart of Brugge. We first saw it included in the move «In Bruges» and thought it would be fun to check out. We ended up enjoying an excellent meal in a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere.
The amuse bouche was a smoky cod mousse with a touch of seaweed. It was quite ice, especially spread on the fresh bread brought to the table.
We started with a hefty portion of pan seared seabass served on a plate of fresh tomatoes, olive oil and green onions.
For my main, I tried the paling — wich is eel stewed in a green herb sauce. The texture was flaky like a well-​cooked with fish. The sauce was mild but flavorful, which is only right since the recipe calls for a dozen different spices.
Plenty of dessert choices, although the large portion for both courses left us too full to have any.
Oliver took excellent care of us at the table, and made sure we had a great time throughout the evening. He even showed us where the movie was filmed.
We sat downstairs where the a la carte menu is offered. You can also book a table upstairs and try the tasting menu.
The restaurant is only a couple of minutes walk from the belfry and well worth the experience.
