Bruges · Helmstraat

Wednesday to Friday from 17:30 · Saturday and Sunday from 12:00 · over-14s only

A small restaurant on the Helmstraat, five minutes from the Markt, that presents itself as a living room: brick walls, checked tablecloths and grandmother's Flemish cooking, made without hurry. In the afternoon it also serves waffles and pancakes.

The menu

The house dish is stoofvlees, beef stewed in beer, with chips. There are two rules to know: dishes are not shared and starters are only served with a main course. They have a good selection of Belgian beers.

House rules

They only admit over-14s and there is no wifi, on purpose. Booking is done on their website with a card guarantee: if you don't show up, they charge 35 €. Without a booking you can try your luck and wait for a table. It opens Wednesday to Friday in the evening, from 17:30, and Saturday and Sunday from 12:00.

What to order: the beef stew (stoofvlees), the dish the house is proudest of
