Bistro Bruut

Had a wine paring dinner menu, food is exceptional! Very cozy place, chef is very nice and funny, has very good knowledge and concept about his menu, the sommelier is very good, but may be too many natural wine which is just not my taste.

What a special place! The chef will attest that this restaurant is not "fancy." And while there are no white tablecloths or synchronized service and dishes appear more on the wholesome side; make no mistake. There is incredible technique and complexity on every plate. Of course it goes without saying that a meal here is best enjoyed with a wine pairing. It is clear how closely the chef and sommelier work together to create the entire dining experience. Lastly, I don't really like sweets or desserts but I will never forget that rolled crepe.

Absolute 10 out of 10. So creative but never at the expense of deliciousness. Lunch was a 5-course set menu and the chef made sure to visit every table to provide info on the dishes being served. I am also a huge fan of the vibe/decor of Bruut. Very cool.

Food: Excellent! They offer a “surprise” tasting menu (no substitutions allowed). Mix of meat, fish, and veggie courses, and everything is dressed up with fresh edible herbs and flowers. Note that the website says that if you want to upgrade the lunch tasting menu that you need to request with your reservation, but they offered the upgrade to me on the spot. Service: Server was nice; every course was well explained. The chef even came out to explain one of the dishes. Atmosphere: Beautiful! Not sure you can go wrong in Bruges. The restaurant is located in a quieter section, so it was really nice to sit outside and enjoy the meal!

A great find. Starting from the rustic setting, the Grower Champagne (Bistrøtage B19, on par with Grand Cru Cuvées) and the delightful dishes. Among the highlights was the salad, inspiried by Michael Bras' canonical "Gargouillou", along with the monkfish and veal, where the carefully curated vegetable sidedishes almost stole the show. On a side-note for potentiell guests: If more on the high-strung or thin-skinned side better steer clear, if you can not handle playful banter.

One of the best dining, food, and wine experiences I have ever had. The food was innovative, the wine pairings were perfect, and featured many natural wines that were some of the best I have ever tasted. Bruno was there at every dish, explaining, sharing his vision, and it made the experience so rich and truly next level. It's not bougie, but high level rustic, perfect, not pretentious. I could list every course and tell you how beautiful and thoughtful each one was, but he adapts the menu as ingredients come available, so, don't walk, RUN to Bruut if you are in the COUNTRY of Belgium. It will be the best food experience you have had in a long time. I will be back, without a doubt.

It was an amazing dining experience in Bruges. I was so lucky that I could make a reservation and it was the best meal during my stay. The dishes were unique and tasty, together with the wine pairing. The staff was very friendly too.

Fantastic lunch experience. Cosy friendly atmosphere. All dishes were really innovative yet well thought through and coherent, in particular thanks to the amazing sauces. Difficult to pick one in particular but the burnt leek with mussel sauce and the fig on fig on fig dessert were outstanding!
