Bistro Christophe

Excellent casual dining experience with quality food. Very nice evening experience and comfortable environment. We did have our Concierge make a reservation as it is a small intimate place. The Dover Sole was wonderful and a simple straightforward presentation. Highly recommend!

The table setting and overall atmosphere were excellent and suggested a refined dining experience. Unfortunately, the service did not reflect the same level of care. Despite arriving and ordering earlier, and choosing only main courses, we waited over one hour and 20 minutes while tables seated after us were fully served starter and mains (maybe chef friends)?. During this time, there was no proactive communication, no double check, and no service recovery gesture. When we asked for an update, the response was simply “few minutes, the chef is busy,” without apology or acknowledgment of the delay. The veal dish was technically good but did not reflect the description of a medallion no justify the extended wait. The rabbit was served on the bone, which was not clearly communicated in advance and would have benefited from clearer explanation and final quality checks. Additionally, a concerning hygiene issue was observed when a member of staff coughed into their hand several times and continued service without washing or sanitizing their hands. With a final bill of €108 for two main courses, one dessert chocolate mousse, three glasses of wine, and still water, the overall experience did not align with the pricing or the expectations set by the environment. A gratuity was nonetheless left, as courtesy and professionalism are values we always uphold. There is clear potential, but greater consistency between atmosphere, service standards, and execution is needed to deliver a complete guest experience.

We are frequently in Brugge to visit family but didn’t eat here before. The restaurant is pleasantly decorated. We had sole with fries and salad. Absolutely delicious with an excellent quality fish cooked to perfection. We will come here more often in the future as it serves the type of well prepared comfort food we love. In addition the restaurant is quiet and tastefully detailed.

We loved our dinner at Bistro Christophe. The bread is delicious and served in a paper bag which was a first for us! The deep fried carrots and bearnaise sauce as a gift from the chef (another first) were also delicious. Recommend the steak tartar, the beef stew and the dame Blanche. Fabulous service from Jan who kept us amused. Thank you to the team!

I ordered a menu set for 56€. Overall : Good place, but the wait between the dish could be long If you're really hungry and have quite a big stomach, menu set is the good choice. They served 1 compliment snack, 1 bite, 1 starter, 1 main, and 1 dessert. For me, snack, bite, and starter are okay but not great, similar to any restaurants you can find. The dessert is quite good. But I am highly recommend the main dish, I had 'Catch of the day', the dish is great but without the menu set price, the dish alone might be abit too expensive.

My husband and I had our Xmas eve dinner here. It’s a prefix. Every dish was delicious. My favorite was the soup and smoked salmon appetizer. The risotto and baked venison were tasty as well. I love the lemon curd in the dessert. Strong citrusy taste with a hint of bitterness from the zest balances the mousse well. The paired wines were amazing. My husband was impressed with the Rioja.

Fantastic food and good service. They offered fresh bread and fried carrots to start, we ordered salmon and rabbit, and had a bottle of wine. The bread was cut at the front of the restaurant but then placed in a paper bag which was a bit random. The fried carrots were surprising and delicious. Salmon was cooked to perfection and had a unique smoky flavour. Rabbit was tender and flavourful. For desert we made the mistake of ordering the tiramisu which can only be described as bizarre. Overall would love to come back.

This was our favorite restaurant on our stay in Bruges. Our dinner was EXCELLENT! Actually it was the best meal we had in 5 weeks in Europe. The service was wonderful too!

Wonderful meal at Christophe, a Christmas eve special prix fixe; with the wine pairing that consisted of quality european wines, each dish got better as the night went on. The venison and the Northsea fish soup were our favorites. Compliments on such a lovely lemon curd for dessert. Can't wait to try their everyday menu.

Amazing food and portion for the price. Staff was friendly and can speak Dutch, English, and French. I ordered the vegetarian linguine with white asparagus and it delicious. There's also parking (limited) near the restaurant. Would recommend to others and love to come back!

My husband and I chose Christophe for our final meal in Bruges. We stopped in during the day to make a reservation, though that probably wasn't necessary for a Tuesday night as the restaurant wasn't too crowded when we arrived for dinner. The restaurant is really pretty and romantic; perfect for a date. One suggestion I have would be to update the background music; it was a collection of slow love songs from the 80s. Think Simply Red, Roxette, Chris de Burgh and the like. Painful on the ears but also kind of hilarious. We started with a shared plate of cheese croquettes, which the kitchen split between two plates - very nice! My husband and I agreed that no other croquette came close to Christophe's version. It was absolutely delicious! I wasn't going to leave Belgium without trying the beef stew, which I ordered for my main course. Naturally, like all things in Belgium, it came with a side of fries. I really liked my dish and would recommend it. My husband had the cioppino which he enjoyed as well. For dessert, we shared the crème brûlée, which was nice, though I wish I had gone with my original choice of ice cream with chocolate sauce. Overall, lovely meal and definitely one I'd recommend to friends or family planning a visit to Bruges.

A place with classy ambiance, and open later than most, hence the 3 stars - BUT the service completely ruined it for us. We watched our server (very thin, a flap of blonde hair) actively avoid eye contact while we went without water, wine, or beer for the duration of nearly our entire meal, and a good 30 minutes afterwards. I was patient; I know European dinners are more casual than other countries and I actually appreciate the leisure given them. The restaurant was also busy. But I watched our server do side work repeatedly while we have appreciated even minimal attention for a beverage. The second server actually did the bare bones of our server's work for him, on top of serving his own tables - delivering our meals, and finally even delivering his check for him after I had to get up and ask for it 30 minutes after we'd stopped eating (our server was leaning on the bar near the water glasses). I'd hoped for a glass of wine with or even after dinner, or just water by the end, but gave up. A real disappointment.

Lets start by saying that I am a very picky eater deom the states. I was apprehensive based on the various reviews. I am a steak guy and I wanted steak frites. The steak was great but my wife order the Boulliabase and although I prefer a good steak over seafood, I was blown away. One of the top meals Ive ever had. Must try

Kind and professional welcome. The tables are not to close to each other. We went there for lunch, choice a la carte or lunch menu. We took the lunch and it was perfect combination of quality with a innovative touch. Red wine per glass was a little to warm, but that would be the only remark. A place to recommend and I am looking g forward to try it at night.

My family was told to "f*ck off" by the wait staff... We arrived shortly after opening (6pm) with our 5 month-old in tow. It was one of two restaurants recommended by our B&B, which we were very happy with and eager to take their recommendation. We were not told, however, that a reservation was required. After finding out that Mojo was closed (the owners were on vacation), we wandered over to Christophe looking for our first meal since a late breakfast. Arriving 15 minutes after their 6pm opening, we found only one other couple seated for dinner and at least 2 dozen open tables. My wife inquired about dinner and was told that we would not be accommodated as we did not have a reservation. She was surprised and told me (waiting outside with the baby) to merely look at the empty restaurant. I peeked a look around the corner, and then, outside of the restaurant, stated to her that we should tell our B&B not to recommend Christophe given the hassle. As we started to walk away the host or waiter (6ft +, 30-ish years old, slightly overweight with round face and reddish-brown hair) bothered to follow us out the door to yell down the street "f*ck off." When I returned to the restaurant to ask him his name he refused to give it, insisted that he was in charge of the restaurant, and told me to leave. Feeling threatened by his size and unwarranted aggression, I did so. I have no idea if this man is really the restaurant's owner or manager, but if so what a sad thought.

Our Hotel, Hotel Aragon, recommended this restaurant and we were very happy. The menu has a variety of great selections and the dinner was excellent and service fantastic as well. We had their Filet special of the evening, there was plenty, even enough to take some back to our hotel (our room was awesome and had a kitchenette, the leftovers will be a fine midnight snack). Mathias was our server and very attentive to us as well as all of his patrons. The rest of the staff was friendly and also very accommodating. We arrived late Friday evening and did not feel rushed by any means, they closed at 1:00 in the morning. He had great recommendations for dinner and dessert. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed. There are not too many tables like other small bistros so you do not feel cramped, it's very comfortable. We highly recommend this restaurant!

We had the monkfish plate and the Filet Pur with cognac sauce. Both were delicious. Each plate was such a delicacy.. very presentable and made to perfection. The atmosphere and service were good too. We would definitely go back if we lived in this beautiful city.

Small bistro with delicious food. I had the filet mignon, cooked perfectly rare. My husband had the house made beef stew and he loved it. The main dishes come with Belgian fries (big portion) and salad which are also scrumptious. We walked in but you may want to make a reservation on a busy night. Great spot just a few minutes walk from the center of the city.

Simply good, a bit pricey however, if you want to indulge yourself late night with a first class meal than this is the place. The beer selection is good while I must recommend the Roquefort... Made by monks and at 10% you can't go wrong. I had a lovely dinner in a nicely decorated comfortable establishment... Worth a visit!!!

It was a amazing place. We ordered one starter, one main dish, one desert for a couple. Perfect portion. The starter was the best, a kind of intestine fries with salad. Really amazing if you are into it. Main dish, filet mignot was ok, but with really nice mushroom source. Profiteroles desert was fine as well. Very nice fine dining atmosphere. Good service in english or frensh as well.

Friendly and accomodating. Tasty food and open until 1am. Good service.
