De Mangerie

My partner and i went for our Valentine’s Day dinner, and the service was absolutely amazing. From being greeted at the door, to having lovely conversations & the chef even handing us our coats at the end. The staff here really do go above and beyond.

Very cosy atmosphere and charming place. Attentive and very friendly staff, good recommendations and knowledge about the menu, dishes etc. I could try the wines by the glass to check if they would match my taste. The red Pinot noir like from Alto Adige was a good match to the Vitello. For the rest I got good recommendations on what beer I should Taste with the dishes. As only in Belgium you get beer pairing recommendations, I decided to enjoy this. Each dish was tasty and we did not need any salt not pepper, a perfect elegant and extraordinary variety of tastes. We had the menu with best of last 20 year signature dishes. Thank you! This was our best experience in Brügger among other same rated Michelin recommendation restaurants!

Undeserving 1-michelin star restaurant with very mediocre food, and not much innovation. The only dish that was above average standards was the fillet main dish, there was a good balance between savoury and sourness. However, the main course took way too long to serve! Almost 45 minutes, and the other main course which was the pigeon was so tough to chew on, and totally not worth the price! I opted for the vegetarian dish, and I remembered that they used the same dish to use as a 'sides' for the pigeon dish, to me, that is totally unacceptable for a michelin-starred restaurant. The vegetarian dish was also so-so, definitely not worth the 78 euro course meal price. Couldn't even focus on the desserts, as we were too disappointed by the end of our meal.

The food was amazing so delicious, the service from the waitress was amazing. The reason for the 4 star is the waiting time between the dishes was so long ridiculously long 45 min to be accurate. Not worth the long wait . Though the food was amazing!

You feel welcome the moment you enter this wonderful restaurant. The lady of the house is the perfect host to guide a lovely experience. We went with 7 and had a lovely culinary evening thanks to the husband and his team. Reservation needed

We were also lucky enough to eat here last night, celebrating my girlfriends 50th birthday. From start to finish we received generous service and we felt very welcome. We took the five course menu and it was quite a journey for us. We both chose prawn gyoza (delicious, quite vinegary but still enjoyable), sea bass ceviche (just amazing with the beetroot), chef’s signature dish (asparagus with Oude Brugge and pindasaus, good but not our favourite, didn’t really catch the cheese), then mains of lamb (oh my, the jus….) and monkfish (delicious flavours but a little heavy, such is monkfish) and smoked pineapple dessert which we both loved. Accompanied by a beautiful Italian white with Mediterranean herbs, loved that! Overall we had a great time and enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere very much. Thank you so much for making it a special night for us, we will happily recommend this place to anyone!

I enjoyed visiting this restaurant. What blew me away was the Hare that I had as a main. Apparently, there's only a 10 wk Hare season from mid November until early January .I highly recommend this dish. The chef takes pride in his food. My only suggestion would be that the Ramen dish is served hot and not luke warm. I personally wouldn't recommend this dish as someone who is a ramen snob! I would definitely recommend the scallops that were also delicious. Nice place and nice experience.

My wife and I recently visited from the U.K. for our 10th wedding anniversary and wanted something special and we weren’t disappointed. All the courses were lovely. I especially liked the Gyozas. The lady serving us was really friendly and attentive. Definitely recommended.
