I booked the Kardinaalshof for my husband's 60th birthday as my first choice wasn't open - and I am so glad it wasn't! We chose the 35 euro menu with the wine pairing and were treated to a fabulous amuse bouche followed by three exquisitely cooked and presented courses. The balance of flavours was divine and the wines selected were... More

Service is great, this is obviously a very nice restaurant. BUT. The first course was raw pike, the second course was marinated (cold) mackerel, the third course was halibut coated with sesame seeds which were overpowering, and the final course was pigeon. The pigeon was actually cooked very well but its difficult to get the image of flying rats out... More

From the contact by email prior our arrival to the warmth upon leaving, this was a wonderful experience. The hosts were charming and extremely professional. Our meal tasted and looked beautiful. We had the matching wines and they were very well matched to the food, a great selection. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. A highlight of our trip... More

The staff were attentive and knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. The food was precise and full of flavour. The price was reasonable and though we kept it... More

This restaurant is a delightful experience for the discerning foodie. A sophisticated decor, excellent food beautifully presented with accompanying wines and a charming owner called Frankie who makes you feel welcome from the moment you step through the door (his English is very good too). We would advise that you book to avoid disappointment. More

Not one to write often but this restaurant was faultless; service, food, ambience. Had the taster menu and would thoroughly recommend. Beats many michelin star restaurants we've been to. Great for a special occasion, but if on holiday in Bruges think of an occasion so that you can give this place a try. More
