We really enjoyed our meal in this lovely romantic restaurant in Bruges - we did not have a reservation but they were able to seat us, and it was a great place with wonderful food. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Four of us ate dinner here. Atmosphere was very nice, casual but classy. Food clearly was prepared with extra care. Presentation was excellent. Food was excellent and put female waiter , who was subbing for the night, was darling. She also was very competent. This is a small place, you need to book it

We found this lovely restaurant whilst following a walk in our guide book. After booking at lunchtime for dinner that evening, it was disappointing to see where they were going to seat us, as I was much higher up on the banquette than my husband, but this was sorted quickly and we moved to a lovely table. The food was... More

I use to live in Bruges and it was the first time I went there. I just love this little very cosy, very friendly restaurant with great food! Well done Tom! Had the Malbec (39euro) and it's just a great wine! Will definitely go back the next time I'm in Bruges!

Atmosphere great and warm and cosy on a cold night. Interesting menu and good wine selection at a reasonable price for this quality. Worth a visit but book ahead.

Loved the food here. Definitely my best meal in Brugges. Actually in all of Belgium. A little out of the way but so worth it!

Was recommended to go here by the B&B owner. It was very good local food. Nicely out of the way of the tourist area. By comparison I would say that it was a little pricey for what it was.

Easy to book with English speaking staff, great steak, it's what we went for and it delivered on every front, mine as I like it medium rare and my wife's almost cremated to a cinder. We opted for the house red and it was superb. We shared a starter and desert and the staff were not put off by this... More

"Damn good food". <-- my wife A big city foodie resturaunt in fairly small town. Bruge isn't all that big. It's the sort of place you can walk [ to everything interesting] in a day. Tom's Diner was exactly the type of off-the-beaten-path local's fine dinning we were looking for. Small, cozy. You should probably make a reservation. Don't worry,... More
