we dined here after reading some amazing reviews from TripAdvisor. The restaurant is basically a converted front room of a lovely corner house with seating for about 20. It is run by a husband and wife team with the front of house being run by the lady. it is a charming setting and we sat down for dinner at about... More

I'm generally picky and I eat out a lot but there was nothing to criticise here! The restaurant is very pretty with some quirky and original decorative touches. The menu was in French and Flemmish and after a warm greeting we were asked if we needed a translation. There was a great selection of dishes and it was difficult to... More

We came across Couvert when walking along a street not too far from the hotel we stayed at - Martin’s Brugge. After looking at the menu & reading about it in our guide book plus looking up reviews on TripAdvisor, we decided to call up & booked a table for that night. We got the final table for that Saturday... More

My boyfriend and I were recommended this restaurant by a member of staff at the hotel we were staying at. We booked earlier in the day and were not disappointed when we arrived later. It is a tiny intimate restaurant run by a husband and wife team. The service was excellent and the wine we had was delicious despite it... More

We ate here to celebrate my mother in law's 70th birthday - and it was wonderful! We had the set menu and the service was perfect and the food totally delicious. Pudding was amazing! I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

Delicious food located on a side street. This was a great find. It was recommended by a local person. It is owned by a husband and wife and the husband is the chef. It is not a glitzy restaurant but rather quaint and cozy atmosphere. The food was the best we had in Bruges. By the way, all of the... More

Delightfully cosy restaurant run by a charming couple. She does front of house and he is the chef. The food is exquisite and beautifully presented. Well priced for very high quality produce. Service is charming and helpful.

We had the set menu and the quality of the food was superb. At this level of quality it also represents exceptional value compared with what you might be charged for a more glitzy, mainstream location or many equivalent starred/rated restaurants. Service was efficient and polite rather than overly welcoming. The atmosphere was muted, a little too much for our... More

Couvert was recommended to us by our B&B host Caroline and we are glad she did. It is a small restaurant but the food and service were exceptional. The sea bass starter and lamb main were very good. Would happily eat here again and would recommend others visiting Bruge to check it out.

We ate at the Couvert twice during a 4 day stay round the corner at the (excellent) Pand Hotel. The Couvert is run by a couple who both do their respective jobs very well. Good ingredients; good combination of flavours; as efficiently served as one person could do in a restaurant of c20 covers; good house wines; nice decor; friendly... More
