This restaurant was well-recommended by several travel guides and was near our hotel. Found the decor to be pleasant and the service good, but way too pricey when there are many other equally good restaurants in the area. Took our friends and although there were no complaints, I know they felt it was overpriced. The food, however, was excellent and... More

In summary: the food was excellent, but this was let down by poor timing and front of house. The price was also rather alarming. Plus points: -excellent main courses. I tried gurnard for the first time, and it was beautiful. Minus points: -the price (over the odds, but not a rip-off) -timing (about 30-40 mins from main course to desert)... More

Arriving somewhat late, we were somewhat rudely turned away from a restaurant across the street due to their kitchen closing soon, and having heard good things about the Visccherie and wanting a nice seafood meal, decided to give it a try. The waiter was incredibly friendly and had no issues seating us while politely noting that the kitchen was closing... More

We had dinner at one of the most romantic restaurant in Bruges. We went to De Visscherie and it was marvelous! From the start we received a warm welcome to our table. The waiter took very well care of us during the whole dinner. We were 6 of us and we decided to go a la carte. We had lobster,... More

As we were not charmed by the set menu we chose to dine à la carte otherwise you can choose a set menu with wine for 100€. The sole was excellent but as my Partner pointed out you can get a as good sole in a lot of small and cheap restaurants at the Belgium coast. I would not recommend... More

We booked the vischerie for lunch on recommendation of our hotel. We were excited on arrival at this nice restaurant right next to the old fish market. The food was Ok but slightly disappointing for the price and did not meet our expectations. The food was nice but nothing out of this world. We had wine selected for us with... More

One of the best seafood places i visited in quite a while. Good selection of fish and seafood dishes. The king crab, sole and monkfish we tried were prepared to perfection. Nice atmosphere and great friendly service. Nice winelist. Only downside: doesn't come cheap! Worth every Euro though. More

Saturday night dinner, excellent location, center of old city. The food (fish) was exquisite and the sommelier was helpfull in suggestions to find the right wine to accompany the meal. Excellent service with a local friendly flair. Certainly not cheap but price quality was correct. Backside of restaurant holds terras with same name but more (price) moderate menu. Also tried...

Very expensive for the quality of food served. Waiters not so sincere as at any other place we ate at in Bruges. The Razor clams smelled so we pointed it out only to be told in a condescending fashion "that is how they normally smell". We eat out a lot where ever we are and are familiar with seafood and...
