Le Mystique — Restaurant in Bruges

Myself and my wife celebrated our wedding anniversary here at Le Mystique and we have both come away feeling hugely impressed!

While making the reservation a few months ago, I had made the restaurant aware that my wife was pregnant and we therefore had some specific dietary requirements. The chef and the maître d' went to great lengths to accommodate, right down to the use of yoghurt in the appetisers! Me and my wife are so grateful that such time and care was taken when considering our menu.

The service thereafter was very much in keeping with the example I have just shared. Very personable, very friendly and very calm. The atmosphere as a whole was elegant and lovely, with a beautifully decorated and warm dining area filled with the sound of soft piano music and reflective light coming from the gorgeous chandeliers.

The food itself was an absolute dream! We enjoyed the four course set-menu (which was more like 8 when you take into account the appetisers and petit fours, etc) and each and every morsel was beautifully presented, beautifully balanced and absolutely delicious.

You can tell that the restaurant makes the most of brilliant seasonal produce as each ingredient tasted so fresh and in harmony with everything else on the plate and in the menu.

I would also just like to thank Anthony for his fantastic selection of wines following one after the other in such a clever way. Each wine really did pair so well with each course in the menu (particularly the Petit Verdot with the beef fillet, in my opinion) and his explanation of place and thought process behind each decision was so special to listen to and enjoy.

We would really like to thank everyone at Le Mystique for such a beautiful evening and for an anniversary that we shall never...

The food was beautifully presented and most of the menu was delicious In particular the pigeon and apple / celeriac dessert were divine .

The lamb curry I felt really did not fit in well with rest of the menu style in our opinion .

It was just a bit odd to have a curry in the middle of that particular menu Im indian and I know how to make a fabulous lamb curry so this one was ok Also a curry is never served with samosa always with rice and or chapati bread . ( sorry you did ask ) but the samosa was actually nice .

However to be fair I noticed the other customers enjoyed it .

I was not drinking wine and there was so little choice on the drinks menu and for a high quality restaurant especially now when many people don’t drink there should have been some more interesting soft drinks ( even if you just had one of each from carrefour) There was not even a fever tree tonic option . There are lots of interesting exotic soft drink options now so please extend that

Service was ok .We did have to keep topping up our own water .but that was fine and we didnt mind A bit stiff and formal but I suppose it’s that kind of vibe .

The room was lovely and thats what appealed to me on the website .

Overall we had a nice time

Well done the chef for making things look so...

This was by far the most disappointing fine dining experience I’ve ever had in Europe and I’ve been to more than a hundred upscale restaurants. The 4-courses tasting menu had only one main course option except vegetarian dish. We asked if there were more options coz we didn’t feel like eating venison “at the moment”. The waiter kept repeating “If you don’t eat venison, you should let us know in advance.” After we decided to go for a la carte menu, the waiter finally came back to offer additional option of beef as main course for tasting menu. When we asked how the beef would be cooked, he replied “just basic cooking, coz this is last minute.” In the back and forth discussion, he was very rude, arrogant and basically yelled at us in the end. The sommelier came to apologize for the waiter’s terrible attitude and he became the one serving us for the rest of night. The beef dish we had was good and the rest courses also reached certain standard. I may not be the one to evaluate whether the food here is worth Michelin stars but with the level of services they offered, this restaurant is far away from getting...
