Point Brugge Cafe reviews
16I had pot roast, $22 pot roast for lunch. It was good pot roast but not $22 good. Anyway, we like it here for the atmosphere and they seem to have a higher quality of food and unique items on the menu.
My go to place for special brunches. Even the coffees good. The staffs on pointe, the prices reasonable and it has fancy food in a friendly atmosphere. Small doing room, no tvs, just a whole sweet experience, every time, every dish.
Amazing staff with amazing service! The food came out quick. We had a small table, but with teamwork from the staff and my group, we made it work.:)
Food was pretty delicious!
Only issue is, it is definitely set up café size but running like a full restaurant. It has a charm, but it can become pretty crowded and noisy (for dinner! Not sure about lunch or brunch!).
I would definitely try lunch, brunch, and more dinner items.
Mussels are beyond delicious! The staff was incredibly polite, friendly and very efficient. Prices were reasonable. Good variety for the menu.
Bloody Mary was bloody amazing.
Croque Monsieur for brunch was sublime and equivalent to what I've had in Paris.
Wish I lived closer!
But over.priced. The servers were nice, but not the best. Had lipstick smudges on two glasses.when we.got water. 90 for lunch. Ouch.
Cute neighborhood spot with some nice beers on tap. Really bland mussels and chicken milanese. The fries were good at least.
This is usually a consistent place but not this past Friday. Service was inattentive despite the restaurant not being busy. That being said, however, it was the food that was the most disappointing. Luke warm to cool mussels, a well over cooked burger including even the bun being on the charred side, a salmon salad missing the salmon until well into the meal, even the frites were below par. Not at all what was expected from what has been a usually reliable spot.
Every time I come to Pittsburgh, I have to stop by Point Brugge Cafe, food is excellent, service is amazing.
Had dinner here on Friday for the 1st time post covid. Glad I decided to return. Had the chicken sandwich with slaw and my wife had the chicken with salad. We also shared a plate of frites. Was going to try the mussels like I normally do and would recommend those as well. Place is always packed so reservations are a good idea. Patio was open and still packed when we arrived at 8pm
I wish I could give 3.5 stars. Google's rating system has flaws. I have adored this place for quite some time, and last time I was in, it seems like standards have slipped a bit. When the place famous for moules frite has no Belgian beer on draft, it's disappointing. The menu seems shorter by about 25%. A beloved bartender seems to have moved on, and the staff seems really young. As in green. Our server was a delight, but there were gaps in service. We were in at 7: 30 on a Friday. I accept that it might take me a moment to get a pint at that moment, but it should not take 20 minutes. Mussels were great, but I suspect that was not 1.5 lbs as listed on the menu. The pandemic has been hard on restaurants, to be sure. This place is still head and shoulders above so many other places, but it feels like the love is gone. This place used to be a Palace, and it feels like they have slipped. I truly hope they get things back in order.
Our go to place for a date night. Moules are amazing. Great drink specials. Lovely little round tables. Outdoor seating. Fresh crusty bread. Awesome charcuterie board. Small venue. Quaint. Delicious food.
The curry sauce with mussel is a must-get. The waitress was friendly and walked us through her favorites dishes - which were all fantastic.
Wonderful atmosphere and Euro café feeling. Gorgeous beer and wine selection. I don't even like fries usually but their frites are incredible!
Very cute spot with great food (we got the mussels and burgers) and amazing service. The sides were also really good (we got fries and side salads).
