A delicious holiday vibe has been setting the scene at De Mangerie for some twenty years now. From Els’ warm welcome to chef Kristof’s travel souvenirs, Brugge seems far away. The cuisine subtly blends local flavours with international, often Asian accents. Yuzu and tikka masala are meticulously paired with local veggies and North Sea fish. The chef may flank Atlantic cod, cooked on the bone, with leeks and carrots coated in chimichurri, marinated onions, juicy mussels and a velvety beurre blanc. The several-course set menu embarks the diner on a culinary journey, albeit underscored by a comforting sense of familiarity. Hits all the right buttons!
