Point Brugge Café - Pittsburgh

Popped in on a whim because I wasn’t ready to go home yet. I only ordered fries (Brugge frites) but I will be back for a full meal because the fries were delicious and the vibe was nice. And the portion size was massive. +gender neutral bathrooms and gender conscious servers.

My daughter and I had a wonderful lunch. The mussels were amazing. I highly recommend this cafe for your dining pleasure.

The soup of mussel set just made my day. BRILLIANT.

I don't leave reviews frequently but I feel compelled to share my disappointment with our dinner tonight. We used to frequent this place for years pre-pandemic and had never had a bad meal. Our waiter was clearly inexperienced but didn't check on us ONCE after our food was delivered by someone else. We eventually had to ask for the check. 1/3 of the mussels were unopened and therefore inedible, the sweet potatoes in the salad were crunchy and the crab cake was dry and flavorless. We left a lot of food behind. A very expensive waste. Very sad...

Unfortunately, we did not have a good experience at this resturant. However, I did enjoy the Belgium ale that was recommended to me. Carbonnade Flamande Beef braised in brown ale with onions, apricots, cherries, rosemary, carrots, Brugge Frites. This uniform brown stew had no hints of apricots or cherries. The beef had a large chunk of fat that I had spit out discretely. The rest of the dish was left untouched.
