my last review was of Zeno, modern minimalist.... Kardinaalshof has a very different feel like you are in a middle class, comfortable dining room but with a modernist approach to food Not a tasting menu but sort of ? No doubt about quality or service -really well looked after If I was a bit disappointed it was more that the... More

Four of us looked long and hard at Trip Advisor before heading to Bruges and wanted to find somewhere to eat that would live long in the memory. I'm delighted to say that Kardinaalshof was the place. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we were superbly well looked after and I have nothing but admiration for... More

The restaurant offers four or six courses from a frequently changing menu. We opted for the six course option with three matching wines. The food was amazing, clearly demonstrating an extremely talented and hard working chef in the kitchen. The wines were not always the most obvious selections, but were all delicious and a great match for the food. The... More

Though this was a very pleasant memorable meal this was much due to the service, which was very friendly and professional without being overbearing. The food was very good for the most part and featured some interesting combinations (scallops, endive, celeriac & coffee?) but in a no-choice tasting menu (the choice is 4 or 6 courses) there are bound to...

We pre- booked on a cold March Monday to be greeted by an empty restaurant which remained empty all evening. Even so we received immaculate, first class service and food that gave us no sense that we were an inconvenience. The Maitr'd/owner was charm personified and was only too ready to tell us about the food and the restaurant as... More

The restaurant is very classy and the service impeccable. You can choose from a set menu of either 4 or 6 dishes and if you like you can also add in wine pairing. We chose the 4 dish option and ordered a bottle of very decent merlot to go with it. The food is highly inventive and some dishes worked... More

We had the tasting menu of ten courses paired with wine. The wine was free flowing, was not expensive but good quality for price. The food was experimental. Some of the dishes were very good, others were a little too experimental. My recommendation is try it, you may love it but some people will find the flavour combinations a little... More

My partner took me to Kardinaalshof on my birthday during our weekend in Bruges. What a treat! A small, intimate restaurant with a warm and sophisticated feel. Frankie and Madame made us feel welcome, were friendly yet professional. We chose the six course tasting menu with wine pairing. Each course was a work of art, beautifully presented and delicious.
