Zet'joe

FABULOUS on all fronts. Delicious food - beautifully presented, wonderful ambiance, warmest of welcomes, great service overall, accommodating and helpful in explaining the menu and in making small changes e.g. I was craving cheese and they substituted the dessert from the 3-course menu for the cheese. Also lots of little treats along the way from the time you are seated to when you are finally ready to get the bill and leave.

Fine dining at its finest - that is my overall impression of Zet’joe. We experienced a trifecta of food, service and setting. From the time we were escorted to our table by Philippe and attended by Giles and Geert, we knew we were in a special place and would have a wonderful dining experience. And, we did. During our meal the chef and his wife both stopped by our table to check on us - a nice touch.

At Zet’joe, dining transcends into a refined experience of craftsmanship and care. Chef Geert Van Hecke brings profound skill and thoughtfulness to every dish, with each ingredient precisely chosen and artfully placed. The cuisine is elegant, rooted in Belgian tradition, yet delivered with a modern, delicate touch. The atmosphere is intimate and welcoming, with service that is both polished and warm. A carefully curated wine list complements the dishes beautifully, enhancing the journey without ever overwhelming it. Zet’joe is a masterclass in subtlety and excellence — a place where every detail speaks of passion, precision, and a quiet pursuit of perfection.

Dining here is truly an experience from the moment you walk through the door to the moment you leave your table. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a refined yet relaxed feel that immediately sets the tone for a memorable evening. From the very beginning, the service stood out — professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate. The menu was explained in detail, with staff taking the time to share the inspiration behind each dish and guide us through the journey ahead. Every course was crafted with care and precision, and you could really sense the thought that had gone into both the flavours and presentation. The wine pairing was exceptional — each glass perfectly complementing its dish without ever overpowering. And the dessert? A beautiful finale that tied everything together with elegance and creativity. It’s rare to find a restaurant where every element — service, food, atmosphere, and wine — comes together so seamlessly. This is not just a meal, but a curated experience that lingers long after the final bite. An absolute must-try in Bruges. I’d return in a heartbeat.

Went here for dinner on our last night in Bruges. Was an amazing experience, the food was delicious & the staff were friendly & attentive (caring for my wife’s gluten free & nut allergies). Was very reasonably priced for a Michelin restaurant & the portions were a good size which isn’t always the case with fine dinning. Highly recommend.
