This is a great restaurant in a nice neighborhood. The food is excellent, but a bit above my college student budget.

There is always a wait at Point Brugge but it is worth it. I am sometimes challenged choosing from their menu but once I decide I know I will get a great meal. Outdoor seating is a summer plus!

The food was soooo delicious! My fiancé and I are actually moving to the area and our awesome landlord suggested we meet for brunch to go over the lease. I was seriously impressed. Yes, there was a wait but it was absolutely worth it. I read other reviews saying that it was too pricey, again, worth it. I'm not saying... More

Service was great, food even better. Had a new beer called Rodenbach, a Flemish cherry flavored beer. Very good! The mussels were the best I have had since being in Belgium 2 years ago. Cooked to perfection; very tender, not chewy. Small, intimate neighborhood cafe, so get there early. We got there at 5 and had to wait 20 min.... More

went for dinner and sat at the bar, saving some time waiting for a table. The BloodyMarys were spicy and delicious. The Mediterranean Platter was very good, especially the walnut dip. The mussels in the white wine were soo good! We had a great evening and would go back!

This place blends right in with the neighborhood and looks like an old corner store or home. It's cozy atmosphere is only matched by it's high quality cuisine. Honestly, I had salmon- some of the best ever, my friends had a burger & the other mussels. Each of us raved of the quality & flavor. The beers on tap were... More

Especially good are the Belgian frits and don't miss Sunday Brunch. On the expensive side but everything is fresh and delicious.

Point Brugge, in Pittsburgh's East End, is a small bistro that produces superb food. Try the fries/frites-- twice-fried and served with a delicious aioli. The mussels/moules are legendary, as is the carbonnade: an astonishingly flavorful, fork-tender beef stew. Salads are excellent-- in fact, we've never had a bad meal at Brugge. The wine list is very good, as is the... More

We were looking for a place to have an afternoon coffee and snack and happened to be in the area. We were with our young (7yr old) daughter and thought we would give it a try. We ordered desert and coffee and the waitress didn't give it a second thought. Our food and coffee arrived promptly and was very good.... More

The food was good -- not great. Service and management was really poor: amateurs with wrong antagonistic attitude towards their clients. Typical provincial attitude of somebody that thinks/acts as a big fish in a very small pond. No finesse, no style, but OK heavy food.
