| - I don't know why I've waited so long to Park Bruges- it has been a favorite of the hubs and I since moving to Pittsburgh. Now that we live in Highland Park, and 2 blocks from Bryant St., we go almost every week.
To start, the wait is usually long. They don't accept reservations, so don't go here if you're looking for something quick. Do check it out if you want to taste the best mussels I've had in Pittsburgh. You're almost immediately greeted by the manager/hostess and put on a seating list. Grab some drinks at the bar, or if you prefer, run next door to a local bar for a few beers.
I HIGHLY recommend the house salad- the champagne vinaigrette is AMAZING and will make even the strongest hater-of-salads sing a different tune. Any of the appetizers are worth a shot, but our personal favorite is the mac&cheese. It's creamy with a hint of spice.
For dinner, hands down the moules frittes. Our personal favorite is the classic white wine, although we've tried every option. Get extra bread for dipping, and maybe a spoon. The sauce is THAT good. The fries are crispy and totally worth the calories you consume. If you have room for dessert try the flour-less chocolate cake.
Good food, good service, good price... 2 blocks from home... can't get much better than that!
