| - Two friends and I went to Park Bruges and ordered a smorgasbord of food. Seriously, it almost didn't fit on the table.
But alas, let me start at the beginning. Our wait was short, just enough time to grab a drink at the bar. I couldn't resist getting a beer off of the extensive list, but my dinner mates each got cocktails (Beer Sangria!!) that were creative and tasty. The bartender and hostess were very friendly.
We ordered the following (for real, it was just us 3, don't judge): Tarte Flambee - classic version, the Cheese Board with chorizo, Asian Chicken Skewers, and Moules Frites - Spicy Creole. For dessert we ordered these three cream puffs with hazelnut deliciousness inside.
My absolute favorite dish was the Moules Frites. You CAN get great mussels in Pittsburgh! The Creole version had Maytag bleu cheese that melted in your mouth. The Frites were perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft inside. What a treat. When I come again I'm getting this allllll for me!
My second favorite was the Cheese Board. I'm a complete sucker for a good Cheese Board and this one had a great mix of cheeses, including one of my favorites, St. Andre's.
The Skewers and Tarte Flambee were good, although I found the Asian Skewers a bit out of place. I actually liked the cucumber salad that came with it more than the skewers. Still wonderfully tender, delicious chicken, though. The Tarte Flambee was good but it didn't stand out after gorging myself on everything else.
Service was good, waitresses were attentive and friendly.
Best of all, our bill was surprisingly lower than what we were expecting.
I highly recommend Park Bruges...the dinner I had stands out as one of the best I've had so far this year. I can't wait to go back.
