| - I stopped by here this past Wednesday night with my wife and her parents for dinner. Since we had all been to Pointe Brugge and Park Brugge before, we wanted to give the new Brugge in our neck of the woods a taste. So we headed over to the Northside to give Brugge on North a try. At first we had a little difficulty in seeing it as it's located in the Alphabet City building but since there isn't much else around, we figured that's where it had to be located. The inside of this place is interesting as it sort of shares a space with a bookstore and maybe has a stage? There are curtain dividers to separate them but I don't think that either were down on the day we were there. Brugge on North has both a dining room and a bar although both felt somewhat small and crowded.
For dinner on this evening I decided to start off my meal with the poutine before having a main entree of the chicken sandwich. My wife helped to make this possible since I also wanted the moules which she ended up offering to order and share. The menu describes the poutine As Brugge frites, bacon lardon, white wine chicken gravy, cheese curds and pickled peppers while it describes the chicken sandwich as chicken, jalapeño pickle slaw, Gouda, terrain mayo on a baguette. My poutine came out first and ended up being quite good. What made it a little different from most of the poutines I have had previously was the fact that it was made from frites. This meant that the fries were able to stand up to the wetness of the gravy without getting soggy which made for a more enjoyable poutine. I also really enjoyed the pickled peppers which added that bit of acidity to an otherwise rich and savory dish. My chicken sandwich was similarly good. The chicken itself was nice and crispy while the jalepeno slaw gave it a little heat and acidity and the terragon mayo gave it some extra flavor. It came with a cold orzo salad on this day which had some peppers and onion in it. Last but certainly not least were my wife's moules and frites. She went with the classic white wine sauce as the base and boy was it good! I especially enjoyed dipping the crusty bread in it and our table even ordered more bread to do just that. Not to be outdone by the moules, her frites were good as well as they were super crispy on the outside. The Maui dipping sauce was supposed to be terragon but had a vinegary quality to it which I loved and almost made it like eating chips and malt vinegar.
The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. As with all of the Bruges (North, Park, Pointe) it's with coming here just for their moules and frites. However they also have some good other food and some interesting cocktails as well.
