Bistro't Klein Genoegen, Sint Salvatorskoorstraat 3, 8000 Brugge, Belgium

For me, Bistro't Klein Genoegen has the perfect atmosphere.
The walls are painted almost black but it doesn't look ominous or gloomy, it looks chic. The wooden floors and the white of the ceiling and the table cloth provides enough brightness. The lighting is ample without shining too strongly onto my parting making it look sparse and bald (despite a decent head of heair).
The reason all of this appealed so much was that Bistro't Klein Genoegen created an atmosphere of intimacy, and made you feel special without leaving the venue with only a hint of light.

I counted at least four vegetarian mains, and two starters, which is enough.
I had breaded cheese to start (excellent and surprisingly, not heavy), and a quiche for my main...that's right, a quiche! Why do more restaurants not turn to quiche for their vegetarian option(s): it's delicous, filling, goes with the same sides as various preparations of meat...and once more for the skim readers: it's delicous.
Also, the quiche goes very well with the house Sauvignon Blanc, and Fiance would like you to know that the meat options were all that and a bucket of Belgium chips. 

Dessert was apple pie. Proper pieces of spiced apple on a substantial pie base with a nice dollop of excellent quality vanilla ice cream. Former fan of the French apple tart found at Mon Vieil Ami, Paris; Fiance quickly renamed this one as his favourite. If it hadn't been so damn delicious, I'd have branded him fickle and felt deeply concerned at his flitting affections.
Ok...I know I have to STOP with the overuse of alliteration...it's just that when I get going it becomes a hilarious challenge to see how long I can keep going for...but, I will try and stop...really...try...

Service was perfect: friendly, non-invasive, genuine, helpful...other relevant, positive words that you can think of.

If you're veggie, know a veggie or anyone else who is restricted when eating out then you must dine here at least once if you visit Brugge.
If you're not veggie, don't know a veggie or anyone else who is restricted when eating out, then why are you reaading this? Go and do something useful with your time.
