The restaurant where had planned to have a late lunch today was closed. By luck we happened upon Aquarel Restaurant. The food was light, fresh, delicious. Service was excellent. Atmosphere was delightful.
We approached the restaurant and spoke to a waiter who I believe is the owner. We knew that Belgian white asparagus was in season and my wife very much wanted to have that. We were told that it was going to be available tomorrow but was not available today. Later when we decided to eat there anyway we were happy to be told that yes they would prepare the asparagus which they served with couscous and smoked salmon.
Being in the Flemish part of Belgium I wanted to try Waterzooi. This has a light cream base with fish or chicken, their preparation was made with salmon and codfish. The fish was absolutely fresh and delicious. The vegetables were fresh and beautifully prepared.
We asked for a beer recommendation. Brugse Tripel was very good.
We finished with a Belgian waffle with strawberries.
Everything was delicious. The experience was delightful. We hope to return to Bruges again someday. If we do, the first place we go will be Aquarel restaurant.
