Reviews Summary
De Stoepa is praised for its cozy, oriental-themed ambiance and diverse menu featuring street food, curries, and burgers. Many appreciate the generous portions and good value for money, along with the charming courtyard. However, some diners have reported substandard and distant service, with long waits for attention.
"Amazing bar. We discovered this place during our last trip to Brugge.
We were on our way back to the station and took a stopover at this place.
Though we had only coffee & ginger tea. But overall on the menu they have amazing cocktails, beer & food options.
Staff is really welcoming & considerable. They have both seating inside & outside as well. A nice courtyard is there as well. Vibe of the place is really nice. 🥂
Do visit if you are around centre of Brugge.
We are coming back for sure 🤩.
Good job guys."

"I liked the duck with rice. Food is good although with such a diverse menu they don't get foreign dishes 100% (rice was not sticky), but it is eatable. The place is really cozy and nice."

"The food was very nice and the seating area was cozy. The portions were on the bigger size, and it felt like good value for what you pay for. We booked a table and I would recommend doing it if you want to eat here as most the tables had a reservation. I took photos of the English menu."
