Teasers by Rock-Fort

$$$ Fodor's choice

Teasers is the ice cube down the back of Bruges's "traditional" dining scene; it's brash and modern, serving a relentlessly inventive menu of French-inspired sharing tapas dishes slanted heavily towards seafood. The growing Rock-Fort empire also encompasses the Glocal shop and take-home service next door, and---above that---the more upmarket Orange District restaurant, which serves fixed-price fine-dining menus.

A 10-minute walk east of central Bruges, this cozy gastrobar serves up modern takes of classic French dishes, but with a twist. Instead of full main courses, the food is delivered tapas style: pick six savory treats of your choice, and they will be served together on a self-styled grand plateau (a large wooden platter).
