De Garage

De Garage is a neighbourhood bistro in Kortrijk offering simple food with soul. The restaurant is run by two brothers: Fitzgerald Rigole, with 18 years' hospitality-sales experience, a keen nose for local wine and beer and oversight of drinks and front-of-house. It pairs dishes with a curated selection of bread, beer, wine, drinks and is recognised in the Michelin Guide as 'Cuisine du marché' (SELECTED). Guests may speed service by choosing their dish at reservation. Casual, authentic bistro with a visible bar (toog), banquette seating, decorative tiles and warm, lived-in atmosphere centred on a turntable suggesting a friendly, convivial vibe. Market-driven bistro cooking emphasises seasonal vegetables and straightforward preparation — from sublime meat cuts and fresh fish to comforting pastas and vegetables from their own soil — balancing fixed classics and daily au goût du jour suggestions. Sourcing favours local or nearby producers, high-quality ingredients and honest, flavour-forward cooking. Tom Brys leads the kitchen, a passionate cook formerly of several bars and projects. Specialties include pasta alla mamma, self-smoked salmon, halibut, Ibérico, six-rib (zesrib) and very-veggie curries.
