  1. Bruut

    Modern New American

    From the outside it looks like a romantic Bruges townhouse draped in wisteria; inside it's graffiti walls and a chef who clearly has something to prove. Bruut is a tasting-menu-only spot where Bruno Timperman pulls almost everything from within a short drive of the restaurant and turns it into dishes that sound like they shouldn't work but do. The crowd skews adventurous and the wine list leans natural.

    Two honors, in evidence:

    The record strongest first

    One number, weighted & current 84

    How we score

    The dishes from the writeups

    Tasting menu only. The dishes change too often to put on record.
