Hurrah! I've stayed there a few times and it's always exceptionally good.
I was in Bruges one christmas and they had a massive skating rink in the main square. I don't know if they do that every year but iut was ever so pretty.
Also on the main square there is a chip van which Belgians claim serves the best chips in the world. Now we know that the best chips in the world come from Vleminckx in Amsterdam, but these are pretty bloody good.

This is another seriously good eatery in Bruges. Outrageously outstanding parsley soup. I kid you not.
