Latest Brugge hotel reviews
While you are in Brugge you MUST try fries with mayonnaise (of course unless you are not a big fan of mayonnaise). I never thought it would be that good until I tried it. When we ordered them, they came in a paper cone and the mayonnaise was the REAL stuff - no miracle whip or Hellman's here! Just take my word for it... it's delicious!

We stumbled across this chocolatier shop and were very impressed by the chocolates inside. The owner assured us that they were one of only 3 or 4 choclatiers that actually hand made their chocolates. Apparently, all the others are mass produced. Regardless of this, the chocolates from this store were substantially nicer than the other chocolates we tried while in Brugge, and there were a few.
We bought 250 grams for 4 euro 50.

Chocolate, along with Beer seems to be universal in Belgium, but here in Brugge, we found what I guess would be the ultimate "mens" chocolate candy....and you could get them in sizes ranging from C to D and they even had the "mini's" before any implants were done.

This my friends is the "Triple van de Garre", a whopping 11.5% alcohol....yes, a beer of 11.5%, that is truly a "triple" from what you find in many beers, although double some here in Belgium. It was the best beer that Patrick and I "sampled".

Belgium and beer are one. Don't try all the beers they have, it will result in a terrible headache, and you will not be able to try them all anyway.
Brugse Triple is one you must try. It is a strong beer with 9,5% alcohol. The beer is brewed in 'De Gouden Boom' brewery.
More beers from Bruges:
- Brugge Blond 6,5%
- Abdijbier Steenbrugge Dubbel and Steenbrugge Tripel
both also from the Gouden Boom brewery.
From the Halve Maan brewery:
- Brugse Zot
- Straffe Hendrik

Apparently the township of Brugge alone makes something like 300 different types of Beer!
We saw the usual suspects, and also flavoured beers, like cherry, or other fruits. Beer was one thing that was really quite affordable in Brugge.

I used to think Chocolate is only the exclusive rights of the Swiss, untill I got to Bruges. They have their own very unique Chocolates which cost me some furtunes, as I have to buy as much as possible back to Paris.

What is better than to enjoy the taste of real Flemish fries, while you are sitting in the sun. The fries shop at the Markt, that is infront of the Belfry Tower, is perfect for it, at the same time you can admire all the beautiful buildings at the Markt.

Everyone probably already knows this, but the Belgians eat their French (Belgian?) fries with mayonaise instead of catsup. Well, give it a try, you might like it. I did give it a try and am sticking with catsup. To each his own.

Please find yourself a local waffle seller and try some. I prefer them with raspberry jam on. Just delicious. Can either have one to take away, or as a dessert in a cafe or restaurant.
Althoug I am now warming to chocolate sauce :-))
Go on try it.
