Places to eat in Belgium.....

Wife and I were going to Belgium but had to cancel at the last minute. I did a ton of research and came up with these places in Bruges, Ghent and Leuven. Don't have anything on Brussels because we were just flying in and out. If you're interested I can send you all of my notes on these three cities but it sounds like you won't be spending much time in them.

I've eaten here and its a good, casual spot. If you get a chance and want a strange experience, go have a beer at Velootje It's owned by an old eccentric hoarder. The bar is full of old bicycles (Its known as the bicycle bar which is what Velootje means....I think.) And there is a lot of other junk sitting around. The first time I went in 2000 or so, I had to push some old lamps out of the way to sit down. The second time, in 2007, My wife and I were the only ones there and so we sat outside with the owner talking. At one point he took me inside and sat me in front of a 1991 era computer and had me write a review of his place online.

We usually dont seek out good food but good beer instead.
