That waffle with strawberries and cream should be twice as delicious! The stairs of the 800-year-old bell tower look very steep and a bit scary. I admire you for climbing directly to the top without taking a rest! I have never seen bacon or cigar flavored chocolate, the Belgians are so creative! The boat trip on the river is very romantic and exciting, I love it! That shellfish is Mussels, or Moules in Belgium, and it looks super delicious! You did a really great job again, thanks a lot for sharing！👍🥰🙏

Indeed, if you see someone eat a waffle with a load of toppings on it, it's a tourist. It just doesn't belong on it. It's just a trick to make you pay threefold (or more), because a waffle itself is delicious and very cheap.

As someone from Bruges, born and raised all I can say is. Dude, don't pour the mossel saus on the mossel... dip the mossel in the saus. Use the shell to hold the mossel and dip away. 😁

So glad you went to Dominique's place, he's a realy cool guy... 👍

Dominique is such a vibe. Such a dynamic fun guy! What an innovator. Can’t wait to visit his store

FYI Dominique persoone is the best chocolatier in the whole country so it's guaranteed the best chocolate!

It's so fun to see you exploring Belgian cities, I am Flemmish myself! The food reviews are amazing😂, also love that you put facts about Belgium in your videos, great balance between educational and fun content. Love to see it😁

The Gothic style Buildings..one of my favorite...just so breathtaking!!!...and the the stairs...I would be breathless too but the view is amazing...so much chocolates all looking delicious...just a beautiful place...Thanks David and be safe....Peace and Blessings.

The Burg, the square where the town hall is the only square in the world where you can see every single architectural style from Romanesq up to present day. Every building is in a different style. When they wanted to build a hotel there people were in an uproar over it looking to modern, but had they not built it we would no longer be able to say you can see every style 'up to present day' 😄

Thank you so much David! I am from Bruges and i never even knew MAS eatery existed. Its a little hidden so. I went there because of your video. The first time i went there wich was not too long after you posted this video, i mentioned your name to the staff and they remembered you. I have been there twice now and its so good there.

Bruges is an awesome city with tons of yummy food and drinks. You rock at having fun with different foods.

Use a pair connected empty mussel shells and you can use them as clambs to get the mussel out. Nice video!

What a beautiful city

We, Belgians don't eat our waffles like that though, that's for tourists :) I don't know when exactly those metal mesh things were added to the belltower but when I was younger they weren't there, so it is very well possible they were installed a while after the movie "In Bruges".

Two of the best things combined...hard to describe the amazingness

One tip , you use the shells of an empty mussel like a gripper to eat the other ones . You use it too to dip in the sauce. Btw isn't that the guy of Bald and bankrupt going with you?

it sure is the most beautiful city in Belgium!!!!

the city i love . been everywhere you showed in the video and more . i grew up in torhout . i can't imagine myself moving to a place in the world that is further than 20min drive from bruges . i live in ostend now . living at walking distance from the beach is amazing , but not to far from bruges . i'm not rich but i don't need more than i have . we do plan our visits to bruges on moments that tourists are less visible . i love bruges so much that i hope , when i die i'll be in bruges an drop to the ground

TIP: The way to eat mussels ...you need to take an empty mussel ( dubbel Shell) wich you use as a shopstick to pince the mussel meat out of the second mussel...thats the way to eat mussels .....enjoy..

tradionionally we eat the Liege waffle plain .....with toppings; that is just tourist in our eyes. On Brussels waffles we would do butter and icing sugar, or in summer with strawberries and whipped cream. then at least you have the taste of the waffle itself.

weird way to eat our mussels tho XD, we usually eat it with a fork for the first one but mostly with a good shell of an empty one, we pick them out the shell. lol you are eating them almost like oysters XD.and we dip our mussels in the sauce not por it over the mussel.

7 ай бұрын

Not so much no, although the number of Indian restaurants is growing.

Like most tourists who visit Bruges, you walked from one tourist trap to another. No Bruges resident will ever visit any of the places you visit. Only old ladies eat waffles, we eat mussels without all those strange sauces on top and that pot of stew you ate from disgusts every Belgian. If we eat stew, it certainly shouldn't come from that pot of sh.. you saw. We eat our food on a plate and always with a knife and fork. We buy the best chocolates in affordable shops that you will find in every village, not in tourist dens. Maybe you didn't notice it, but not a single Bruges resident came to the cafes that were visited, they go to cafes where tourists are not really welcome without the guidance of a Bruges resident. A tip for those who want to visit Bruges, visit Bruges with a native of Bruges, you will visit places you can only dream of and you will taste food and drinks to remember forever. But we like the tourists, we make a lot of money from all those tourists who believe everything and eat everything and pay a lot for it, and they make super funny videos that make us laugh out loud.

I enjoyed the video.I'll come see you often.Have a happy day.
