We were looking for a restaurant with a nice terrace and we bumped into restaurant Réliva in the Goezeputstraat. I remembered that I was there almost three years ago, when they just opened. We chose a place in the shadow on the almost empty terrace, and we were impressed by the sublime view we had on … Continued
Last year, we found a great house in Herbeumont, in the heart of the Ardennes. We bought the place and decorated it the way we wanted. Now, we want to rent it as a vacation home. We didn’t choose the name by accident, the area used to be the mecca of slates (ardoise). Herbeumont is a … Continued
We admit it, we neglected culinary Bruges for a while… A busy work schedule and other duties are responsible for the little time we could spend on our blog. But we’re planning an catching-up manoeuvre.

A corner house was thoroughly renovated and the result is a restaurant, decorated in country style with a beautiful open kitchen. The owner previously cooked in the house Ten Ezele, above the real estate agency Acasa on … Continued

They didn’t change the interior: the tables and the chairs stayed the same. But the new owners added some enthusiasm and passion. We went for a lunch, and … Continued
I was meeting a friend for lunch this afternoon. We wandered for a while, and bumped into Sale & Pepe. There were some seats free and the lunch suggestion that we saw outside convinced us. The place is simple, but stylish. We were welcomed in a friendly way and we chose a table close to … Continued
Right across the old fish market of Zeebrugge, you will find Brasserie Nelson, a fish restaurant where you leave with a full stomach and a happy feeling. At least, that was the feeling when we left last Sunday, after a lunch with David, the godfather of Marieke. Brasserie Nelson is one of the few survivors … Continued
