Martin’s Brugge

Nick Riethoven — Thu, 14 May 2020 18:00:00 +0000

Recently, we have posted a lot about all the restaurants we visited during our trip to Bruges earlier this year.
A few of you asked us where we stayed at during our visit. Therefore, we decided to dedicate a full review about the accommodation in Bruges.

We booked a Superior room at the hotel Martin’s Brugge for two nights. The hotel is located in the city centre and this allowed us to walk to every sight within a very short amount of time and distance.
The hotel consists of multiple connected buildings which makes it one large maze hallwaysystem.
Close to the end of the maze was our room. The room was absolutely beautiful with modern aesthetics. We slept very well on the soft bed and the next day we were ready to see what the breakfast buffet had to offer.
We were happily surprised by the large assortment of breads, cheeses, juices and the warm and cold food options. There was plenty to choose from if you ask us.

To summarize our stay, we loved our stay and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the room and breakfast. The staff is very friendly and they are happy to accommodate you with any information that you need about the city or the hotel. If you need a place to stay in Bruges, we absolutely recommend you to book your room at Martin’s Brugge for a wonderful stay.

Le Pain Quotidien

Our trip to Bruges in February was such a huge success that we decided to stay for another night.

On our extra day we visited Le Pain Quotidien for lunch. The bakery and restaurant are located in an old weaving mill at the: “Place Simon Stevin” in the city centre of Bruges. We waited at the entrance until a member of staff guided us to a table in the hall. We sat down on some comfy leather chairs with a small round table. I tried ordering a Cola but little did we know that they don’t serve any soft drinks. Therefore, both of us ordered a homemade lemonade and California Tartine. The lemonade was delicious and the salmon on the California Tartine was lovely in combination with the avocado and cucumber.

We had an amazing and relaxed time here. It’s definitely a good spot if you are in Bruges and if you would like to enjoy some great (healthy) food.

Terra Promessa – Bruges

The whole weekend we were craving pizza but we never managed to order it somewhere. Luckily, we came across Terra Promessa during our weekend in Bruges (Brugge). Terra Promessa is a small Italian restaurant close to the city centre of Bruges.

We ordered the “Pane all’aglio” which is garlic bread with cheese, a “Pizza piccante” (spicy pizza with chorizo, bell pepper and spicy chili sauce) and a “Pizza quatro formaggi” (four cheeses).
The ‘Pane all’aglio was a tasty starter and it was enough for the two of us.
When the pizzas arrived at our table both of us were salivating. The pizza looked so appetising and they were also quite large. Not only did it look good.. it tasted incredible as well! The waitresses at the restaurant were also very kind. The food was served very quickly to our table and we had a wonderful time here.

If you are ever in Bruges, don’t hesitate to call the restaurant to make a reservation. It is definitely worth it!

Velusso Cycling Café Bruges

The Zilverpand in the city centre of Brugge contains a very cool café named: “Velusso Cycling Café”.
Velusso is a English company who offers different cycling related activities in Europe. We did not know that it was a cycling cafe, until we started writing this review.
We noticed the café when we were strolling around in the city. We were searching for a cozy place to drink a cup of coffee and this place looked really appealing to us.

The interior is quite industrial and it is adapted to allow cyclists to fuel up. From changing rooms to a place to stall your bike, as a small store with some cycling equipment. This café has it all!
We sat down inside and ordered some coffee. The waitresses were very kind and they made beautiful latte art in our coffees. We talked a lot with each other and before we knew, we had spent hours inside Velusso.

If you are in the area, make sure you stop by and order a nice cup of coffee or something to eat.
