restaurant review #441 – Vegan hotel breakfast!! Hotel Malleberg has recently changed owners, and we saw they offer vegan breakfast, also to non-hotel guests (make reservation).We didn’t stay at the hotel (as we live nearby 😃) but made a reservation for breakfast.
restaurant review #299 – Ok, this is not really a ‘restaurant’ review, as Dageraad is not a restaurant but a bed and breakfast, but I wanted to share our experiences anyway, because it was so good!
Bruges is visited by millions of tourists each year. Some only spend one day in Bruges, others come for a short city trip and stay overnight, possibly combined with excursions to other touristic hotspots in Flanders, like Flanders Fields or the coastal area.
