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！👍🥰🙏

My grandfather sculpted those statues on the city hall and the Belfort tower (0:19). After World War 2 a lot of those statues were destroyed or taken by the Germans so they had to rebuild a lot of the old buildings and statues. Took him about 20 years.

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😁

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

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

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

To eat correctly the Belgian wafels you eat them nature or with powdersugar😅😅 the rest is for the tourists.

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.

What's astonishing is the fact I am an actual Belgian and I am seeing things I've never seen before.

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. 😁

What a beautiful city

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

Wow, what a great report you made David. As a citizen of Bruges (and beerlover), I'm flattered. Thanks mate ❤

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.

Been waiting for this video for my upcoming Bruges trip 🙌🏽🙌🏽

i clicked as fast as i can thanks for visiting Bruges!

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

Love it 💙

Loved all your Belgium food tour videos. Glad you enjoyed my country. I'll be in Miami/Ft. Lauderdale/Keys in 2 weeks. Can't wait to try some traditional foods and drinks in your city! Got a lot of inspiration from your "25 foods you need to try in Miami"-video. Thank you!

What an amazing content. This guy is amazing. I wish you good luck bro

😅😅😅waffle with the hot sauce🫣🫣🫣🤌🏻🤠David you are crazy…love it!

Bacon chocolate?? Wow! I wanna try it. Need to go to Bruges someday soon

Great vid 👍

👳👮 HELLO DAVID!!!😆🖑 GLAD TO SEE YOUR HAVING A GREAT TIME! KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK!!!💃👊👏🌞

Chocolate, cream, strawberry, sugar and wheats… always the best combo no one could ever get tired of))

I am Belgian, I always eat waffles without anything, only the Brussels waffles would traditionally have some powder sugar and a bit of whipped cream, maybe a bit of chocolate. The giant towers on the waffles are pretty much a tourist thing.

dominique is a famous chef here in the flandres

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".

Me and my wife tend to visit Bruges every few years. It's one of our favorite places to spend a weekend there

My hometome! So lovely to see! :D

David - I love that you are enjoying Bruges! I miss so many things about Belgium and the Netherlands. Please eat a cone of frietjes met andalouse for me. Groetjes van de US.

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..

great video ! funny to see how other ppl see Belgium. Glad you like our dishes even tho Belgium is not famous for his cuisine :) And also a little tip, when you eat mussles take an empty mussle shell to pinch the other mussle out of their shell ;) That's the "traditional way" to eat them ^^

Absolutely love this. Belgium waffles everyday strawberries best one to even!! That guys chocolate store is so awesome.. Such unique chocolates definite spot to stop for sure. The clock tower that was a hella work out to lol really amazing to go into a structure as old as it is. Mussels omg so good big portion to. Boat ride on the canals amazing.. Such history.. The beer at the brewery awesome love sample platters of them.. Tacos in Belgium wow.. lol I'm there for sure to. Wonderful trip thanks♥♥

I knew you were from Miami before you said it! (So am I) Thanks for the video...fab.

Damn, i was just there last week and did not try the mussles. I will try to stop back next weeknon the way to antwerp after seeing this!!

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

Great review. You are the BEST you tube channel Mr Hoffmann. Tomorrow working day... byebye

Yes. I like the flavor combination. VG❤

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

pretty lady serving you dessert!

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.

good video

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?

Welcome to my city, David You are one very lucky man, eating and drinking so much and still staying that thin. ;)

That woman is an energy vampire.

❤❤❤❤❤

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.

you need to check out the bells at the riverside church in new york,best on a sunday

13:00 I think I've met that chocolatier in real life too once. A really nice, down to earth guy who's simply obsessed with chocolate

Beautiful Serene n Scenic City ❤ amazing Gothic architecture style buildings. Hello from India 🇮🇳

The moment you put hot sauce .... hahahha I totally cringed... (ps. I am belgian)

💪😎

I likyy😊

Gggreat video

Tonya, the waffle "artist," was so coy and a little snarky in the best way!! She knows how to elevate the liege!! That hot sauce move David...now that was truly shocking 😂🌶

That's how you do chocolate! Man, that looks soooo good! 🍫

Good thing Tanja didn't see you putting the hot sauce on the waffle, after you just asked her the correct way to eat it 💀💀😂

Where are the best chips in Brugge? I’ve heard they’re the best in the world in Belgium! 👍👍👍

Bacon chocolate ok, but ansjovis chocolate is the perfect combo

So strange to see this on video, i see all of this every day haha proud citizen of bruges! 🙂 but no cap these are the most tourist things tourists do here😅

Dude, we eat liege wafels without toppings. Brussels wafels with some powder sugar. That's it.

Wow, that chocolate convention what you sniff is crazy but don’t make the wrong hands get hold of it, the people who sniff the white stuff because they be going crazy 😂😂😂😂

Amazing video David.After Holland you should definitely travel to France,Romania and Switzerland.

What movie is it

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

900th person that like wow ur so popular I live here btw

I think you ruined it with the hot sauce, though

🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪🇧🇪

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.

Beer "Brugse zot" meen" fool from Brugge"😅

No Indian food in Belgium ?

concert going on - > American: too much noise 🤦🏼‍♀️

Did I hear right? 30€ for the mussels? they might be good but WTF!? It used to be 12 € back in the day, and now it's about 20 (wich I think is pretty expensive) you said 30? you were scammed, as good at it was, this is theft

Waffles with toppings is blasfemie...

not real content too much eating and drinking noise
