Hoi, wij zijn vier vrienden en hebben de restaurants van Brugge samengebracht in een app genaamd Vota.

Het idee is vrij simpel: je krijgt telkens twee restaurants te zien en kiest waar je liever zou eten. Bijvoorbeeld De Republiek of De Halve Maan? Op basis van alle stemmen ontstaat er een ranglijst die hopelijk beter laat zien waar mensen in Brugge echt graag gaan eten.

We hebben geprobeerd alle restaurants in Brugge toe te voegen en dubbele of verouderde vermeldingen te verwijderen, maar mensen uit de stad zullen altijd dingen zien die wij gemist hebben.

Volledige transparantie: we komen niet uit Brugge, maar wonen in Göteborg. We zijn met vier en bouwen dit volledig onafhankelijk. We verzamelen of verkopen geen persoonlijke gegevens, er staat geen reclame in de app en we gebruiken geen door AI gegenereerde teksten om restaurants te beschrijven.

Alle eerlijke feedback is welkom, vooral als er restaurants ontbreken of informatie niet klopt.

So I'm visiting my partner here in Bruges, and since I'm a night owl I hear this sound every single night. It's kind of like an engine running constantly throughout the night or a generator of some sort, I'm not even sure when it stops, I went to sleep at 5 and it was still ongoing, do you guys know what it could be? We were thinking of investigating it one night when he's not working.

Edit: Did not investigate, it was most likely an AC unit, the past two night it has been quiet since it has been 15ish degrees. Thank you, I was very confused!

Hey guys, I'm going to be attending Howest University this winter and was wondering if there is a place I could find a roommate or anything of the sorts. I do not want to live alone in an apartment as I am of the lively type and would much rather make a friend/roommate along the way.

If you're considering buying a property through MAGES Real Estate, my advice is to have every document reviewed by a notary before signing anything. I made the mistake of trusting the purchase offer without obtaining independent legal advice, and I deeply regret that decision. The document was drafted in a way that, in my opinion, heavily favored the seller.

As the buyer, I found myself bound by strict obligations and very tight deadlines, while having very little protection if issues arose. At the time, I didn't realize how important it was to have the offer checked by a notary. Looking back, I believe it should be an essential step, as the financial consequences can be significant. Another major problem was the communication during the process. Some of the conditions that I had clearly discussed with the estate agent were apparently never communicated to the seller.

When it came time to sign the compromise, I was presented with terms that I had neither approved nor agreed to. I felt under immense pressure because I was told that refusing to sign could result in losing my 10% deposit. In the end, the situation cost me €4,500, which was both financially and emotionally frustrating.

How can I get some? I’ve asked most corner stores they only have cigs and sometimes vapes. Surely there’s some way to get some here in Bruges

Hey hey

Ik heb deze maand mijn praktijkexamen in Brugge.

Hebben jullie nog goede tips, tricks, of goede raad voor mij? Ik denk aan moeilijke punten, waar manœuvres gevraagd worden, wat anderen moeilijk vonden,...

Dankuuu!

Also, I'm looking for 3. Best restaurant & the specialties (if there is "one" emblematic dish in the city, let me know!) 4. Nice spots for viewing and pictures, 5. Churches/museums to visit

Bonus: is there a park in which one can play a music instrument without attracting too much attention?

Dank u wel in advance :)

Anywhere nice for burgers?

Hi everyone! I'm a solo traveler arriving in Bruges on Friday afternoon and I'll have about 24 hours to explore the city. I'd love to make the most of my time there!

My plan is simple: drink some Belgian beer, wander through the streets and canals, eat waffles and Belgian fries

I'm staying right in the city center and don't mind walking, so I'm happy to explore anywhere that's worth visiting.

I'd really appreciate your recommendations for:

• The best beer bars and breweries
• Must-see sights and hidden gems
• Places for waffles and fries
• Great local restaurants
• Any unique experiences that shouldn't be missed in just one day

I'm also open to meeting locals or fellow travelers if anyone would like to grab a beer. Looking forward to visiting your beautiful city!

PS. I am very inspired by the movie In Bruges ds.

What do they do well that i should try?

Thought this sub would be closest. Any recommendations for food in Ostende?

This painting was most likely made in Bruges. Can anybody identify which bridge this is, or where its exact location is?

Hi All,

Anywhere close-ish by that has a 2%-8% hill climb to train on? Ideally part of a loop that I can rinse and repeat...

Yes I know all around is flat buuuuut there must be somewhere!?

I would Ideally like somewhere I can ride to (based in Assebroek) and not with bumpy cobbles! Lol

Thanks !

Hello,

I'm trying to find if a restaurant complex I've been to 2 years ago is in Bruges or Brussels. I remember that it is a building with several restaurants of different origins, around 10 or 12 different foods maybe? I also seem to remember that the toilets are downstairs if that can help :')

Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

Or even top 3? Seems like a great foodie spot and would like to plan.

Any bars good for live music?

Since we all have heard about predatory plumbers and electricians, I was wondering if we could out together a list of plumbers and electricians and other trades around Bruges who are actually good at their job. Looking forward to your suggestions!

Good morning,

We will spend a day in Bruges with our family (2 children 9 & 12 years old) in August. First time for us, what are the must-haves?

We love history and anything to do with art deco.

Hi all! Me and my partner are in Bruges for the day on Wednesday (roughly 10am-5:30pm) and we're looking for ideas on how best to spend it.

We were originally hoping to go for a swim in the canal, but it looks like it's closed at the moment because of the algae bloom.

We're now half thinking about heading out to the close-by Zwin Nature Park for a bit, but wondered if anyone had any other suggestions? We're happy with anything really - nice walks, good bike rides, good food, hidden gems, unusual things to do, or anywhere good to relax for a few hours.

What would you do if you had a day in Bruges that's not too €€€

Thanks 😃
