The Country Belgium in Europe

Gelateria Decadenza: “The ice cream in town!”

Real Italian gelato and sorbetto served in a little shop in the centre of Leuven. The flavours differ depending on the day or occasion. When there was a flower market on the town square for instance, they offered flower sorbetto’s. Very nice! Opening hours can be a little tricky, so make sure to check their facebook page which is updated daily, if you plan on treating yourself to this delicious ice cream. And do yourself a favour: try the sorbetto al cioccolato.

Hotel Chamdor: “Nice big room, very good service”

The building itself isn’t much and the location is far from beautiful, but the room we booked was spacious and very clean and quiet. We felt very welcome. Breakfast was fine with a nice soft boiled egg. We booked the suite because of the modern looking bath tub which turned out to be rather small for two persons.

Hotel Nicolas: “Lovely stay in the “Westhoek”

We booked a room in Hotel Nicolas and a table in Hostellerie st Nicolas to celebrate my birthday. We booked the smallest room, which was very lovely with a big and comfy bed, a big shower and a fridge with free champagne, jay! We dropped off our luggage at noon and got a little tour of the house and some explanation about the facilities.

We used the shower and the lovely bathing products (different products for men and women) before going to dinner. To get in the right mood, we drank the little bottle of champagne, which was excellent. After a copious meal at the hostellerie we returned to the hotel for a good night sleep. The hotel is situated at walking distance from the restaurant.

Breakfast was absolutely wonderful. For only 18 euro we got a multicourse meal, with homemade paté, ham, jam, cheese from the region, delicious scrambled eggs, fresh fruit salad, yoghurt, lots of bread and pastry. It was just too much. Everything was super fresh and presented with the greatest care. The lady of the house herself brought the food at our table, which made us feel very welcome.

I’m sorry to read that leysfi had a bad experience caused by the overbooking. We also booked by e-mail and had no problems whatsoever. We really enjoyed our stay here.

In Flanders Fields Museum: “Recently renewed”

This museum tells the harrowing story of the first world wore which devastated the Westhoek region and destroyed numerous lives of young men, children almost. The museum uses modern technology to show the hardship of war. An absolute must see when you visit Ipres.
