Belgian waffles

We love to visit Zeeuws-Vlaanderen. Once a part
of the county of Flanders, it's now "abroad" and
Zeelandic Flanders belongs to the Netherlands. But
being separated from the rest of the Netherlands by
the river Scheldt, and sharing a long border with
Belgium, its character is very similar to Belgian Flanders.
Same landscape, same dialects... one never has the 
feeling that there is a border.
A popular place is Sluis. This modest market town
is crowded with Belgian Flemings during weekends
and holidays. They populate every tea room terrace
and spend the afternoon  window shopping.
Some will have an exclusive meal in "Oud Sluis".
Sergio Herman's restaurant is in the S. Pellegrino
world's fifty best restaurants list and has an
outstanding reputation.
Doña B. and I nearly always end our stroll in the
"Petrus & Paulus" tea room to feast on waffles.
The place is very popular for some reason. 
Indeed the best Belgian waffles ever can be found
in the Netherlands!
