But perhaps the most unique place to eat out in Belgium is the Pacific Eiland restaurant in Ypres, which is located on an islet that once defended the town and is surrounded by water.
Reachable via a bridge, the eatery offers seafood as its speciality, although a range of other traditional dishes are also on the menu.
It is also home to a tearoom and bistro, where tourists can grab a bite for lunch during their exploration of the city.
In the summer months, three terraces are open to the public and holidaymakers can swap their canal boat for a rowing boat for some additional fun on the water.
There is even a small beach area complete with deck chairs where parents can relax while their children discover the playground.
Families will find plenty of sights and attractions if they moor up their boat in Ypres, including the First World War memorials and the Last Post ceremony.
Boating holidays in Belgium are available from the cruise base at Nieuwpoort.
