I have to be in Brussels in April for a meeting and have just found out that one of my best mates from Asia will also be there.

I seem to recall that Gent was more interesting than Brugge—but my mate seems to recall the reverse.
What would you say? We're mainly interested in cozy bars, Belgian beer and good food—but are also open to other advice.
Any thoughts/suggestions from your side would be much appreciated.

Brugge is like a living museum, it's very tourist oriented.
Ghent is a live student town, that happens to have a historic city center.
they both have their merits, i just think Ghent is more alive the Brugge is.
I work in Ghent, let me know when you know your dates.
EDIT, now you mention it.. Brugge always has busloads of Asian tourists... i think it must have something that tickles their oriental fancy
