Would wholly recommend Ghent, bigger and more alive than Bruges IMO.
If you're into art there's a fantastic Modern Art and a Classical Art Museum.
The town is renowned for being vegetarian friendly - https://stad.gent/ghent-international/city-policy/food-strategy-ghent/thursday-veggie-day
Two restaurants I would heartily recommend are:

We've cycled the opposite way Dunkirk towards Ghent/Bruges and the outskirts of Dunkirk are pretty industrial and bleak. Lots of Atlantic Wall stuff around there if you fancy it though, along with Military Cemeteries, placques and the like.
Be aware that 90% of the routes on the Belgium side are canal/water-side, quiet, flat and lovely to ride on, but for some people they're agonisingly dull. I've attached a picture of our route.
Good luck!
