I recently went to Bruge on a coach outing for the day, doing the tourist bit I had done many years before when I ate in the main square on a balcony facing the square, for a reasonable price, so I wanted to repeat this, firstly it was a hot day and we were three ladies and I ordered 3 Belgian beers and lets face it on a hot day a cold Belgian beer is wonderful, the waiter was reluctant to serve us , he was quite hostile and said we must go inside because these tables were for people who wanted to eat, when we told him once we have finished the beer we will be ready to order, just leave the menus, his attitude changed and we could stay. I had the moules and yes the whole meal though enjoyable, cost far more than we expected and we wont be going back.
No your not mean, now its a rip off town, buses are no longer allowed anywhere near the actual town so you have a good 20mins walk or if you cant do that a taxi at top whack prices, a friend said she once caught a local bus but we did not see any.
