Bruges, brewery " De Halve Maan "

Yesterday, we went for a walk in Bruges. With far less tourists
and the light of a late summer sun, the town looks already
more charming. 
Doña B. decided that we would all have lunch in brewery
" De Halve Maan ". It's an old brewery in the centre of Bruges,
on the Walplein.
They have guided tours, a restaurant and a cosy patio. although I
supposed the place to be one of the many tourist traps, it was a
pleasant experience. It's not very crowdy around this time of the year
and the staff is always friendly and very professional.
The menu consists of traditional local dishes for a moderate price.
Don G. got a beef stew and was very happy with it, and doùna B. and
I choosed the tomatoes, stuffed with shrimps. All came with french
fries and while don G. had a glass of water, we drank a "Brugse Zot",
a heavy blond beer with a very rich flavour.
Off course, for those seeking the very best of Belgian gastronomy, than
there are other ( and more expensive ) restaurants. But if you just want
a good lunch, it's the right place to be.
Try to find a moment when it's not too crowdy. And pay a visit to the
brewery itself, you won't be disappointed.
Anyway, we enjoyed our meal and found it a very satisfying experience.
