Advantages: If you want mussels there's plenty of choice at Bacino Disadvantages: Think twice about trying 5 different types
sometimes tricky beasts.
Bacino is located on the corner of a side street very close to Antwerp's beautiful cathedral and it's a rather traditional looking bar/restaurant in typical Belgian style. After checking that they definitely had mussels, we were taken to a table in the conservatory-style terrace area where several other tables were already taken. Our table was right next to a fearsome radiator that made it so physically uncomfortable that I had to change seats just to get away from the heat. On the window ledge beside us were all manner of bizarre nick-knacks including a wooden model boat, three of Snow White's seven dwarfs posing as garden gnomes and two mismatched table lamps.

First Impressions
Entering the restaurant was like stepping back in time. The ground floor had a small room with bare brick walls, a complicated looking sink and beer tap to one side and a staircase heading to the first ...
Advantages: Nice bright conference room Disadvantages: Desperately in need of refurb and NEW reception staff
The Ramada in Antwerp is based in a rather striking mirrored building but delivers rather less than the sparkling exterior would suggest. I've stayed there several times and always come away thinking that just a little more effort could make this into a pretty nice hotel but I can't imagine that happening, mostly due to the rather dour attitude of the staff.
Customer Service? What's that?
On my most recent visit, I arrived by taxi from Brussels airport, squeezed myself and my wheelie-bag through the rotating door, was as always impressed by the nice looking lobby and then brought quickly back down to earth by the utter indifference of the reception staff. I waited for a ridiculously long time whilst the receptionist held a convoluted conversation with an elderly lady in front of me. Despite leaving the desk and popping into ...
