Advantages: If you want mussels there's plenty of choice at Bacino Disadvantages: Think twice about trying 5 different types
with bread but the layout of the serving dish just didn't facilitate that at all. There wasn't space to push the mussels to one side and the dish was too high to get a spoon in and out comfortably.
I guess we ate about half the mussels between us. My pile of shells was certainly bigger than Katya's but more modest than I would have expected given the frenzied state of anticipation I'd been in at the thought of a good mussel fest. The chips - needless to say - all got guzzled up but our performance on the mussels was a bit pitiful. And they aren't exactly the kind of thing you can take home in a doggy bag.
We passed on desserts and coffees because we were a bit ashamed of not having got further through the mussel mound. The bill for the three of us was a shade under Euro75 which was not expensive for a night out in Antwerp but considering ...
I'm lucky to have friends, Alex and Katya, who live in Antwerp and when I visit the city for work, I try to meet up with them to play with their very fine Persian cat and go out for dinner.

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 ...
