The section of this large restaurant called De Berenpub which is decorated with lots of bears(bears & beers,anyone?)is great for a quick snack after one's strolling through the Minnewater. Through sliding glass doors one can exit to a patio with tables for eating in warm weather & directly ahead of this area is a playground,the Belgian version of those provided at Mc Donald's or Burger King here in the states.When we were having a mid-afternoon snack & drinks there,3 contented children were using the slide & the swings,while their mother watched as she ate inside. Our young waitress told us what "Kip" was when we saw it on the menu ;their speciality,"Kip ain't spit," which we should have been able to figure out, except for spit's other,unfortunate meaning in our language, was chicken on the spit, roasted, of course. For 2 Leffe Bruins (beer), a parasol lemon drink and a croque monsieur, the bill totalled 8.43 euros-not likely to break anyone's bank . A tranquil spot set right near the beautiful Minnewater & its swans, in the warm weather this villa-like restaurant with its welcoming family atmosphere would prove a godsend to parents with hungry, tired children. A well-stocked bar, and several beers on tap, also suggested this pub-restaurant would provide as warm a nightly welcome as we received when we visited in the afternoon downtime. Het Bargehuis is on www.brugge.be with a link to its page with pictures of its playground and comfortable interior. On Sundays they feature brunch at 35 euros per person, reservations required, so I surmise that the restaurant is more upscale than the pub section we were in.
