Review of Logies Graaf Van Vlaanderen 2*

Called in here for lunch with my daughter, menu was quite basic. We received quite a warm welcome. The waiter was friendly (to start with). We ordered chicken breast fillet and our drinks. Our drinks arrived but then we were told they had no chicken. We took another look at the menu but there was no other meals that we ate so asked if we could just have chips and salads. We could but would have to pay for it as if we were having a full meal as there is no button on the till to put those items through on their own. I'm not tight but I would not pay over 20 euros for a bowl of chips with a side salad. The waitress then came over offering us chicken vol-a-vents. We declined as it's not something we eat but thanked them. We decided to just have our drinks and go elsewhere to eat. We asked for the bill, this was acceptable at €6. We all know once we're home we can't exchange foreign currency coins so I went to pay using the coins. I took out of my purse 1x €2, 3x €1, 50c, 1x 20c, 1x10c, 2x 5c and the other 10c in 2s and 1s. When the waitress saw what I was doing she came marching up informing me they wouldn't accept payment in that way because of bank charges and did I have any other way of paying. I informed her that yes I did but I wanted to empty my purse of change. Again she said she wouldn't accept it but she wasn't polite about it and made quite a scene over it. The rest of the change that I had in my purse around another €3 I was going to leave as a tip but due to her attitude I left it with a different restaurant. Looking around the restaurant at other people who ordered food it looked lovely but we did wonder if we'd had a lucky escape as very few actually finished a meal, lots of food left on plates so it makes you think… did it look more appealing than it tasted?
