best mussels in bruges
 

We just booked a weekend trip (literally 5 minutes ago) so I haven't purchased a guidebook yet. Can anyone give suggestions for the best mussels in Bruges?? Prefer something off the beaten path a bit and moderately priced.

Restaurant 'Breydel en Deconinck" in the Breydelstraat, which is the little street between the marketplace and the Burg.
This is of course 'ON' the beaten path...

The general quality of a dish of mussels depends mainly on the quality of the mussels, which in general is OK. Someone holding a restaurant in Brugge capable of screwing up (pardon!) a pot of mussels wouldn't stay in the business very long. In general, you can eat them wherever they are on the menu, and you don't need to go especially to a fish restaurant. Prices are quite the same.
Have a mussel for me!
